The flying monsters appreciation thread
These flying monsters in the cave
shareNobody seems to appreciate the flying monsters.
shareThe exploding fire breathing frog is getting all the love.
shareActually, I'd love to see this book adapted to film again. The vast horizonless expanse of timeless Pellucidar can be done today, and we've seen from Jurassic Park on that dinosaurs and smilodon and all of the other prehistoric beasties (such as the flying thipdars and the flying, swimming, malevolently intelligent Mahars) can be given their due.
Granted, any accurate adaptation will be lacking in exploding fire-breathing frogs, but maybe something can be worked in. Perhaps a scene of archery practice could include shooting a frog-shaped target, with a cry of "bullseye!"
And those Mahars...

The subject comes up often enough.
Avatar was the inspired by these books and movies. So it is sort of a remake. Cameron sites these movies as his inspiration, his desire to make those fantasy/sci-fi stories come to life.
Sig, you want a sig, here's a SIG-sauer!
