There's nothing more disappointing than a scene popping into my head and the only video is way too long.

Or not available.

The 'long walk speech' from Judge Dredd in particular. I imagine since I'm like the only person that liked the first Judge Dredd movie, there's not reason for anyone else to make the clip.

Terrible film.
I bought 2000AD each week for many years and the film just ruined those great stories. :(

It's part of the "Walking with Dinosaurs" series, about what lived before the dinosaurs.
I love it as it's the era I specialize in.
The land around where I live is CRAZY with dinosaur bones. It happens quite often that Cattle Ranchers are calling up the college because they have found bones in part of their property that is eroding etc. The college often doesn't have enough resources to go and get them all, but that is steadily improving. They used to sell all the "good stuff" to major Museums around the world to increase their own cash flow, but now they're starting to do well enough that the College museum is finally starting to KEEP some good things.

They recently found one of the most complete T-Rex fossils (and supposedly there are only around 50 T-rex fossils in the world to begin with.

The local college museum is keeping the giant fossil -woo hoo! and recently just dedicated a statue of it outside the building...

The second claim to fame of fossils that they are keeping is... "Dee" the second largest Columbian mammoth in North America.
Here's the hobbits again...

The Duke of Devonshire, i think it was, had a visit during World War II from the Ministry of Labour checking on everybody who had a big estate to see if anybody could be released for the war effort. They went to Chatsworth with a stopwatch and a clipboard and checked everybody and eventually had an interview with the Duke and said ;
" Well your Grace, we can understand you need 47 gardeners and 13 under gardeners and that you need grooms and you need chauffeurs and you need upstairs maids and downstairs maids and in-between maids and laundry room maids and still room maids and kitchen maids and nurse maids and house maids and parlour maids and we can understand you need the boy to scrape the mud off the boots and you need the butler and the four footmen and the under-butler, but we wonder if a minor economy might be made? Does your Grace necessarily need two pastry cooks ?"
To which the Duke replied,"Oh, dammit, can't a man have a biscuit ?"
" i mean we're all prepared to make sacrifices to beat the Hun, but I mean, reaallllyyy!!!!!"
This is the best thing I've read! :D

Wow!!!!
Amazing!!
Nice hobbits, too.
I used to work collecting dinosaurs for museums, but I went independent so I could concentrate on the older, less commercial stuff in which i'm really interested.
Points.
