Pretty sure you are correct about all of the above!

I made a digital painting of some feathered Tyrannosaurs, in an attempt to explore that very issue. I'm nowhere near the level of Hollywood's effects artists, but I think the pros could definitely make them pretty intimidating:

Paleoart - with soundtracks! I'm trying to get better at resurrecting extinct organisms through digital painting, and also trying to get better at creating digital music with Ableton Live. Currently working on an image of Apatosaurus.

My most recent finished piece featured a Velociraptor mongoliensis in the dunes of…

The amount of anti-intellectualism and outright hostility towards scientists that's exhibited in this comments section is pretty amazing.

[Edit] Double post, sorry.

I'd like to add, in response to some of the other comments in this thread, that some pterosaur fossils have…

A new discovery in Siberia was just announced today: The fossils show some remarkable, well-preserved feather-like structures as well as different sizes and shapes of scales on a type of dinosaur that is not part of the lineage that evolved into modern birds. The implications are intriguing - many more types of…

It's an interesting time to be following paleontology (which would be true of any time since its inception, really)! On a related note, I made a digital painting of Tyrannosaurus's arctic relative, Nanuqsaurus, with some speculative-but-possible plumage:

Couldn't agree more! Last Crusade is my personal favorite; so many good lines, entertaining inter-actor chemistry and memorable scenes! (Although the love interest was less interesting...)

Enjoyed the list, but I'm pretty sure the insects alongside the "cockroaches" caption are not actually cockroaches! They look like wingless (maybe immature) giant water bugs to me (Order Hemiptera, Family Belostomatidae), due to the size and position of the eyes, the lack of visible antenna, and most importantly the…
