Hey. Did anybody catch that special on the discovery channel, "When Dinosaurs Roamed America"? I just saw it. Great 3D animations and design. The compositing was a little crappy though. What'd everyone else think of it?

It's been around for awhile, they are actually making a "sequel" to it. This time it focuses in the dinosaurs that roamed the americas. It won tons of awards too; and yeah it was really cool overal, heck and it was made for TV.

Actually Vgta....exo13 is talking about the sequel you mentioned(did you read what he said?)....you are talking about Walking with
Dinosaurs........

I think it's cool.....putting dinosaurs in a
nature show type platform is very interesting...
not like those damn science class video's.

Discovery channel? Is that an IRC channel, as in #discovery?

They had a "making of ... one of them" I watched that and part of "When Dinosaurs Roamed America" the other night...

Off the subject a little... Did any of you get to see A T. Rex named Sue? I did with my aunt... T. Rexes weren't that big. Yeah they were big, but from what TV says and the imagination you're thinking Empire State Building big, but these creatures were only about the height of a 13 story building... okay it might have just been me! Jarassic Park III is out today!

Yes, I forgot about Jurassic Park 3 being out today! I hope it doesn't suck like the second. David Koepp deserves to go to screenwriter's hell for that one, oh wait, he went on to write Urban Legend, I guess he's already there.

The second Urban Legend SUCKED!

Actually, they're like 40 feet long and about 15 feet tall with an average weight of 6 tons...That thing must've dropped some pretty nasty steamers!

What's the name of those two bigger carnivores they just found? Not the spinosaurus. I think they lived in South America or somewhere in Central America, I'm not sure.

they also found out that dog-lizards (mammal's that laid eggs that looked like dog lizards) exsisted way before warm blooded animals exsisted.....
