Monster of the Day #474

Part 1:”Dino chow? Why, thank you, Mike”
Part 2: “Pawhh, garf! What did you make this with, Neanderthall? Thank, jerk!”

I don’t think this is Carnosaur, so I’m going to guess Dinosaurus.

This is no movie named ‘Dinosaurus’. However, there is a movie named ‘Dinosaurus!’.

Nerd Burn!!!!

SEE: Prehistoric Monster Versus Monster Machine!

Man, DINOSAURUS! is one of the greatest movies ever made! I was introduced to the film via a silent, black and white 50ft digest. I mostly remember the tyrannosaurus marching through the trees, projected onto a big white sheet. I was probably seven or so. The most awesome thing I’d ever seen, and few things have topped it since, truth be told! The film was subsequently one of the first films we bought on VHS in town. What magic! And the recent DVD release from Image? It’s like seeing a whole new movie! What perfect ingredients: stop motion dinosaurs and what may be Ronald Stein’s most powerful score.

“Sound the alarm! Dinosaurus!!!!” That always gives me a thrill!

Hmmm… so many ways to go with this:

DInosaur week part 2?
Stop motion animation week?
Irving S. Yeaworth week?
Jack Harris week?
Mexican Kenny week?
Actors who never worked again week? (oh, wait, that’s every other week)

BTW, was the title a typo or did the producers originally intend to invent a new word?

Rock Baker

Which actor would that be? I believe Ward Ramsey did quite a lot in television after 1960. The kid too, as a believe he was the little Mexican tyke “Alfredo” who tried to sneak across the border in Lucy Ricardo’s trunk.

I assume they just thought it sounded cool.

Beckoning Chasm

Yeah, I knew about the exclamation mark, I just couldn’t figure out how to put it in without looking like I was hyperventilating with enthusiasm.

Ken_Begg

Surely today’s subject would explain any such avidity.

Beckoning Chasm

Mayhap so; but my non-conversant nature with today’s occurrence (in an exteroceptive sense, of course) was frustrative in regards to expression, particularly in the sense of felicitous sentence structure. Otherwise, yeah.

Ken_Begg

Indubitably.

Flangepart

Oh, yeah…the kid. I never get to see a Kenny disemboweled. Am I asking too much?
I love this flick. When the villain looks like Bluto, and his henchman looks like Popeye…as played by J. Michael Pollard, kinda…whats not to love?

The Rev.

This one is a good example of, “More than the sum of its parts.” Overall, it’s not too bad a movie, but there are enough interesting and amusing touches throughout that it leaves you thinking even more fondly of it than you might otherwise have done. (The pictured climactic fight, however, is pure greatness, full stop.) This was a pretty big hit at a past T-Fest, as I recall, as well it should be.

I think the caveman guy also had a career after this. However, I’m pretty sure that several other members of the cast stopped making movies shortly after this, if not immediately thereafter.

Anyway, it was just a quip :)
