Luckily, her step-mom is a giant dinosaur that kind of keeps an eye on her. We watched this for our final FNF of the season, and I figured I should say something about it, but... I don't have a lot to say. Woody Allen once said, "The worst orgasm I ever had was right on the money," and the worst gorgeous-babes-in-skimpy-fur-bikinis-battling-animated-monsters movie is still pretty good to THIS reviewer. The whole thing is cheap (too cheap for Harryhausen; Jim Danforth does the animation, and it's good, although the screen-process shots are cheesy and there's plenty of stock footage from the early '60s version of The Lost World to pad things out) but fun. The entire dialog is spoken in caveman language, and they say the same three words a lot. It's a new DVD from Warners, a Best Buy exclusive that pairs it with, as I recall, Moon Zero Two, whatever th' hell THAT is.

They say it so often that when it was over (this is a true story) we started it again with the subtitles on and began to count the frequency of the word. We gave up screaming in laughter, and decided that we'd watch the film again sometime and make a "they say akeeta, you take a drink" game. We'll all die of alcohol poisoning.
