When we go to the multiplex and shell out $85 for a ticket and popcorn, the movie should teach us stuff we can use. Like, that this animatronic Tyrannosaurus in a show premiering this week is a bad idea.
Haven’t these guys ever seen a movie? Don’t they know that by tonight their top parts will be one place, and their bottom parts someplace else? No, I guess first they have to scoff at warnings, and explain that an animatronic dinosaur could NEVER turn against people.
Right. Even though the name Tyrannosaurus translates to “You sure look juicy to me,” we have to play this tiresome game and keep the lights down low, all the better to see the flashing teeth and grinding jaws.
PLEASE, people! If movies didn’t contain valuable life lessons, it wouldn’t cost so much to see them!

To make a prophylactic comment: This is the Oddly Enough blog, not the Oddly Enough news. If you want the “Oddly Enough” news: http://www.reuters.com/news/oddlyEnough
Look at the vertical bar on the left side of the screen. Click on “Oddly Enough” under “News.”
This is “Oddly Enough” under “Blogs.”
For some strange reason, Google appears to be directing those looking for Oddly Enough news to the blog.
If you want to object that the format has changed, it hasn’t. Your objection is premature.

- Posted by GeeLouSo, does an animatronic T-Rex have animatronic testicles? Maybe some hefty truck balls would make him feel more manly? just a thought.
