R.I.P. Stan Winston...



I just heard...
...and I'm *still* in shock.

The Oscar-award winning special effects guru passed away on Sunday after a battle with "multiple myeloma" (a blood-cancer). He was 62.

Stan Winston's special effects has definitely had a profound impact on my celluloid experience over the years, as I'm sure it has in countless others who've ever seen *any* of his films.
(...CG? SCHMEEGEE! I've always loved it when Winston kicked it "old school"! Respect.)

Stan Winston, you will be missed.

I didn't really know him 'personally' myself.. His prolific effects-work shaped my movie-going life though..
(silly me, I shoulda put a link to his filmography... I shall rectify that now...)
