Stan Winston Dead?
 
Ain't I Cool News is reporting that effects wizard, filmmaker and all-around wonderful guy Stan Winston died last night.

Today the world is a less magical place.

what the hell ???? how old was he ?

Roderick Usher 06-16-2008 11:32 AM

He was 62

Great, great man. I only had tyhe chance to get a quick handshake from the man, but that was in his offices, surrounded by the most amazing artifacts - the Terminator, The Gil-Man from Monster Squad, several Men In Black creatures and a few Jurrasic Park Dinosaurs.

It was a great moment for a geek and I wish I had gotten to know the man personally.

Yes he is. :(

And damn...I feel like a part of me is gone. Each one of his creations, his visions...was so much a part of my visual experiences.

I literally grew with the man and his work.

R.I.P. Stan. You will be very, very deeply missed.
