Film Review (sorta): Prehistoric Peeps (1905)
Not only is this the very first dinosaur movie (as far as we know, since most films from this period are lost) but since it's adapted from Edward Tennyson Reed's comic strip in Punch Magazine, it's also (one supposes) the very first comic book movie as well. But alas, the film is unwatchable by most people. You see, the film is preserved at the British Film Institute in London (or at least most of it is - parts are still considered lost) but that preserved copy is nowhere on the internet nor can it be found on any form of home media. The only place one can see the film is in the film library at the BFi in London. I personally live an ocean away from this film library, so i'm outta luck - as are anyone not living or visiting in or around London. There is a copy online though. It is obviously from someone sneaking a video of the computer screen with their phone - and not doing a very good job of it. Then again, if the BFi caught them doing this, i believe that's punis...
