The Sounds of DINOSAURS...
Hey folks, Harry here. I love little things like this. When you hear them dinosaurs (pre-talking sequences) in DINOSAURS... I love the idea of knowing... where some of those sounds came from. KATHY TURCO... I remember as a kid watching that ol Leonard Nimoy television series on Nickelodeon and he did a big ol interview with Ol Ben Burtt... and I found out where sounds came from for EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI. Then there was this old making of I saw for EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS that had the source of the sonar-y sounds that knock the saucers out of the sky as coming from sewer sludge moving through pipes at a heightened speed. And now..
Harry,
Dateline: Anchorage, Alaska
I don't know if you can call this a scoop or just some cool info, BUT I
went to a party last night for OutNorth Theatre, a local Theatre oranization
dedicated to producing original work. I spent a long time talking with one
of the creative artists involved with a 30 minute play called, "The
Gathering Place", Kathy Turco. No, right now it's not a name you will
recognize....BUT you have heard her work. The sounds of the Dinosaurs in the
Disney flick, "DINOSAUR" were provided by her....
Get this. She is a Seabird scientist who spends Hours, Days, and Weeks
camping out in the wilderness recording natural sounds, including
caribou...Swans flying......Moose...Bears....ANYTHING that has to do with
animals.
The Pterodactyls in the trailer for "Dinosaur"? Swans flying. The sound of
the veggie dinos? Moose.
She was telling me of going to Skywalker ranch..and I was pissing my pants!
This is her first feature flick, but she was telling me her sound library of
live animals was huge. So, I hope the boys with the cash give her some big
bucks for her to continue her work!
OH!....Personal Plug. I was a director of a 30 minute original work created
by myself and my wife called, "The Unravelling of Edison P. Rupright" (It's
a dark comedy about a kid who blows up his high school) Thanks and Give 'em
Hell Harry!
Anchorage, Alaska!
Love and Kisses,
CIRCUSFREAK....

