[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2221355, member: 2205"] I rented it from Netflix. It was a bit of a marathon to get all the way through it; it's about half an hour too long for the type of material it includes. A bit more biography, and a bit more explicit discussion of the effect he had on fantasy art in particular, and book sales, even, would have been interesting. What they did have was interspersed sadly through a great many long, drawn out ramblings of other artists, or old folks that knew him, or shots of him walking around as a very old man with some childhood friends talking about playing baseball or other extremely mundane things. It would have benefited from a good editor to trim it back a bit. They showed a shot or two of the movie side by side with a painting. The shots were pretty nondescript and unremarkable. One of the paintings they tried to emulate was "Egyptian Queen" and one was "Rogue Roman." [/QUOTE]
