Well, we all know it isnt important to the Media blood hounds, and the "News" channels, because he wasnt known as a televised face. All his glory was from behind the camera, and in what he created. I kind of like the fact that the bloodsucking media isnt giving him a big story, because then he would be part of the statistics of cancerous growth, and they would probably go on about his illness more than what he has done, and created for all his fans, and love of monsters.What ticks me off is that the news has spent the last couple days talking about nothing but Tim Russert dying. And not one mention of Stan ANYWHERE on TV. Stan is a movie LEGEND. I had no idea who Tim Russert was (I hate politics) and never watched his show. Yet Stan has been around for decades making the most memorable Movie characters EVER! Stan deserves as much TV time as this Russert guy, if not more. I'm still shocked Stan passed. What is weird is I never met the guy, but I feel more saddened at his passing than some of my own relatives who have passed on.