That I think this movie is going to suck wind. That five minute trailer before Toy Story 2 was a complete bore. Peeeeeeyeww.
-
This movie looks great! I just hope it doesn't become "The Land Before Time 8"
Oh, and to Paco J- Have you seen Fantasia 2000 yet? I'd be interested to hear what you thought of it.
Later -
my friends and i were talking about this movie and we started pondering the idea of doing the movie without voices, true to the dinosaur way if you will. now i know odds are it would be boring, but any decent filmmaker should enjoy challenge. just think, a completely realistic dinosaur movie with only music as unatural sound. we think that it could be pulled off, and if it was, it would rock! i mean i am wetting my pants just thinking about the "what if's"! i have been told this is a very bad idea, but i think it could actually work and would make for one landmark of a movie concerning the narrative process. thats what i think anyway,
until next time, i shall remain here in the froze waste land of Canada with my movies and my hockey stick,
canuck boy out. -
I'm in Anchorage right now, and I live with the moose. We're pretty good friends. Except when they get mad and chase me. Or when I shoot one and put bits of him in a stew. I like moose. But as far as animal noises, nothing up here is more impressive than the call of true ravens (not those oversized crows you people have). They caw, gibber, hoot, click and yibble. Yes, they yibble. What does it mean when a huge black raven sits on the hood of my truck, spreads out his neck feathers, and goes "plooop plooop" while jumping up and down? I don't know. But this is sure a cool place to live. When will the sun come back? I miss it.
-
Has anyone seen the commercials for a TV and video series called "Walking With Dinosaurs," produced by the BBC and Discover Channel, I think. I saw it at the beginning of the video of "Lake Placid." This is some of the best cg animation I've seen, especially on television. It really rivals the theatrical trailer. I believe it begins in April. The scene of a gigantic leviathan of a prehistoric crocodile bursting out of the surf to gobble down a full-grown T-Rex was better than watching that shark snack on Sam Jackson in "Deep Blue Sea!" Lake Placid was o.k., but it's worth renting just to watch the "Walking With Dinosaurs" ad over and over.
-
But if they really have REAL voices like: "Oh, Mommy-Stega, I'm afraid of the giant fire-lizard," then fuck that shit, I won't see it no matter how good it looks. I mean it. Okay, maybe once. Under protest.
-
Maybe its that I've seen to much computer animation from movies in general lately, but I thought the 5 minute preview for Dinosaurs didn't compare to Jurassic Park at all. Dinosaurs just looked like a really expensive cartoon, whereas Jurassic Park looked real. It is my opinion that computer effects have been successfully used in three movies (not counting both Toy Story movies)...Jurassic Park, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Starship Troopers. Movies like Men in Black and Twister (and yes, you've got to admit it...Dinosaurs) were only created to show off special effects. Sorry, Disney...but I wasn't impressed by your Dinosaurs preview. Go talk to Steven Spielberg and THEN make a dino movie. Forget about Dinosaurs and bring us some more info on the new Transformers movie (which will be the number one best use of computer effects to date).
-
This show showed a few months ago in the UK and Australia (as well as other places, no doubt). It became the highest rated documentary EVER. its not that great though. (im sure ill have people angry for saying that.) it is a little bit dry, and the animation is very patchy. some shots look like jurassic park 3, some just look shit. Also the hand puppets they use for close-ups are not very good. But the show is fairly interesting, and Kenneth Branagh does a pretty good job on the voiceover. Also, didn't Dinosaurs start out as a talk-less flick, but the idiot suits made them put in celeb voices?
-
Hey, just wanted to tell you I think it's a great idea. To tell you the truth, that's what I thought this movie was at first, and I was extremely excited. Now that I know it's not, I'm not as excited, considering I've pretty much seen this type of thing before. It'll be too similar, although I hope to God better, than The Land Before Time. Obviousley, the CGE will make it cooler, but still, been there-done that.
-
Walking with Dinosaurs was cool. It's out on DVD in the UK and I think it's being released by FOX on DVD in March in the States.
Animatronics was utterly crap and fake, but the CGI, especially T-Rex was excellent considering it's a BBC production (stuff was done by Framestore who did Lost in Space).
Doctor Who fans will find it amusing that the BBC keep using the old chesnut of 'We Can't do a new series of Dr Who as the production values would be too expensive for the BBC' - yet the FX in WWD cost practically nothing compared to US production costs.
As for Dinosaurs having celebrity voices...... SUCKS. What else can you say? -
why was my post deleted??!It was first!I WAS FIRST,DAMMIT!!!AND THEY DELETED IT!!!!!!DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING TO BE FIRST!!?THEY JUST DELETED IT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!!YOU BASTARDS!!!YOU DELETED IT!!!!!DAMN YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
-
Ugh!! I have to say, I liked the trailer they showed before Toy Story II. Obviously, the dinosaurs look somewhat cartoonish, simply because it's difficult to portray emotion in something with anthropomorphizing it some.
But the thought of the dinos talking just makes me cringe. I really thought this would be a movie without talking animals, and I agree with the above post, that would be cool as hell. But the combo of semi-realistic dinsoaurs talking in the usual banal Disney fashion makes my interest drop. Maybe I'll see it on video. -

