Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Kron the Iguanadon on October 30, 2011, 06:58:23 PM
Hello! My name is Kron the Iguanadon, named after my favorite character in the Disney film "Dinosaur", even if he was a bad guy. Do I cry when Kron dies? Maybe if I was the crying kind of ghuy, but I'm not. Anyways, I'm so happy to be here on this Land Before Time dedicated site. I loved these movies as a kid but only got into them again this year! My favorite seuqles are 2, 3, and 4. I really like how you have the picture of the gang and the baby longnecks from the number "No one has to be alone" as the site heading. Good choice, I love that song! Anyways I'd like to know one thing, though. How can I take a screenshot from a film so I can use it as my avatar, in a post, or something of the sort? Much appreciated!

I remember seeing that movie, though it's been a while.

Welcome with us Kron :)
It looks like your Avatar is working out by now. I too like the Disney movie Dinosaur though I think that in some parts they might have improved it. Looking at the bonus materials of the DvDs (I got a 2 DvD edition with additional bonus materials) I am a bit under the impression that they made the movie before they decided which among many alternative stories they were to tell (there are for example cut scenes involving grandparents of Aladar (who in those scenes is called Noah), respectively a brother) and perhaps it would have been better the other way round.
I like the music a lot though.
Anyway, please feel hearty invited to join our discussions or start threads of your own :yes

Welcome to the forum!  :wave
What is it you want a screenshot of? You could always use the free version of Fraps.
And Kron wasn't a bad guy. He was an antagonist, but definitely not a bad guy. He was just misguided.
But anyways, again, welcome the forum.  :smile

Strike what I said before, though. Bruton was my faovirte character. Can I change my name to bruton the igunanadon? I hope you'll understand if I due. If not (cue Bryan Adams music) PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

I changed the name. So long the community hasn't grown too used to one name for a member I don't suppose it will be a problem.

Hi Kron, or should I say Bruton... I'll call you Bruton. Seems like you already have found your way around the forum, enlighting us with many delightful new ideas and posts to discuss. I remember watching Dinosaur and liking it, I still got it on VHS.

I'm Mumbling/Iris. Welcome to the Gang of Five :wave :)

Hey Bruton  :D  I liked Disney's Dinosaur as well, but it's been ages since I've seen it. Wasn't there a lemur who was Aladar's best friend who's name began with a Z? I remember he was my favourite character  :)

I haven't seen that movie in a long time either. Hmm, I don't remember much from that movie either. Should probably give if another viewing sometime.

That brings up something interesting. I hear from a lot of people that they've seen the movie, but that they can't remember much from it. Kinda strange. :/

bY THE WAY IS IT JUST me or did Kron totally sound like Scar from lion king? (They both even used the same move of throwing sand in their oppoents eyes i think)

By the way bushwhacked is that Scar on your avatar picture? What happened to him?

Nah, it's Nuka, Scar's son from the second film. I'm not really a fan of the film itself, but I like Nuka's character.

And you're right, Kron does remind me of Scar. Mostly I think it's his expressions and the way he moves when he talks.

Scar had a girlfriend?! Wait, was she the villian of movie 2?
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Mumbling on November 02, 2011, 02:08:55 AM
Nah... I think Nuka was a bastard, the villain of the movie would be Scar's family but not his girlfriend, because that would mean incest.
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: bushwacked on November 02, 2011, 08:49:53 AM
Yeah, Zira was the villain of the second film. She'd been Scar's mate at some point, and I think Nuka and that other younger female lionesse were their kids.

What would be incest, Mumbling? Because I might be remembering the film all wrong  :unsure:

In early production, Zira was originally going to be Scar's mate. Because this would cause incest between her son, Kovu, and Scar's niece and Simba's daughter, Kiara, this was removed.

Post by: bushwacked on November 02, 2011, 07:04:01 PM
I think they just changed the part about Kovu being Scar's son as well - at the start, Nuka says Scar and Kovu aren't related. That way there's no incest, even though it is a bit weird if you think about it.

Post by: Paradise Bird on November 03, 2011, 03:38:31 AM
erm what is incest
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Malte279 on November 03, 2011, 03:56:33 AM
That would be sexual intercourse between close relatives. Most often and it is refered to in case of siblings doing it.
The legal definitions vary in countries about the status of relationships between first degree cousins and some sociologists claim that throughout history marriages between first degree cousins were so common that for some time they may have been the majority (Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Franklin D. Roosevelt are famous examples of people who married first cousins). There is a Simpson episode in which they make fun of this by claiming for the mutual enmity of Springfield and Shelbyville to be based on different views on this :rolleyes:

Don't forget the Ancient Egyptian Pharoahs, which I read and heard often married their siblings.  Though I'm far from a history expert.

I've got a question: how do I copy a frame out of a video and post it? People do it all the time here but I don't know how.
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: vonboy on November 08, 2011, 12:07:30 PM
What I do is press the "Prt Scr/ Print Screen" button on my keyboard, paste the image in mspaint, and save it. Then I upload that image on a photo sharing site, like photobucket.
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on December 02, 2011, 08:14:32 PM
Okay, I did that, put it in paint (had to crop it down casue I didn't just copy the screen of the video but the screen of the whole webpage), saved it, and copied it,  and went to tinypic, where i can upload it for free. the problem? It won't let me paste. So what do I do now?
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Justin1993 on December 02, 2011, 08:59:44 PM
What do you mean it won't let you paste? As soon as it's done uploading, you copy the IMG code and paste it in your topic. When the picture uploads it gives you a small view of the picture and on the left there are options to share the image. You copy what's under the heading "IMG code for Forums and Message Boards."

Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on December 02, 2011, 10:27:16 PM
Well, I have it in pictures, I go into pictures, I copy it, I get to tinypic, I click on the right mouse button...and the paste button won't work. What do I do?!
Title: Hi! I'm new here! So, about me...
Post by: Justin1993 on December 02, 2011, 10:32:21 PM
I think you misread the first step in the process, or I may not have worded them clearly.
You go to tinypic first. There is a box next to the word "File:"
Click the "Browse..." button and it will open a window that says "File upload" at the top. Browse through your files until you find the one, hit upload now, fill in captcha, and hit upload now again.
You don't copy and paste the file to tinypic.  :smile
