Q: *I also wish he had written an autobiography of his adventures in making some of the most amazing movies come alive. Alas, to my knowledge, he never did. I hope that all recorded memories of his various interviews and writings never disappear over time.*

Maby you could ??

Oh no, of course not! An autobiography is a self written account of one's own life. An observer could only write a biography, which of course could introduce inaccuracies.

It does seem to be a dying skill. Unfortunately.

I wish film makers would go back to practical effects over the lazy digital stuff. The problem with modern film is, as I see it, even the live action stuff is so heavily saturated with digital filters it ALL looks fake and/or unnatural. What happened to just filming it right and seeing the images that came from the camera instead of digitizing the hell out of it?

Absolutly Right.. I remember when studios came to my local hobbyshop to buy modelkits so they could use the spareparts for the spaceships. I don't know... maby lazyness - lack of expertise mayby...
