Stan Winston: RIP
Mikey 5 commentsI have been MIA this week doing a lot of development work on the backend of this site, and I didn't expect to blog at all this week, but hearing this news I decided to take some time.

Stan died peacefully at his home last night (June 15) after fighting multiple myeloma for seven years.

I didn't know who this guy was until just now, but I love a lot of those movies in which there are awesome special effects and well made-up characters.
