Sixty million years ago when the dinosaurs were raptured to heaven a few of the sinning ones were left behind. So don't feel bad when dinosaurs living in the present day are hunted down like the ones in these movies. They're the descendants of bad animals. Like Australians!
Friday's Bad Movie Night will be a night of duality. The Last Dinosaur is about a man in a rubber theropod suit. Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend is about a robotic sauropod. Unfortunately neither chose stop-motion animation. That will have to wait until next week.
It looks like I sat on The Last Dinosaur for too long. It was out-of-print when I obtained it but the WB just made it available through their Made To Order DVD service. They say it's a Rankin/Bass Production, the people that made all of your stop-motion animated holiday special favorites! Still, guy in a rubber suit. Let's watch some Harryhausen to make up for it:
Tito Puente!
The lead character in The Last Dinosaur is named Maston Thrust, which I though must be an anagram for something. Let's see:
Hamster Stunt
Stamen Thrust
Mattress Hunt
Ms. Nut Shatter
Must Rent Hats
The Man Struts
Maybe not.
I saw Baby: SotLL at a theater as a double feature with John "Zardoz" Boorman's The Emerald Forest. I guess that theater, and I'm going to assume it was the Oriental Theatre,
was going for a jungle theme. This might mark the first time we watch a movie I've seen in the theater. Except for recent movies like Slither and Piranha. The list is officially too long to look through as it approaches 300 movies.
Here's what happened last week:
