Very special effects

Industrial Light and Magic has always been associated in my mind with Lucasfilm projects, for obvious reasons-- it was founded in the 70's by Lucas himself, after all.

But in addition to the obvious Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, IL&M has also done work on other Spielberg productions such as E.T., Henson productions (Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal), competing sci-fi franchises (most of the Star Treks), the Back to the Future trilogy, and frankly almost every other major effects film up through the Hunger Games and the Avengers.  I knew they were a major player, but that's just ridiculous.

In other news, this is my 200th post since the move to Blogger.

Yay.
