No, you mean this:

If we are changing the discussion to other good dinosaur movies or shows, why aren't we talking about these?

I always liked Denver.

Bro... you gotta watch this movie. It probably won't hit you as hard as it hit 8 year old me, but it is fantastic. Not quite as dark as the book, but great in its own way.

I've caught clips of it on TV, but I can't stand watching movies with commercials. It looks like it's running on TNT this week so I should be able to watch it on demand without the commercials.

when we were kids, my sister was trying to remember the name of this show, and got very mad at me when I pretended to not know what she was talking about.

Check out the The Movies That Made Us episode on this, it's great. Lots of detail on how it was made and more importantly how it was almost not made.

Also one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. I didn't find out until much later the old guy is David Attenborough's brother. I guess one worked in front of the camera and the other stayed behind it.

I hate to be "that guy", but the book was better.

You don't have to be "that guy" when it's something that is pretty much universally agreed upon.  However, the book being better doesn't keep the movie from being a classic.  

[nrslam | 477]

Great book and movie. And the lawyer gets it which is always a winner for me. 10/10.

They usually are. You really can't do all the exposition and plotting of 250+ pages in a two hour movie.

[AirVillain | 494]

How'd I miss this? 

10/10. Insane movie. Still stands up to this day.

I'd like to read the book.

Crazy to think that they started making the movie and Spielberg hadn't even SEEN a CG dinosaur and buddy (at Stan Winston's studio???) just did the T-Rex on his own and melted Spielberg's brain.

Muhfucka get your ass out to a pawn shop and buy this DVD for $5. You will not regret it. 

Also... I came in to say I checked the votes and wish I could be Bearcat right now, but wasn't sure of your style of movie watching.

I, too, will NOT watch a movie on TV because of commercials. Even on Roku where they play commercials during the movies because the app is "free". FUCK THAT. 

So yeah... grab an old DVD or something, (pretty sure it's on Netflix and Prime... yes... it's available on both), grab some popcorn and rock that shit out in the dark one night. 

Or hopefully this TNT on demand thing works... but yeah... you can do it!

I checked and it is on TBS on demand, so I'll have to finally watch it.

6) Denver the Last Dinosaur

Jesus. It's a dinosaur wearing sunglasses who skateboards and plays an electric guitar. It's The Simpsons' Poochie before Poochie ever existed. It's a cartoon about coolness and friendship created by a marketing committee of old white men who had never experienced either of them before. Apparently Denver — and man, what a cool name for a dinosaur, the capitol of Colorado is the bomb, yo — can use parts of his shell to travel in time because no one working on any level of this show gave the tiniest shit about it. And that's cool! (1988)

Haha, me too. I actually bought a new copy of that shirt a few years ago. I found this article from looking up Rude Dog stuff.

Rude Dog and Big Dog are totally separate things!

Holy shit, I remember that too.  Nah, but the big and tall kids in my highschool did.  That was like 5 or 8 years after Rude Dog I think.
