    I'm trying to figure out the artist's views on dinosaur skin/fur from his blog, how much of it is speculative and what's informed by science. Wish I could find it all summarized in one place. I guess I'm like a decade behind on the state of paleoart.

    The thing with some of people I've been following lately is that they're not afraid to be pretty speculative. Like here, there's no hard evidence of fuzzy adult T-Rexes, but it's seeming like more and more like just about every theropod late Jurassic on is showing up with evidence of feathers, so why not paint it?

    For a long time the refrain was "only draw what the fossils show," so you got reconstructions where the skin looks stretched over muscle and bone.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