by alexandra dupont

If she was indeed recording these sounds from the forests in Anchorage Alaska then it is very likely that she picked up a sound from THE IRON GIANT. During His reassemble after the nuke hit Him, His location was pinpointed on a glacier that was not far from Alaska. Considering that location in relation to Anchorage and the time it would take for the parts to come together, it seems very possible that on his way back to Rockwell THE IRON GIANT would be passing through the forest were Kathy Turco was recording. And we all have seen how THE GIANT likes forests. So it is with great interests that I look forward to not only seeing this new Dinosaur movie, but also listening for signs of THE IRON GIANT.
-
Now there's a name for some pre-teen post-ironic rock-metal-funk band. Or not. I disagree with the Dinosaurs-not-as-good-as-Jurassic-Park argument goin' on here. Sure, Dinosaurs main 'characters' have a bit of the doey eyed Disney look, but, for the most part, that 5 minutes of footage had me going 'wow' in a cinema for the first time in a long time. Beautiful, textured, richly coloured vistas and stuff. And all without voices. Of course now we hear that there are going to be voices. And, no doubt, some cute sidekick. Well, I must say some of the antics of sidekicks over the last few Disney flicks have made me chuckle but - goddamit - it would just be nice for the Disney Dicks to break with formula every once in a while.
-
I have mixed feelings about this movie, since I auditioned vocals for the oviraptor seen in the beginning of the film. They decided to go with a fucking musical instrument (a kwiki or kwooko or some fucking thing) instead of animal or human vocals. Fuck Disney.
-
It would be hard to fuck Disney,seeing as he's been dead for 30 years.You'd have to dig the corpse up,and clean out the worms,maybe check for viruses to avoid infections.Unless he's cryogenically frozen,and in that case you could just thaw and insert.Wait a few minutes to avoid cockchill,though,Evil.

I'm just writing the above as an impartial observer and practicing journalist.

Just had a quick consultation. Nevertheless, the warning stands.
-
In spite of what some talkbackers have said, I thought the DINOSAUR preview looked sensational...It had the same effect on me that those PRINCESS MONONOKE clips on HBO did--- BUT I am not going to get my hopes up about this one. Disney ALWAYS comes out with a really cool, serious looking trailer at first, to get you all psyched up, and then you later discover that the movie is going t o be chock full of candyass comedy sidekicks and musical numbers. They did it with MULAN, they did it with TARZAN, and they are almost certainly doing it with DINOSAURS. I guarantee you, the first words we are going to hear coming out of a Mesozoic mouth are going to be corny and stupid! (Too bad Pixar isn't doing it.)
-
I have no idea why I'm standing up for this fat shit-he deleted it!!!I can't beleive it..I feel so violated..-but lemmee ask ya something.You see this site you posted on?You see all these talkbacks?First,I would think you could take a little peek at this site and realize it's not for kiddies.The language!The crude humor!Hell,I mentioned the do's and don'ts of fucking Walt Disney in my last post!This is a wee bit more for teens/adults.No shit. Secondly,a closer look would show the talk of pedophilia/necrophilia/ homosexuality/all other sex-related topics are false.They're for fun.JOKES.If somebody was in love with a little boy,I don't think he would have the balls to tell a million people.Get a sense of humor.And for crying out loud,PREVIEW sites before you let your kids get on them.What bad parents you are.

by el duderino
For thirty minutes of film, how long was the explosion? And what kind of explosion was this? Was there even an explosion, or was it "assumed" that the high-school exploded? Did you even see the high school or the kid, or was it all "assumed". Did this film bomb horribly, given that you "might" have blown up a school in your film and that the price of blowing up a school is quite hefty, or did it manage to make more money than "Titanic"? Did you ever try to blow up YOUR school when YOU were in high-school? Was this story all fictional or did you really get a kid to blow up a school? Maybe this film was a documentary or sorts, except you tricked a kid into blowing up his school, which is in reality quite "funny". Ha Ha. YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!! TRICKING POOR, INNOCENT CHILDREN INTO DETONATING THEIR SCHOOLS!! YOU CAN TAKE THAT 30 MINUTES OF GENOCIDAL INSANITY AND.... wait, what was I talking about again. Oh, right. Anyway, I'll be looking foward to your film as soon as it is shown. Maybe then we will learn whether or not you a( tricked a child into blowing up his school b( reinacted a child blowing up his school c( didn't blow up a school at all d( set fire to a small wooden house with the word "school" on it. I'll be watching.....

