RE: When Dinosaurs Disappointed



No, "Kirky" has not been formally named nor described yet: the paper is in
press, and probably won't be out for about a year.

Cute little guy, though.

That is, if the image they showed looked anything like the little bugger.....

Canadian, actually: CineNova Production.

I would have liked Ultimate Guide to _T. rex_ if my footage wasn't cut out
in the last editing bit, and my words redubbed by the narrator.  Oh, yeah,
and they MISPELLED MY NAME IN THE CLOSING CREDITS!!!!!!!!...  "Tim?"
"TIM!?!"

Grrr.... 

I know how that feels...



But I'm not bitter.

Two more episodes tonight: how many more times can they use the same
tyrannosaur and sauropod footage?



heh. Do we /reallly/ want to know?

I thought the show was OK. It was better than the re-runs that usually appear on Discovery Channel's Dinosaur Week... In any case it kept me awake until the show(s) were over. The re-used footage anoyed me a bit... Although I noticed they seemed to have no trouble with new "Duck bill" footage....although it all seemed to be the same footage to me, only with different heads....

What I would like to see/get is
A & E's DINOSAUR! on video sometime. I know it's not perfect, but I have the book to go with it and I'm rather fond of the book.
(Of course, I also liked the book JP,...too bad Jurassic park didn't have the book's ending, or TLW:JP2 the chocolate-eating dinosaur!!)
