Not really directly answering the question, but there are movies I think have bad scripts that I like anyway
kyle@Caol_MacCormaic19h
this makes me wonder what the best movie with the worst script is. I guess without reading it you can't know for sure but it's an interesting question

I shoutout Frederick Spindler literally every time one of these comes up but if I have to pick one piece specifically probably this one:

Starting this up again! Name a piece of paleoart that had a large impact on you. This piece, by Douglas Henderson, showing a Rutiodon startling some Fadrosaurus, lives rent free in my head. The masterful use of light and dark totally stunned me as a child.

Polaris is "only" about 50 million years old. The non-avian dinosaurs were already extinct and the earliest horses, whales, primates, had appeared or began to appear when it formed (depending on if it was formed earlier or later in its estimated range of 60-45mya).

i think the mass extinction of the dinosaurs is the highest recorded ratio of birds killed with one stone.

I was enamered with Oharai's Godzilla pieces when I was a kid and I still love them. I would genuinely hang prints of these in my apartment

Now what if I told you that this bug’s closest relatives were elephants, manatees, and aardvarks?

being a 30 year old guy who loves nathan fielder is so life affirming. it’s like when I give my cat a churu and he goes crazy. like it’s so beautiful that someone out there makes something for you and you enjoy it exactly as much as you’re supposed to

What happened to Taika Waititi? I know it is fashionable to pretend a director was never good once they start putting out subpar work, but Boy, Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do in the Shadows are all genuinely great

the worst thing is it used to be $15. Then it was $25, and now its $35
𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧★@olivvrsznOct 14
Being an adult means that every few days, you have to spend at least $35. Even if you don’t think you need anything, the universe will manifest something for you to spend $35 on. All must pay.

This is quite possibly the worst endpoint of these fossil auctions. Fossils are no longer valued by their "completeness" at the market but by how much a buyer can steal information from the scientific community. These auctions are a rot on our society and should be banned.
