@CHamilton10315 Those mid 70’s fantasy and Sci-fi Doug McClure films are all cheesy fun.

Tonight's sword & sorcery movie is "Warlords of Atlantis" (1978).
To be honest, I don't think I've ever heard of this movie before so I really don't think I've watched. I'm going into this completely blind but Wikipedia tells me that it was made by the same people to did "The Land That Time Forgot", "The People That Time Forgot", and "At the Earth's Core", which I have seen and liked, so I'm hopeful.
With not much else to say, I'll explain that I'm doing this exercise of watching S&S movies is research for my stories. I'm still writing and publishing "Warriors of the Hollow Earth" which is a S&S story with dinosaurs, serpent men, and weird science. If you're interested, then the link to read it free is pinned to my profile.

@ttorroo There were probably dozens of each genus. How many species of each genus were coexisting is the question to be answered.
English
so… currently there are 2 species of two biggest theropod, Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus. the question is. is there other Giganotosaurus species as well?
English
@OathenCelegost @HighEarthOrbit_ Yes. Especially with a post or two referencing orbital photos. I just found zooming in looking for a causeway somewhere on the Alaskan coast.

@cornett195 @HighEarthOrbit_ It blows my mind that the first picture makes tha area look massive but in reality on a ma it’s barely even a dot

This photo came from a deceased General's personal Facebook page, posted 15 years ago...likely taken from a classified military space asset.i've never seen a photo like it before. It really is a unique photo.
Answer: coast of Alaska.

Guess the location in this photo

@M3S0soic It’s almost as ubiquitous as the Wilhelm scream. It’s in hundreds of movies and television shows.

And during the Gemini 8 crisis we hear another T.rex roar this time the one from The Land Unknown (1957).
The same later used in The Munsters, King Kong (1976) and Gamera the Brave.
Meso☄️@M3S0soic
T.rex "cameo" in First Man (2018). This movie deserved a lot more awards than it got, especially for the score but at least it got its Oscar for visual effects. Seems like it's one of the last few categories that rarely gives freebies.

@BrianCoryDobbs @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer I don’t agree that it’s symmetrical. Have you not studied geology and how our understanding of it is applied to the surface structures we see on Mars before you assumed it’s a millions of years old pyramid?
English
@cornett195 @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer So you're saying that Mars geology works differently than Earth's, and is capable of making giant symmetrical hexagons?
English
Comment from YouTube...
"There are only two explanations possible:
1 - this is not a hexagon.
2 - there was a very old civilization of creatures living on Mars at the time of the Dinosaurs."

@BrianCoryDobbs @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer No idea if it’s a volcano but an arelogical origin is exponentially more likely than an ancient civilization.

@BrianCoryDobbs @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer I wouldn’t but I’d also expect flank collapses from a millions of year old shield volcano.
English
@cornett195 @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer Pyramids on Earth aren't in pristine condition, so why would you expect a millions-year-old megalithic structure on Mars to be?
Egypt pyramids.

@BrianCoryDobbs @johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer Doesn’t look perfectly symmetrical and appears to have landslide deformations along the right side.
English
@johnny_cakes22 @Mars_Revealer Don't get stuck on the dinosaurs. In other words, millions of years ago.
NASA claims pareidolia for everything. Clearly, we're not just seeing things. This is a perfectly symmetrical 1-mile hexagon on Mars.
Nature doesn't make those.

@Titanicreations Congratulations to the sculptor. Gorgo looks gorgeous.

With the positive reception to Reptisaurus yesterday here is a look at chibi Gorgo.
All of these will be $25 and the pack of 4 will be $80.

@FromTheDepths88 I have no doubt the movie will be a technical masterpiece but I also won’t be surprised if I leave the theater thinking it’s among the least enjoyable Greek mythology film I’ve ever seen.
English
As a fan of Nolan's I'll concede that he isn't the most visually stylistic director as far as visuals go. When it comes to editing though, that's another story, and that’s where I think his Odyssey will excel. The use of multiple scenes together to maximize a theme (cont)
Punished Venom Deat@Deathcheat6
I’d be down for this “because it looks cool” mentality if Nolan had more stylistic personality and it was in fact “cooler”. He’s not John Boorman or Frank Miller.
English
@Sketchy_raptor Personally I wouldn’t care if it’s explainable but I would expect some mythology. The human characters wouldn’t be the first to find the lost world. So either legends of the area or evidence of previous explorations should be included.
English
Follow up question: would people feel unsatisfied if the reason for dinosaurs appearing/being found in a story with a grounded tone wasn't actually explained? With the idea of it being an "unsolved/unsolvable mystery" being a deliberate plot feature?
Dr Matt Dempsey@Sketchy_raptor
It feels like the Jurassic Park premise of "dinosaurs resurrected via science" has kind of replaced other dino fiction premises in anything attempting a realistic, grounded tone. Does suspension of disbelief still allow for "Lost World" settings that aren't pulpy or fantastical?

@na81992647 @dr_mafoony The MG films had already been released in Japan a year before Megalon came to the states. Not sure Toho even realized that the Godzilla fanbase was growing by leaps and bounds in the US during the early 70’s due to Saturday evening and midnight movie syndication.
English
@dr_mafoony It's still funny how this film bombed in Japan yet made gangbusters in the US.
...do wonder if the Mechagodzilla films were able to be made due to it's international success though.
English
The entire Japanese section of the Godzilla franchise got painted in a goofy light primary because this one moment from one of the lower grossers got lodged in the popular conscious thanks to an acquisition from a U.S. distributer that put a shit ton into marketing.

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

Here is Tarzan Tyler in 1965 taking his time trying to get his sparkly singlet off to reveal his ring tights while the fans heckle him like crazy
We also have legendary WWWF announcer Ray Morgan on the call from the National Arena in Washington, DC as well....

@Emily_Art A Toho/Hammer co-production would have been interesting.
