Tom & Dinosaur Hand Review!

Movies, and more Movies!

Tom: Hey, Dinosaur Hand, how are you enjoying this snowy January. Oops, doorbell. Hold on a sec, be right back.

Dinosaur Hand: Ho there, he’s gone! Come here Frankie, we’ll do this without him.

Frankenfinger: Yubbajobba! Potato Chip, pork chop.

D.H: First let’s throw out the mamby pamby feel-good stuff, like Green Card. We know he loved it!  So what.
Frankenfinger: Sweet potato fries.
D.H: I say we review some of these awesome science fiction slash fantasy movies. You know, stuff not Oscar-worthy with no redeeming values! What say you, my fine bloody finger friend?
Frankenfinger: Voondervah, don’t burn da wieners!

D.H: First up, an old fantasy from the mid 80’s with Tom Cruise and unicorns and a big ugly demon and fairies and weird impish dudes. Tom said he’d never seen Legend, wanted to know what it was all about.

goofy, impy critters

Frankenfinger: All about poop. Poopy poop, in fact. Me want Cheeto.
D.H: Yes, and very dated and not too good. A Wrinkle in Time was a much-anticipated adaptation of an old kid’s book. It was just okay. Good to see Oprah up and around, eh?
Frankenfinger: OAI! ‘Nuf said.
D.H: I don’t know what that even means. You probably liked Isle of Dogs, didn’t you Frankie? I thought it was mostly stupid, but hey, you can like it, because you know, dogs poop a lot.
Frankenfinger: Sir Poopsalot, that’s my poopy dog!
D.H: And a good one too. Wes Anderson needs to climb out of his goofy pit and join the real world. Blah blah blah. Well, here’s one I did like, it was definitely strange and ultimately apocalyptic. The movie I refer to is… The Lobster! Who knew? This flick was everything but normal.
Frankenfinger: Uh, sure. Me wanna be finger lickin’ chicken. Snarf narf narf. Nom!
D.H: Go on, you nutty bent digit. I don’t know what to say about Under The Skin. There are no words. Oy. Not S. J.’s worst effort, but WTF?

Frankenfinger: Needs more popcorn, an’ butter. OAI! Too much! Gimmie itches in me stitches.
D.H: Again with that acronym! Whatsit? We’ll do one more, before that sappy Tom comes back and wants to review something maudlin, like Benji and Lassie have lunch with Flipper. Gah! I really liked this last one, How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Awesome flick. We gravitated towards it, because it was labeled as science fiction, which I guess it was, kind of.

Who in the hell is Alex Sharp, and why does Nicole look like David Bowie?!

Frankenfinger: Truly, truly OAIs. Where da Whoppers?
D.H: Good night Nellie, enough! What is this OAI shit anyway? Spill it, Frankie.
Frankenfinger: Outrageous Alien Interaction, of course, doofusaur!

D.H: Ah, I get that. This movie was somewhat of a mishmash, but I liked the punk aspect of it, which Tom probably hated. It was sort of a combination of CBGB and ET meets The Munsters. Maybe, don’t know. There was a bicycle at least.  What’s your opinion, Frank?
Frankenfinger: Is there a Coke here anywhere? Me don’t even like movies.
Tom: Okay guys, back atya. It’s go time. 
Tom: Um, what’d I miss?

Wish List for 2019

It's a new year, and like usual I am desperate to be out in the wild, tramping around in the woods and streams of Indiana, and farther away places too. Here are a few locales on my Wish List for this year. Some I will probably get to, others, maybe, and still others... not a chance. Let's go!

Charleston State Park, on the Ohio River, north of Louisville. There are many great parks in Southern Indiana. This could be part of a grand tour, and some good rugged hiking.

O'Bannon Woods State Park, also on the Ohio, but further West nearer to the Hoosier National Forest, and by Corydon, Indiana, the first State Capital of Indiana. Part 2 of the southern state park tour? Also they have a fire tower, so it's a must see!

Red River Gorge, in Kentucky. 

On my list from 2018 is the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway. Full of great points of interest, arches, hiking, and who-knows-what-all. I see this as a week long trip. It's abut 5 or 6 hours from home. A sprained ankle kept me from visiting last year. Hopefully 2019 will be injury and sickness free.

Starved Rock State Park is in Illinois, west of Chicago. Beautiful. Matthiessen State Park is near it, and said to be just as, if not more, gorgeous. Definitely on the list, and not tooo far from here.

Letchworth or Watkins Glen in New York. Look at that. Letchworth is described as the Grand Canyon of the East, and voted best park in New York. At over 8 hours away, it's a big drive, but gotta be worth it. Just east of the finger lakes. There will be a lot to see and do in the area besides looking at scenic views and hiking, but WHO CARES!

Guess where? Mountains, the ocean, jungles and Sloths! It's Costa Rica! Will we get there in 2019? No, not unless momma wins the lottery. Those clouds look like dreams waiting to happen.
