Ever wonder how E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Dune, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Alien get the accolades they get? Some of that had to do with Carlo Rambaldi, who did special effects works on those movies. He died today at the age of 86, and his legacy in Hollywood is one of bringing to life one of the most recognizable figures in the sci-fi genre. His works also included the 1976 version of King Kong, Dario Argento's Deep Red, and the 1981 movie Possession (seriously, what the hell is that thing having sex with the main female lead?). Long before CGI ruined just about every movie today, you had Rambaldi, who himself hated the idea of CGI and any other type of computer-animated effects.
