   It does seem a bit odd that anyone would use The Black Hole as an example of    
   good special effects.  That movie came out after Star Wars, yet its 'robots'    
   were trash cans...with moving cardboard inserts...with Crayola drawings of    
   eyeballs on them.  The movie had effects, but they certainly weren't    
   special.  In fact, I think the entire budget for that film was used up on    
   the one scene of the fireball 'rolling' slowly through the middle of the    
   ship.
