    Harrumph. This is utter Fail.

    Please note the canteen strap on the soldier's left shoulder in the last photo. Not consistent of the period AT ALL. I refuse to patronize any "historical" exhibit that displays such glaring inaccuracies.

    Oh boy, is this another "someone really wishes the south won" things? You know, where they actually call the Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression?"


    Either way, it's pretty damned hilarious. I would pay money to watch a reenactment of velociraptors burning a path through the south under Sherman's command. :D

    I would love to see this...


    It does remind me of the movie Valley of the Gwangi, which had the tagline "Cowboys Battle Monsters in the Lost World of Forbidden Valley."


    If you aren't sure whether you want to see the movie, two words: RAY HARRYHAUSEN.

    Wow, I gotta go see Civil Warosaurus. This totally trumps the weird inclusion of Medieval Knights in the Dino Land near Palm Springs that I visted recently.

    I actually think this is somehow more awesome, and I can't say why.

    @Evdor: There were only one or two Knights, the massive dioramas for the Civil War are what make me hand it over to the Grey and the Blue. But thanks.

    For a second I thought that this was a new exhibit at the Creationist Museum.

    @kelz: I second that thought. I'd almost be okay with the Creationist Museum if it defined itself as "speculative fiction."

    @YourTechSupport: Might be a good movie, but it could never be a Sci-Fi original Movie. The only plots that Sci-Fi accepts are the most derivative, unoriginal ideas filled with as many cliches as possible. This idea would take far too long to butcher.

    My favorite is the man of epic upper body strength casually supporting himself from the trees with rags while the leggy damsel around his middle hangs dangerously close to a amputation by T-Rex.
