#Dinosaur Movies

I love dinosaurs as much as robots. It is very funny to me when ppl freak out about their childhood icons having feathers maybe.

But it is actually more boring if they are all just like Hollywood imagined.

So, my brother and I watched Dinosaur (2000) relatively recently, and besides the fact that it's a bad movie with horrendous character design, one thing pissed him off more than anything else: the movie's use of the word "carnotaur".

Now, to him, this word was just an infuriating attempt at saying "carnivore", which in context, makes sense. What neither he nor I knew at the time is that this is not the case. Carnotaurs are real dinosaurs. And they're really cool.

Carnotaurus sastrei, the only one of its genus, is one of the few dinosaurs we have with some of its skin preserved. We know from those preservations that it had scales, which is one of the things we assume generally about dinosaurs that we have very little evidence for. Carnotaurs also were the only known carnivorous dinosaurs with horns, which is why it's named after a bull. The other half of its name (carno-) means "meaty", and even just looking at the skeleton, you can tell that it was one THICC ASS BOI.

I'm at least 90% certain this motherfucker looked like a sausage with teeth and thighs. We all clown on the T-Rex for its tiny arms, but look at this motherfucker. We're talking whale pelvis levels of vestigial here.

Another cool thing is that geographically, the movie having these as the main hunters makes more sense than having Tyrannosaurs. T-rex lived in what is now North America, whereas these death bratwurst lived in South America. We know that the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs landed in the Gulf of Mexico, and given that we see in the movie that very asteroid hit the earth, I don't think it takes place in what would one day become California.

All this to say, Elliot, I know more about dinosaurs than you. Suck it.

Looks like Gareth gets to check off another big sci-fi franchise that he's worked on. The bar to make a good Jurassic World movie is pretty low at the moment, so I'd say he's overqualified.

If I had a nickel for every time Indominus Rex was mistaken for a real dinosaur, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Favorite line from Jurassic Park.

Jeff Goldblum, I'm always on the lookout for a future ex Ms. Malcolm.

Theodore Rex (1996) fascinates me because it feels like they tried really really really hard to adapt a saturday morning cartoon to live action but said cartoon doesn't exist.

The similarities with the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie are also bizarre. They are both scifi about humans meeting dinosaurs (brought to life by glorious puppets and animatronics) in a dirty and gritty "cyberpunk for kids" city that could only exist in 90s media, both with the tone and mood swinging so hard it's not clear who the intended audience is (besides me specifically), and both with very chaotic productions where they went over-budget and the actors wanted nothing to do with it.

There is also this third movie, Adventures in Dinosaur City (1991), that kind of sort of fits this vibe.

I wonder if the TMNT were in part responsible for this "mini-genre", specifically the first two live action movies.

I was disappointed in 65. I went to watch it despite the mediocre reviews because I wanted to see a good dinosaur movie other than Jurassic Park. I wanted it to be good. Sadly, it was very bland.
