# There will be no more monsters

Stan Winston died last night.
Post anything and everything you have relating to the great man and all his work in this thread please.
Then go and watch The Thing, Terminator, Aliens, Edward Scissorhands, Predator, Jurassic Park and Iron Man.
:(

# May I suggest a compromise?
Stab one eye and then watch The Thing.

# fair enough how about
Tideland, AI, Batman Returns, Big Fish or Galaxy Quest then?

# *Thinks*
Angel Heart or films of that ilk are more my cup of tea.
Films with a twist and a story.

# what afinkawan said
'the thing' is a brilliant thriller/horror movie that can be appreciated outside those genres
and it has not dated very much at all

plus it has some very good bits of black humour

# Never seen Scissorhands
I may do so now :(

Was great seeing one of the preliminary showings of the Queen from Aliens, it's a parking lot in gorgeous sunshine and the queen has been temporarily skinned with binbags. Then it starts moving and your sphincter clenches again as these billowing arms start lashing out at people.

# bit of a sweeping statement to say he was involved in EVERY major effects movie
he was busy, but not THAT busy.

genuine loss to the movies though :(
