They contain very minor spoilers. I came into this movie with mixed feelings. The Michael Bay films turned me off of Transformers for over a decade. The BumbleBee movie reignited my love of the franchise. The promotional materials for Rise of the Beasts were a clusterfuck. The producer claims it's a prequel to the Bayverse, while the director says it's a reboot. » Continue Reading
Just as the new animated movie is about to arrive. I was hit with a wave of nostalgia for the original film. It's ugly, bizarre, and misunderstood. And I loved every minute of this movie growing up. I remember being so excited about the movie when I saw the first poster at a bus stop. Then I saw the commercial and found out it would have dinosaurs in it! It's everything a kid like me would want. I... » Continue Reading
Ok, back for another episode. This one is more goofy fun than the last one. This one focuses more on Parm (Sir Ebrum) and Memu (Lady Like). It's time for the Parm and Memu centric episode. They're always a fun couple. It's their wedding anniversary. Parm is nervous because he's never given his wife a ring on their wedding day. He was so nervous that he ended up dropping the ring on their special d... » Continue Reading
Been a while, but let's get back into it! This is not one of my favorite episodes. It's just weird and awkward, but I think it's definitely intentional. The episode is about Kine the fish falling in love with Fumu (Tiff) and wanting her to be his girlfriend. Fumu is shocked and refuses because she lives on the land and Kine lives in the sea. While this is » Continue Reading
There's a recent paper published dispelling a long-held belief (myth?) that Diplodocid sauropods such as Apatosaurus and Diplodocus used their long whip-like tails as whips! Okay, this doesn't sound that outlandish, what always got me questioning this even as a child is the part where the tails act like whips creating cracking sounds (mini s » Continue Reading
I start today's blog after just finding out ANOTHER Tyrannosaurus skull will be lost to an auction on December 9th. Fuck! This is the second skull we know that'll be lost to science. Here's the thing though, supporters of the commercialization of fossils often argue that if commercial dealers don't dig them up, the fossils will just rot away and be destroye » Continue Reading
Ok, I've been putting this off for 8 months, but it's time to talk about episode 15 of Hoshi no Kaabii or Kirby Right Back At Ya! Pet Peeves. Look, this episode was really hard to watch, and I had to watch the sub and dub. I know for a fact that this episode traumatized some kids when it aired. I was already an adult when it aired and I barely held off the tears. But wait, it gets better! Just 5 f... » Continue Reading
Here's an article about an upcoming dinosaur fossil auction happening in Asia. While experts in the article say it's bad, the article doesn't actually elaborate with enough details. First and foremost, museums are poor. They don't have the funds to compete with your million or even billionaires when it comes to buying this st » Continue Reading
First of all, the original article is in Swedish, and the details are acquired using google translate so what I'm about to write might not be 100% accurate, but the general gist of it shouldn't be too far off, especially the data. So according to folks who translated the original article , the first footprints of a lar » Continue Reading

I think it looks good overall. The back might be a bit puffy, and I'm not talking about the kibble. I feel like maybe it could have collapsed a little more to create a more "finished" look if that makes sense. But who knows, maybe that's actually show accurate. Looking at the parts, it doesn't seem too complicated to transform. I hope I don't have to eat my wor » Continue Reading
Wholesome Death Note is how I would sum up Ya Boy Kongming after watching 3 episodes. And I'm here for it! I'm so glad that Kongming also isn't just rehashing a stratagem in modern day every episode. This episode he uses new tricks to get people to notice Eiko. Not only that, but he really plans ahead. It doesn't feel like a cheap knock off » Continue Reading
