Well, that answers the question of what happened to one of the dinosaur puppets from that TV show Dinosaurs.
You joke but that is literally the same type of costume.

And this is one of the things that rubs me the wrong way about Kung Fury: the dinosaur thing is so clearly a 90s fad.

You know how there are those birds that help clean crocodiles in exchange for not being eaten? It's like that, but they also tie shoelaces.

He did, she was driving though and they didn't gently caress. And there was a shitton of CGI (mostly removing wires, and giant gently caress off Duststorms. And the Citadel)So now you can enjoy the movie for how it is.

Fury Road was a masterclass in how to use CGI heavily without detracting from the realistic feel of a movie - there wasn't a single shot that was untouched, and yet the CG work was never the focus.

CGI needs to complement the scene, not dominate it. It's like salt. You want enough, but not so much that it'll overpower the meal and make it a horrible salty mess.

District 9 is another great example of CGI done well. The aliens, their ship, and even the final battle inside a mechanized battle suit don't really call attention to the effects used to make them and are just kind of there. It's all very matter-of-fact when other similar movies would be focused on the spectacle of it.

e: As much spectacle as the movie gets, but still looks relatively plain and realistic given what's going on.

Because "holy poo poo! it's a massive robot suit!" is cool. Doesn't matter if it is CGI or practical or both. It was pretty cool, though.

It is, but I don't think it's very common. Birds that eat parasites off large mammals happens all the time though. There's a similar thing with fish where there are "cleaning stations" where larger fish swim up to have parasites cleaned from them.

First time I saw it; you aren't the first to tell me how popular/good it is.

I was going to try it (i don't think I've ever had rum before), but I was having lunch and didn't want to go back to work with alcohol in my system.

There are however birds that will nest right next to alligator nests and be their intruder alarm in exchange for the gator protecting both of them should the alarm sound.
