This was THE guy for special effects! He's going to be missed!

Thanks for the dinosaurs, Stan! I don't remember ever having been so impressed by a movie as I was the first time I watched 'Jurassic Park'... and my breath still catches when I watch it again.

Adieu.

yeah I remember the first time I saw JP, in particular being totally blown away by the first shots of the dinosaurs standing in that field eating the trees.

I actually exclaimed out loud "Whoa!!"

Nice work Stan.. you did good.

This is indeed bad news.

He will be missed. From now on each movie I see he worked on, I'll think of him.

I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
