Another LOTL-related item from our friends at
Lady, That's My Skull,
this time posted on
flickr. I have a ton of old Starlog
issues, but missed this one somehow. I even remember
seeing thumbnails of all the Starlog covers
in the past, including this one, but never quite
looked at it closely enough to realize that it was
the Lost City and Big Alice on the cover! Click on
the cover image to visit flickr and begin reading. |
I noticed something on page 3 of the article. There
is a photo of the Grumpy stop-motion model with a
figure in the background. The caption on the image
explains, |
|
|
"The man-sized figure in the
background is used to line up the live action with
the stop-motion sequences as they are transferred to
video-tape. The figure is kept in the frame while
the TV cameras line the live action with the filmed
dinosaurs. The model only appears in the first few
feet that are used for this alignment and then is
removed when the live action and film are taped." |
The background figure
looks a lot like the shape of the Altrusian guardian
statue from the episode "Ancient Guardian." Maybe
this make-shift figure was the inspiration for the
script?

Assault on High Bluff
Here is
an awesome piece of art by Ben Mackey! Click the
thumbnail to go to his posting on DeviantART. I like
the 3 crossbow bolts imbedded in Will’s shoulder,
the blood on Rick’s sleeve, the animal look on
Cha-ka’s face. Like a mature version of Land of
the Lost.
Also, check out his
stylized (Mignola-ized?) Sleestak! |

Where Turok Meets the
Land of the Lost
T. lex got a nod in the blog of Rob
Schmidt,
Newspaper Rock - Where Native America Meets
Popular Culture. Rob
comments on my episode study of
"Medicine Man" which features the Nez Perce
character of Lone Wolf (and whom I compare to comic
book character Turok). |

Another Parallel Universe?
Is this another parallel universe version of the
Marshalls? No, just Lost List member (and LOTL
fanatic) Jerry Leighton and daughter Natalie, all
made up as the Marshall patriarch with torch in hand
and his perky daughter Holly for a visit to their
local theater to see the
Land of the Lost
movie! Sweet! Way to go, guys! |

"Careful, honey, there's
Sleestaks everywhere." |
"Come on, Dad! We're going to
miss the movie!" |

Beware of Jared
A Subway restaurant in Santa Monica, CA is being
transformed into the Land of the Lost on Thursday,
May 28, 2009. It's a stunt to promote the opening of

T. rex on the roof, the restaurant will be
fully transformed.
In attendance at the event
will be director Brad Silberling and producers Sid &
Marty Krofft, as well as Sleestak from the film;
Chuck's Zachary Levi. Check out the details
