Not that we all don’t love Stu but he was not THE visual effects supervisor for Sin City. He was one of Many VFX sups at the Many shops that worked on the movie.

JoeJoe – you’re right. Actually, I believe he was one of 3, including Robert Rodriguez himself. That said – this was our bad – not Stu’s. He said the same thing after we posted it. We didn’t read carefully. Of course our respect goes out to all of the people that worked hard to make such a ground breaking film. We did not mean to offend.
