Stan Winston

I know I'm not related to this guy, wasn't a close friend of his, but for some reason felt compelled to post this. As a movie geek, I've always admired Stan Winston, who passed away Sunday. He's the man behind some of the biggest movie monsters (and aliens and creatures) in recent history. He made the T-rex in Jurassic Park, the aliens in Aliens, the Terminator, and more recently Iron Man. Pretty cool stuff. The following is a link to a video made by the guys at JoBlo.com that shows some of Winston's work.

Andy and Yoriko

My cousin just got married this past weekend and this was their gift from me. Hope it's better than a toaster.

Two videos (not mine)

Here are two pretty great videos. The first I found on www.funnyordie.com and the second has apparently been around for a while (nearly 30 million views!) but it is fairly new to me. I like that Charlie looks a lot like Curly from the Three Stooges.
