Awesome Dinosaurs Update

On Sunday I saw the 1926 Howard Hawks film Fig Leaves . I'll publish a full review in the roundup at the end of the month, but I couldn't wait to mention the dinosaurs! This movie (briefly) features two very cool-looking puppet dinosaurs. There's Adam's pet Apatosaurus, named Dobbin:



Exactly as depicted in Genesis 2.

More amazingly, there's also a budget-busting life-sized Triceratops that pulls a bus!



Awesome! Not gonna spoil the review, but the first reel of this movie used all the good Flintstones jokes, thirty-four years before The Flintstones even premiered. Except for the unfortunate bus dinosaur saying "It's a living." in a morose voice. And I'm sure that's just because the joke would be really awkward if you had to do it with title cards.

Never forget.
