But how did the girl noticed instantly that the allo was a female?

I was thinking about that too, I wonder what else got cut.

That scene looks like it was made exclusively for the promo trailers, since its like he is asking directly to spectators. Like, for instance, the promo scenes of Scrat, the squirrel of Ice Age movies.

Exactly what I had thought - he was speaking directly to the audience.

This movie was funny. One of Will Ferrel's better movies.

I think adding Dinos to a film automatically makes it better... ;D

The last movie I've seen that was comparable in overall tone was "Caveman",a spoof of "One Million Years B.C" that starred Ringo Starr.

Ah "Caveman" with the barking dinosaurs, googly eye'd lizard monster, and broken toothed-plant eating T-Rex!

As I recalled, they got the TRex to eat some LSD-type plant, after which he had a real funny 'hangover'!!

Loved the late John Matuszak as the big bad dude - remember him throwing the other cavemen out of the tree so he could have it all to himself as he climbed to escape from a hungry dino?

I'll probably see it this weekend - should I take my 7-year old? He loves dinos, but I think it's rated PG-13. Too much for 7 years or is it okay?

It really isn't that bad.

Great film...picked it up for 5.00 and we've watched it around 6 times since..lol

I think it should be ok for a seven year old..there are some jokes that are a bit adult in nature...but my 13 year old cousin didn't even get most of them so a seven year old at the most..would prob just not know what's going on... if you planned to take him to see the new Ice Age films or have shown him past ones and he was ok..then this should be about that. Killing Alice did kind disturb me a bit though...only thing I didn't like in the whole film.

Alice was the Allosaurus,right?

Yes,though she is never once called "Alice" in the movie,just simply a female Allosaurus.

The LOTL movie is a slap in the face to fans of the origianal--at least those who were into the whole time paradox, closed universe aspect of the series. I still haven't seen it, don't plan to. That's all the dinos they showed? It's good to see I haven't missed much. Compys and pteranodons were shown on the trailers. Raptors--I suppose they're a given nowadays. They would be cool with feathers, though. What were the swarm of flying animals in the trailers? I couldn't tell if they were bats or pterosaurs.

[nobs]

Hard to tell what they are exactly. They are only seen breifly.

I agree I was dissapointed with the relative lack of divirsity of dinosaur fauna.
If you think back though, there really wasnt a huge divirsity in the original LoL series though.

Grumpy- T-Rex
Alice Allosaur
Emily- Brontosaurus
Spike- Triceratops
Spot - Ceolophysis.
Un-named Pterosaurs

And in season 3 they added

LuLu - 2 headed swamp monster (looks like a hydra)
Torchy - Giant fire breathing Dimetrodon

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I think those were bats disturbed by the earthquake...there are the larger pterosaurs though. I thought the whole dino cast was pretty much lifted from JP aside from the Allo .. which should have been in one.

The raptors weren't feathered that I recall....

[ambulocetus]

I recently read on a site that the raptors were NOT nfeathered after all. So much for that. The writer was complaining that Hollywood should start showing raptors with feathers because sceintifically, we now know it to be true. That's soemthing I've been meaning to ask--is there really scientific PROOF nowadays that ANY of the raptor (that is, dromeosaur ) dinosaurs had feathers?

I remeber that was one of the problems I had with the original LOTL. They didn't show enough dinosaurs. why didn't they use the other models from: Dinosaurs: the Terrible Lizards? Strangley enough, there was a styracosaurus they used in one of the commercial bumpers, but never on the show.



You missed three, though: Dopey, the baby apatosaurus, Junior, the baby allosaurus, which was introduced on season 2, and Fred, the Zarn's dinosaur robot, which was actually one of the steel armatures.


Also, if you look very closely at the openin of the episode "Dopey", you can see two motionless ankylosaur models, and an eryops moving in the swamp.

Methematicians deal in proofs. Scientists deal with evidence. And yes they have compelling evidence that feathers were part of the dromeosaur clade, else they would not be so willing to embrace the notion. Microraptor and sinornithosaurus, for example, are classified as a dromeosaur, and it clearly had feathers. The close relationship between the dromeosaur group and aves, and the presence of feathers in members of both groups and a variety of other taxa makes it clear that this an ancestral trait shared by all theropods (the chances that all these groups would evolve similar feathers independently are less than remote, and the very notion goes against everything we currently believe about biological evolution). Questioning whether the group as a whole had feathers would be equivilent to asking if a new group of fossil mammals had hair. It may be that individual species had vestigial feathers (as seen with hair in some mammal species), but the default position should be for feathers of some sort.

Raptors - not dromaeosaurids, their true name is RAPTORS- couldn´t be feathered!

How is supposed that a friggin feathered lizard actually scare someone?? c´mon. That should be a conspirational theory spread by a hidden alliance of mad scientist, Masons and Al Qaeda to discredit Mr. Spielberg, blessed be his name.

Scientific community, we had enough accepting that thing of gravity and evolution once. Now you went too far. Please, know your place. You CAN´T know more than Hollywood and media, ok?

;D ;D

Back on topic for Land of the Lost please.

I guess we wont be seeing any toys released in conjecture with this movie. Would have been neat to have a sleestak toy!

You have been trying to spark another conflict since you came back, your future on this board is not bright right now. Better leave that topic alone.
