Awful

Worst bat transformation effect ever.

Really Crappy Movie Alert

This is a very short clip from Jerry Warren's last movie, "Frankenstein Island". It is seriously bad, but in an entertaining way. This is a sample of the <cough, cough> special effects.


Even this gif is crappy, and the repeating action drops out for minutes, and then returns. Word to the wise.

2001:A Technology Love-Affair

A still from 2001:A Space Odyssey. The pilot area of the moon transport, showing instrument set-up. Kubrick understood that his audience would be fascinated with the nuts and bolts of space transportation 33 years into the future, so he would include sequences that would allow one to marvel at the futuristic designs. No toggle switches. No dials. No needle guages. Lots of computer displays. Convincingly rendered,


Great work, Stanley.


Many Thanks to Monster Man

Just Because

It's such a cool picture. Enjoy.

Star Trek On The Cheap

One of the things to be seen in this publicity still of Leonard Nimoy in his role as Science Officer Spock is the painfully obvious fiberboard and painted broomsticks construction of the "utility tube" he is posing in. 


Pit-ee-ful budget they must have had to work with.


Really.

One Of My Heros

Ray Harryhausen, at work. Looks like one of the hydra's teeth skeleton warriors from "Jason and the Argonauts". This man's cinematic achievements made many a boy's Saturday afternoons at the movies a wonderland of delights.
