The Last Movie you have seen ? [I'm a Movie Addict]

@ChipmunkErnie I love that movie. I am much more impressed with special effects done in the days of limited technology than I am with digital wizardry which is so painless to implement. King Kong was a blend of "claymation" (using a flexible miniature figure) and animation (for facial expressions), and I think it was done beautifully.

@DrWatson Technically not "Claymation" -- that's Gumby and Wallace and Gromitt -- but stop motion animation by animation pioneer Willis O'Brien, use of painted mats, etc. I love the story that O'Brien was really pissed because you could see Kong's fur moving from his finger-pressure when he moved the model, he thought it was a terrible mistake. Then the studio execs saw thew footage and complimented him on how the bristling of the fur made King look so much more alive!
