Today, matthew, I'm going to be asking a question...

So, everyone. What is your favourite dinosaur? And why?

And the little ones wouldn't have believed it either: "Eeeh, there goes grandad, telling his 'I fought a T-Rex' story again..."

Actually my big book of dinosaurs had a similar scene in it too. I wonder if a triceratops smacking a T-Rex is part and parcel of the dinosaur-education experience? They had the original silent "Lost World" on at VB-Movie when I was there last week, but in that the Triceratops gets eaten. What a swizz, I say.

I think they thought it would upset us if the Triceratops got beaten. Little do they know kids.

I suggest instead they show a picture of the two lumbering giants facing each other, then a second with a T-Rex dabbing its mouth with a napkin and ordering liquers. Much more realistic.

"Care for a hParasuchus, Mr. T_Rex? They're wafer thin?"

didn't one of the old harry hanhausen movies have a fight between a t-rex and triceratops in it? i think if people were asked to picture a fight between 2 dino's most people would come up with those two and be rooting for the triceratops. they were my favourite, i had loads of toy dinosaurs when i was younger. my triceratops was pink for some reason. I was very disappointed when i found out that they weren't actually pink

Yes - I think it was The Land that Time forgot, but it may have been The Valley of Gwangi. I forget.

No, I'm wrong, it was One Million Years BC. What am I thinking? I must have been disrtacted by the fur bikini.

Yes. My ideal woman, in many ways.

I'll bet!
i've actually sat through that film as well. I think it would have been more interesting if i'd not been sober
