That would be the lost world where the t-rex was able to eat everyone on the boat, including not damaging the main cabin at all while it eat whoever was steering (leaving just a hand on the wheel) and luckily chose to go back to the hold just as the last person died so the last guy could shut it back in.
Then it escapes into the city, where only the two protagonists appear to be able to track it.
It smashes down a wall, drinks from a swimming pool, roars, eats a dog and the kid says to his parents 'there's a dinosaur on the lawn'.
Becuase the parents haven't been woken up by any of that.
I really liked the part when the police turn up to get involved and it roars at them and they all run away - including the dog pound van at the back
I might moan, but I still liked that film.

However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.

Yeah. Reading about del Toro's attempts to get At the Mountains of Madness made, and basically it came down to the studio saying 'you can have the money to make this properly, or you can have the R rating needed to make it good.' Basically the studio thought that there was no way they could make a profit on a big budget, are rated horror movie.
Then Prometheus came along, sucked, and any hope of getting a tent pole, and the hopes of anything like del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness being made basically disappeared for the forseeable future.

On the positive, with the disaster of multiple tentpoles and several half decent lower budget horror movies, we may see more mid level stuff. I know, no way, but a man can dream.
OT, but what about Mountains of Madness would require a big budget?

Too bad we have to wait a long time before we get any real information.... sigh. I hope it is like #2 in that the story is on a larger scale. I much prefered watching ingen get picked apart rather than a story focused on a group of 5 people wandering around a jungle.

I'm similarly optimistic. It seems pretty clear now that spending lots of money doesn't really reduce the risk of the project, and even 200 million films can disappear with barely an impact on the box office these days. So maybe we might go back to a more adventurous Hollywood, that looks to negate risk by making a lot of films, and not investing too much in any one of them?
Yeah, maybe we're both dreaming
OT, but what about Mountains of Madness would require a big budget?
I don't think it was anything specific to in the Mountains of Madness, more about the kind of horror movie that del Toro wanted to make. His main point of reference was The Shining, which from a straight reading of the script really could have been made for about $9 (the telemovie version made in the 90s probably cost less than that)... but The Shining was great in large part because it was a big production, which allowed Kubrik to attract top talent and class it up with wonderful sets and everything else. del Toro wanted to make a tent pole horror movie in the same way.

Insects preserved in copal, the sub-fossilized resin precursor of amber, have potential value in molecular ecological studies of recently-extinct species and of extant species that have never been collected as living specimens. The objective of the work reported in this paper was therefore to determine if ancient DNA is present in insects preserved in copal. We prepared DNA libraries from two stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini: Trigonisca ameliae) preserved in ‘Anthropocene’ Colombian copal, dated to ‘post-Bomb’ and 10,612±62 cal yr BP, respectively, and obtained sequence reads using the GS Junior 454 System. Read numbers were low, but were significantly higher for DNA extracts prepared from crushed insects compared with extracts obtained by a non-destructive method. The younger specimen yielded sequence reads up to 535 nucleotides in length, but searches of these sequences against the nucleotide database revealed very few significant matches. None of these hits was to stingless bees though one read of 97 nucleotides aligned with two non-contiguous segments of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene of the East Asia bumblebee Bombus hypocrita. The most significant hit was for 452 nucleotides of a 470-nucleotide read that aligned with part of the genome of the root-nodulating bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The other significant hits were to proteobacteria and an actinomycete. Searches directed specifically at Apidae nucleotide sequences only gave short and insignificant alignments. All of the reads from the older specimen appeared to be artefacts. We were therefore unable to obtain any convincing evidence for the preservation of ancient DNA in either of the two copal inclusions that we studied, and conclude that DNA is not preserved in this type of material. Our results raise further doubts about claims of DNA extraction from fossil insects in amber, many millions of years older than copal.
Sorry to piss on your chips there !

The feathers of Archaeopteryx lithographica fossils are preserved as exquisitely detailed impressions. It isn’t possible to determine their colour as there are no actual feather tissues preserved. But recent work on feathers preserved in Chinese dinobird specimens (small feathered dinosaurs) suggests that colours were predominantly black and ginger.
In January 2012, researchers from Brown University in America published a study on the isolated feather generally attributed to Archaeopteryx. According to their analysis of fossilised colour-producing structures called melanosomes, this feather would have been black. However, it is possible that it actually belonged to a different species.