I think you need to re-read that "Toy Story 2" review, Nancy. There is
NO sexual innuendo or inappropriate writing re: children in it ANYWHERE.
And you just libeled Knowles AGAIN in your most recent Talk Back. Madam,
you are heading for a libel lawsuit. I'm not joking. Modify your
comments accordingly. A court of law will NOT care how offended you
were; you have gone into a public forum and accused a man of something unfounded and ghastly. Your concerns should have been addressed in a private e-mail to Knowles. Are you utterly daft? (Harry, feel free to delete this post as needed.) -
You're joking right? If not, you're the sort of folks who give decent religious people a bad name! (Not to change the subject, but does anyone know anything about a possible Tsui Hark/Stephen Chow flick? I think we all need to think happy thoughts.)
-
Instead of Planet of the Apes why not do Planet of the Dinosaurs to add a new spin on the old Heston chesnut?

I just came back from your piece of shit site,Johnny and Nancy.You two are jackasses.I thought BEFORE that you two were idiots, but this is worse than I thought.

Parents against Harry Knowles?!? Is this a joke? It's hilarious!
by el duderino
Wow! I mean, you can tell when a parent is sheltering their children a little too much whenever they devote a website against Harry Knowles because their son/daughter went on his site a couple of times. First off, I don't live in austin (I do live in Texas, I'll say that much), so I am not aware if he has any sort of local show there (I doubt it). If this is all about his website, and not some unknown show of his, here's a serious suggestion.... TELL YOUR KID TO NOT GO TO HIS SITE!!! If there is an option to, put a lock on the site so he won't have to be exposed to necrophilia jokes (which, by the way, were hilarious!!). PAHK.com is the funniest thing I have ever seen! I'm sure you two have been to those high school basketball games where some fat, lazy-eyed loudmouth is bad-mouthing all of the players on his child's team (including their child)even when they are giving it their hardest effort. Most people just think "Shut up you jerk! That's the coaches job, you don't need to give them anymore pressure than they already have." Well, putting up a disclaimer is like being a parent for everybody. Let others do their job. People younger than 18 really ARE NOT THAT NAIVE!! Sheltering your kid in hopes that they will never learn a curse word or drink their entire lives is USELESS. U S E L E S S!! Other kids at his school (unless he is homeschooled, to which he will have to get exposed to all of that when he actually moves out) will tell him about this stuff, and all that time of trying to mold your son into the perfect child will be destroyed because of knowledge you tried to keep away from him. This is the reason, right? To prevent other kids from going onto Harry's site so they will someday grow up to be "perfect". Sad truth: If you want the next generation to be alcohal free and curse-word free, the time to start is with YOUR generation. That's how they find out about this stuff, because of YOU. And frankly, that will never happen. Just because you talk behind your child's back about this "sinful" material doesn't mean that all of this will die out along with your generation. The only hope you have is to expose your kid to this early, and to talk about it in hopes of softening the moral blow it will have upon him.

-
This movie is sounding less and less cool to me. Yay, a computer generated Land Before Time! :P The ultimate dinosaur movie (in my mind) would be a mock doc about scientists studying dinos in a Lost World sort of environment, with REALISTIC dinosaurs (i.e. FEATHERS), with REALISTIC behavior (i.e. not every dinosaur tries to kill the humans).
In other news, 'Johnny and Nancy' sound to me like a couple of 13 year olds goofing off in a chat room, getting a kick out of playing make believe adults and probably laughing at poop jokes. I hope they get beat up in High Scool :)
Later. -
I know,it's a little silly,but I had to come up with it on the spot and my sense of humor is a wee bit strange.

