Triassic Attack

2010. A sheriff must save his town when dinosaur skeletons come back to like. Starring: Steven Brand, Raoul Trjillo. From Unknown.

Syfy Saturday Movie from 11/27.

Hmmm. This sheriff's uniform looks really familiar. Could be something to do with the fact that this movie is directed by Colin Ferguson? You know, that Colin Ferguson. Quite possibly the best sheriff ever. Sheriff Jack Carter.

Methinks this movie could be better if Colin Ferguson was the one wearing that sheriff uniform. Although, from certain angles, in poor light, he does look like Carter.

Divorced sheriff, rebellious daughter, tan uniform, Oregon... Herr Doktor Sheriff Ferguson seems to be directing what he knows... Hoping for significantly more snark.

And yes, in my mind, I am pretending that this Sheriff guy is in fact Colin Ferguson.

Also, in other news, why are there dinosaur bones at a Native American Museum. If I'd cared enough, I'd rewind to the part of the movie when the guy walked by the sign, but rest assured, the name of the movie is something do do with Indians or Native Americans.

Sadly, the deputy is some dude. And does not have nearly as big guns. And that's not a double entendre.

And the Sheriff's daughter's boyfriend is potentially named "Pants". Which endears him to me. But his douchebaggery doesn't.

Also, just realized that the sheriff drives a Jeep as his sheriffin' mobile. Sadly not a Cherokee, though.

And that was in fact a terrible plan. Too complicated to describe properly, but it was pretty terrible. Probably should have just gone through the door before you closed it. And then you wouldn't have had to take fate into your own hands with the ladder...

Also, now they're calling in the army... cadets... This can only go well...

So, a dude figures out that the dinosaurs don't like eating things coated in poop. So, naturally he coats himself.

Anyways, later, he saves a kid by hiding in a trash can.
Kid: You stink!
Poop guy: It's poop!
*wipes arm on kid's shirt*

Thank you Sheriff Carter. Although you didn't write that particular line, I'm still giving you credit for it...

Also, everyone in this movie seems to be foreign. Because they keep randomly lapsing into accents. For example the Sheriff is a Scottish actor, and at random points in time, you can tell. At others, he pulls off the American accent pretty well...

And not-Jo just got tail whipped by a skeletor T-rex. Or actually, a skeletor T-Rex Pteranadon Raptor hybrid thing... Screw all these people. Sorry, faux sheriff Carter, but I'm rooting for the flying T-Rex skeleton.

I just cracked up at the thought of the auditions for the main character. Colin Ferguson's just sitting there... "Nope, doesn't look like me. Nope, him either. Nope. HEY! I've found my lead! Who gives a damn if he can act, he looks pretty similar to me!"

I would be okay with that. Colin Ferguson is a rather foxy man. Not Col. Jack O'Neill foxy, but foxy.
