NYTimes has an annoyingly difficult to read (at least for me) but interesting look at what's going on with billing blocks on movie posters here. I particularly enjoyed the delicate uses of "and", "with", "as" and "introducing", but its all about as fastidiously specific as you'd expect.

When I saw "We're Back - A Dinosaur Story" my favorite movies were Jurassic Park and King Kong (1933) which we had on VHS with a little button in the case that made Kong roar when you press it.

My dad tried to warn me it was a Disney movie or whatever, but I was like "No dad, dinosaurs eat people. Lets go see it." I loving hated that movie for the amount of people that don't get eaten.

It's quite a kids film but FAR from terrible. It has a super cool and powerful end scene for the villain too, as said above. John Goodman is in it and yes, he's great.

That has to be a satire of minimalist posters. I will keep saying that to myself to stay sane.

As far as the "We're Back" conversation, I watched it recently and it is bad, but it's bad in really bizarre ways. The whole movie is a flashback for no reason. The animation is so wonky that it's hard to tell if the characters are off-model or if they're ever on-model to start with. And there's a little kid who wants to run away and join a circus, because that's still a thing kids threaten to do in the 1990's, right?

There's one thing about this movie I have to point out that made me have to pause and get a strong drink in order to survive it: If you are a dinosaur, according to this movie, you are either a big, vicious violent primeval monster (Bakker's beard, even the Parasaurolophus is bloodthirsty!) or a cuddly condescending giant toy that was kicked off the set of "Barney and Friends" for insulting the three-year-old audience's intelligence too much. It's like, "Hey, Paleo-Geeks! This is What Everyone Else Thinks of Dinosaurs!" the movie. :smith:

Also, if you give it some thought, the "good" Dr. Whatever-Eyes brother's plan is honestly almost as hosed up as the evil brother's.

^^ This reaction is fantastic given all the hand-wringing by concerned parents over the, I think, three people who get eaten in "Jurassic Park". This, incidentally, is why "We're Back" has that insane, "A Stephen Spielberg Dinosaur Movie for the Whole Family" tagline. Yeah, nobody gets eaten, but I guess a freak circus run by a madman who feeds the cute characters pills that make them insane is perfectly fine for the kiddies. :psyboom:

The funniest thing is that Spielberg's name is on both of those posters. And of course Jurassic Park. Guy really likes his dinosaur movies.

You know, the original intent was for The Land Before Time to be done without any dialogue. I think that would have been one of the best pieces of animation work ever had it come to pass.

The only thing I remember about We're Back is that incredibly bad song that plays about 10 times in the movie. I think it's the only song they wrote. They must've blown all their money on the incredibly lifelike animation :rolleyes:

The studio actually killed this by putting it on a double bill with an R rated movie for no adequately explored reason. They wrote it off before it was even released.

That's the main character's name, and the name of the oil company he owns that sends a giant drill through the Earth and ends up in a lost world. So naturally he has to hunt the T-Rex.

I honestly think Desperado is quite subdued compared to everything he did after, starting with From Dusk Til Dawn. I wanna say Spy Kids started it all but From Dusk Til Dawn is way sillier and crazier than Desperado. You could immediately counter and say Desperado is way more nuts than El Mariachi. I think I just like his casting choices and not really anything else. Well, he does make a hell of a breakfast taco too.

Spy Kids seems like a better starting point. Given the content of the film, From Dusk Till Dawn is actually pretty subdued. The silliest element in it is Sex Machine, and that's not much more of a stretch than the two mariachis that show up in Desperado who have their own guitar/gun thing going except they've got a rocket-guitar case and a machine-gun guitar case.