by el duderino
If you want to find a review for a movie, this definately isn't the site for them. Dark Horizons has the best reviews, mainly because it warns of spoilers. It's now on the IGN network I think, so log onto there. The Disclaimer talk is not going to follow through. Read any of our posts when it comes to Orgazmo and South Park:BLU and the whole MPAA mess and you will see that it won't happen on this site. As for the child-sheltering comment, I can see that you want them to grow up right and now screwed up, and if they are especially young I can see where your ideas come from. You'd be surprised how soon kids get exposed to this. First Grade is not uncommon. I'm NOT JOKING GUYS. It's funny, it really is, but that's also the truth. If you want to ensure that they will grow up a good person (BTW, you can't treat a child like clay, because they aren't just "molded"), talk to them about it and set some ground rules I guess. My thoughts will probably change over time, considering I'm only in Highschool, but I think that's the best way. If you can prevent your kid (by the way, I'm going to go insane if I right "kid" or "child" one more time) from video games and movies, then there is no reason to put a ban or disclaimer on something unless you are just too lazy or are relying on enertainment to raise your... uh... you know.
-
Aren't jokes supposed to funny, Nancy-pants?
-
Though it may fall under libel, rather than slander as libel is written and slander is said. Fortunately, I didn't see the original "joke" site or else I would have been more pissed and defending Harry more right now. The legitimacy of a libel suit would depend on state laws and how those laws deal with the Internet, as well as how bad and for how long the libelous content of that site was up. And for anyone who let's a nine-year-old kid come on THIS site by himself...you need to brush up on your parenting skills.

Regardless, great site. And Johnny and Nancy........Bad, BAD judgement. It's like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Don't try to hide behind the first amendment. You guys apparently let your brains go on permanent vacation for this little prank...it's not exactly something someone finds funny.

As I have a morbid sense of curiosity, could somebody fill me in on what I missed?
-
That pathetic little stunt is just a mere glimpse at what may possibly happen in the future when Harry becomes even more mainstream with his television show. I have images of protestors setting up their own little REAL sites asking for Harry to put a disclaimer on there or for his show to be cancelled or the site to be taken off the Internet. (Not that Harry would comply, I'm sure.) There's too many people protesting things like art with dung incorporated into it as a cultural homage to the Virgin Mary. And they're all with the MPAA.

Reflections on endlessly scrolling linguistic fireworks...
by alexandra dupont
Actually, I rather doubt Knowles is going to remove your post so it will
be readable again, "user id indeed." Suppose someone had accused you (even as a 'prank') of molesting children. Would YOU go out of your way to make that readable to an estimated one and a half million daily readers? It's too bad. This really WAS a Talk Back for the books. We turned those
pranksters (or were they?) into dribbling buffoons. -
Do you know why???? Because Harry shoved his middle finger up Talk Back's ass a long time ago. He's too good for Talk back now... He doesn't monitor it and he certainly doesn't post in it. The only fucking asshole monitoring this shit is Father "Gestapo" Geek. So the rather funny punchline of this great big wasteful john and nancy "slander fiasco" is that NOTHING will come of it because Harry has no idea what goes on in these Talk Backs, nor does he care in the least.

Reflections on the 'pranksters' and Talk Back's response...
by alexandra dupont
Actually, I suspected that "John and Nancy" might be pranking us, but that, to me, wasn't the issue: The issue was one of libelous statements.
Whether the sort of statements the writer made were in jest or not doesn't really matter -- they were still WAY out of line. Accusations of
pedophilia just aren't joke fodder, and I personally hope Knowles scares
the shit out of "John and Nancy" with a lawyer. -
Actually my friend... I do monitor and read my Talk Backs... and do give a shit. And while you may wish my extended middle finger was in your ass... I need it to type "e,d,c,i,k,,," as well as "#,3,8,*,9,( and <" And do not wish to have brown marks on my keyboard. As for "Pranksters" that wish to defame me on my site... With alleging comments like they made... "BAN" About 4 keystrokes and then they have to get a new alias... passwords... and more effort.... 4 Keystrokes... and hell, I don't even have to do it. Moriarity can, Father Geek can, Sister Satan can, Robogeek can, Paul Alvarado Dykstra Can and even El Cosmico can get on the BAN-wagon. However, in the immortal words of Jim "BLACK BELT JONES" Kelly.... "Don't Waste My Time With It" Love and Kisses.... Harry
-
Harry's intro refers to "pre-talking sequences" which implies the movie has talking sequences.
-
I think the movie would be much better without talking dinos, but I can see where Disney is coming from.
First is financial reasons, which I'm sure everyone has thought of by now. Disney doesn't want to alienate anybody that is possibly a paying customer. You might be asking yourself how that would alienate anybody, and that dovetails into my second reason.
Movies that are too far removed from a sense of reality don't tend to do well at the box office. People might feel that a film about dino's that don't talk is just a glorified documentary, and avoid it because of that. Remember "The Dark Crystal"? A truly great film that many people loved. But it bombed at the box office because even more people couldn't accept a film that had no actual people in it. Which was the main reason that human actors were put in "Labyrinth".
And lastly, you have to remember that Disney is making films like this for it's target audience. That's *us* right? Well.... no. We forget art times that we've grown up, were not kids anymore..... and Disney makes these films for kids.

