Statuesque dinosaur fossil discovered

[Edwardo Piet]

Oh I never read Jurassic Park.

I just saw the original movie as a small kid.

I was into dinosaurs wayyyyyyyy before then though.

That was when I was like 6 or 7 that I first saw Jurrassic Park.

... but my 3rd earliest memory ever was being 4 years old and watching really old dinosaur movies. Those super inaccurate ones... (not that Jurrassic Park is accurate lol. It isn't)... the ones with cavemen mixed with dinosaurs.

Still... my dinosaur obsession started right then when I was 4.

JP was the 4th dinosaur movie I saw. The 3rd one was 1 Million Years B.C. I can't remember what the first two were called. I just remember what they looked like.

It's funny because... of course my mental cognition and most basic brain functions developed wayyyyyyyyy before I learned about dinosaurs... but my earliest memories really do involve dinosaurs... so I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that when I try to think a really random impulsive thought the word "dinosaur" pops out. Like... I wonder if the subconscious is strongly connected to the brain's earliest memories as much as it's connected to streams of consciousness writing or attempts at random thought. But enough on that this is a dinosaur thread not a psychology thread lol.

When I was younger, I remember the animated movie The Land Before Time.

That was probably my first introduction to dinosaurs, but it did not interest me enough to care about them.

I thought we were talking about dinosaurs, not slim mold with lipstick.

Oh I was like 5 or 6 when I saw that (The Land Before Time). The original is so much better than all the other ones.

Oh wow... it came out the year I was born. 1988. I thought it came our in about 1993 or whatever when I first saw it.

So you must have saw it around when I was born perhaps, hehe.

ETA: Totally unrelated, Kitkat, but I really like it how you italicize titles like it's supposed to be done. Not many people do it although it's what you're supposed to do with titles. I do it sometimes but sometimes I just can't be bothered lol.

I was born in '79, so....

Yep. Makes sense.

I saw The Land Before time in Kindergarten with my class. I remember just bawling when his mom dies. Same with the Fox and the Hound. Watched it in first grade and bawled my eyes out lol.

You youngsters are too much.

I took my kids to see the Land Before Time in the movies.

Both excellent movies.

But only when we're talking the originals. The sequels of both movies sucked, IMO.

How old were you when the original 1 Million Years B.C. came out though? (it came out in 1966).

That was a fun movie. Even though it was extremely inaccurate and probably satisfies the creationists.... what's not fun about a movie starting with a caveman being chased by a giant iguana pretending to be a dinosaur? LOL.

Interestingly enough, I was never into dinosaurs as a kid.

In fact, I never got into dinosaurs until I read Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton when I was a teenager.

Really? At age seven, my life's ambition was to be Drakkllar, Dinosaur Pirate Of The Spaceways.
