Visual effects, yes. Special effects? no.

I love that one second there's a really tight effect and the next, Chewie is someone wearing a long, brown wig, backwards.

Visual effects, yes. Special effects? no.

Perhaps not even special. Just... effects.

Came for the sweding reference, was not disappointed.

Damn, that Aliens one is A) PERFECT B) such a masterpiece of an original that all the excitement survives replacing almost everything because the timing and framing are so rock solid.

My favorite: Max (son of John) Landis recreates the transformation scene from An American Werewolf in London, with the help of plastic vampire teeth, a wolf puppet, and lots of hairy plaster. (Something tells me it'll end up being better than the AWiL remake he just signed up for...)

OMG Iron Man's homemade Hulkbuster armor is hilarious.
