Halo 1 pistol. Crazy iconic, not too challenging.

I've just been watching Return of the King: Extended and Star Wars Episode 3. To the Escapists I query: Which special effects studio will stand the ultimate test of time? ILM or WETA? I say Lord of the Rings as a whole. There's still Jar-Jar level badness in one (or more) scenes. But I...