Scratch That: Dinosaur Will be The Jewish Mother of All Movies
by otaku73
Yes, indeed. The analogy goes like this...
The movie will be lauded and ass-kissed by by every entertainment show under the sun (our girls are like L'il Miss EZ-bake Ovens; (fun and easy) or, at least all the ones I've ever met, EVER, and that includes reform Talmud studies)
And then, they get a ring...
Or, in the case of the movies, it comes out, does above-median, and then it gets bashed by the critics. Come on, realistic looking dinosaurs that talk? That only works when the animal is cartoony, otherwise you get Black Beauty and other such poo. Not to mention the anatomical problems...
Aw, drats. I had a really funny title line and the rest was just trying to explain it and cover it up and make sure it made sense, and it really didn't. Jesus, I'm comparing the weekend gross of an animated film to my mother and her friends, and an awful stereotype that, sadly, holds very, very true with them and half the girlsfriends I've had, and I hope none of them are mothers yet. And gawd demmit, I shouldn't have to do that. That's not the kind of world I want to live in. I should just be able to post that title line and be flamed mercilessly, as that is the natural order of things. -

You have to look at it this way though; I was trying to empower you by saying that you were essentially "too good" for Talk Back, because I honestly believe everyone in Talk Back is a no-life loser anyway.... come on... ya gotta admit, none of us have any real lives! If you post here, you admit to being a loser!! PS: Yeah Alexandra, ya see I wasn't banned. it's just that my "quentin2" e-mail address was terminated, and I want to be able to read any mail I get so.... Someone took "quentin3" already, and I was going to name myself "quentin4", but I decided to go for something LaneMyers-ish instead.

Since I'm part of a big legacy here at AICN,I feel it's my duty to post one last message in the historic TalkBack.Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.Anyhoo,I'm glad my old message was deleted(for you futuristic AICN readers reading this from the Archives,I accidentally wrote a message that ran-on and screwed up the format.My Bad 3:Revenge of My Bad) and now we can look back on this board with fading interst and our sights set on Jurassic Park 3,Hannibal and,of course,Chicken Run.Just thought I'd like to post one last post.I was the first one to post here(FYI,above-mentioned AICN readers,I had the first post on this board but for some reason Harry deleted it.I was furious,and I called him a fat shit,but I take it all back after he deleted my screwed-up message.Go Harry!!)and now I'm the last.Unless somebody posts after me.Ooo,I hope not.

Back in your day?You mean last year.Give us a break,quentin2 or 12 or 75 or whoever you think you are.I wouldn't be surprised if you were,like,12 years old.And now I'M last.If you post another post,tryin' to be all last and whatnot,I'll post after you,and so on.Can't win,chief.Oh,and also,nobody says motherfucker anymore.Cocksucker,yes.Cumeater, sure.Pigfucker,horsefucker,etc are also heard on and off.Ex.:You are a cocksucking,cumeating pigfucker and nobody listens to you.(To future AICN readers,I usually don't use language like this,but in cases like this it's a must).
