Anonymous asked:
What's your favorite depiction of dinosaurs in media? I feel safe assuming that every herpetologist (and probably ornithologist) was a Dinosaur Knowledge Kid growing up.
I feel called out. I loved dinosaurs so much as a kid that instead of bedtime stories I made my mother sit with me and read an entire dinosaur encyclopedia. I was seriously bummed to learn that fewer people ask you what your favorite dinosaur is when you're an adult (it's Deinonychus. if you even care.).
Anyway. I can't not say Jurassic Park; I loved it when it came out and it's still easily my favorite dinosaur movie. Its depictions of dinosaurs aren't always accurate - for example, the "Velociraptors" aren't even Velociraptors, they're way too big and are more like Deinonychus, and in a real dinosaur their wrists wouldn't even be able to bend that way - but it had amazing animatronics that made dinosaurs look super real and super cool.
That one scene where the kids are trapped in the cars and the T. rex's pupil shrinks in response to the flashlight beam? Still gives me goosebumps.
And the velociraptors and other dinosuars might not be accurate but they're so much fun to watch! They move in ways that feel real and are clearly based on living dinosaurs (birds, that is!). The whole movie just exudes a love for dinosaurs and clearly wants to inspire awe and respect for them. The practical effects still look amazing today. Jeff Goldblum is there. What's not to love?
In terms of more accurate depictions, I absolutely adored Prehistoric Planet. The documentary style was so much fun, and I loved how the series treated dinosaurs like real animals instead of some sort of mythical beings. From the way they moved to the thought put into how they might have behaved and lived, they looked amazing and I couldn't get enough!
You know what? Fine. It’s been 5 years. Here’s the version you always wanted.
THANK YOU

"The Brothers Grimm were important contributors to popular cultural European literature" and "The Brothers Grimm were violently antisemitic and misogynistic" are two facts that can and should coexist with each other.

It's midnight, I stumble out of Chicago union station bloody, I collapse dramatically on the steps, the bright warm glow of a streetlight illuminating me as I fall, the song Dancing Queen by ABBA begins to play from an unknown source, as the snow slowly begins to fall on my lifeless body as you see a woman in a long white fur coat with red stains exit the building, you are too preoccupied with the music source to stop my murderer
"Please ma'am . . .
Which stop for.. which sto...
Which stop for the bean?!"
A woman murdered me and your main concern is seeing the Fucking Bean at Midnight while it's snowing
