R.I.P. Stan Winston
You may (or may not) know him as the practical effects wizard behind Terminator, Jurassic Park, and Predator among others. Tis a sad, sad day for movie buffs.

It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I'm sorry that the man is dead. May he RIP. But not all of us go to the movies because of their special effects. Some of us even avoid a movie for that very same reason.

Yah, just read this on AP.
Never met or knew Stan, but hung with his mentor on occasion, Ray Harryhausen and others in the industry like Jittlov, et al.
Great talents, these people, and few of the masses will ever know because they bolt before the end credits roll.
