RE: Original The Lost World on TV
Nobody but me watched it? I admit, you had to get past the music (terrible
silent movie type) and you actually had to WATCH since there was no sound,
but I was surprised to note the parental care displayed by Triceratops
toward its offspring when the adult (obviously female) hustled her little
one off to a protected area away from the attacking meat-eater, especially
since there seems to be so much talk about this being a relatively new
idea. What was especially neat was the added material at the end that
showed stills of some of the footage we know is missing , plus the movie
trailers and the short "cave man/dino" cartoons that Willis O'Brien had
previously made. For more discussion of how these critters were
constructed, there's a book called "Hot-Blooded Dinosaur Movies" b y James
Van Hise (1993, Pioneer Books, 5715 N. Balsam Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89130)
that is great for detailed background on all the dino/King Kong movies
prior to JP. Interesting how they made the dino models look like they were
breathing (rubber bladders). Too bad the version that still exists cuts the
dino stampede down to 1 1/2 min. (orig. it was 5, I think). So much for
this week's fun-and-games. Sorry guys I didn't tape it, and it looks like
it's under copyright anyway for any use other than home viewing. - Sue

Did anyone actually watch this or, better still, tape this?
