Have fun!
drat...directors who never had a bad film...

I can think of three. Akira Kurasawa, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. They made have had some "eh" films but they've never had an out-and-out clunker.

I'd throw Sergio Leone up there as well after some thought.

Brick was so cool. Like it’s not amazing but there’s so many ideas in there. It’s the most “director finally getting to make his first movie” movie imaginable

All i want is given the changes in paleontology and knowledge of dinosaurs in my lifetime to the full understanding they were protobirds.

Current research indicates that it's more like those rumbling noises that Crocodiles make, but since a T-Rex is a lot bigger the effect is a lot more magnified, like if you were close enough you'd feel it with your entire body

Well going off my recent reading on the subject, it seems that once we started finding smaller theropods and especially Archaeopteryx(this was back in the mid 19th century mind you) pretty much everyone came to agree that Birds* were at the very least related to the Archosaurs in some manner, though whether they were their own unique branch or a offshoot of the Dinosaurs remained in debate till relatively recently

Of course between this and the evolving(pun intended) understanding of the evolution of Mammals has led to the realization that Reptile as a term, much like it is with Fish is a pretty meaningless term, at least in the way it currently is used by the layman

*prior to this what birds were related to was heavily debated and poorly understood

when I said nunb nuts in another thread, I was referring to your favorite nut. Which one is it? some examples: pistachios, cashews, and other nuts that are drupe seeds as opposed to "true" nuts.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
I like cashews and pistachios the best of nuts.

I’m jealous of you guys who can watch most movies. The most I can handle right now is Jackie Chan flicks and anime. I watched Gundam F91 which was not great but still a lot of fun to watch.

If you have the option to see F91, I’d say watch the first thirty minutes or so until the scene in the first colony is done. You won’t even see the titular Gundam; this is okay. If you want to see it doing cool things, do a google image search and find some Gunpla. It’s a great design for a mobile suit and I’m excited to build the Gunpla, but the movie is kind of poo poo because it’s a compilation of a series that was cut short anyway.

That is my contribution to movie chat. Hopefully one day I can watch something in live action that doesn’t star Jackie Chan. But if that is my fate, I accept this, and I will watch Police Story again and again with grim determination.
