Re: Fiction and Archives



Title: RE: Fiction and Archives

I'm not ashamed to say I watched Dinotopia, also.   I only caught installments one and three, but there was a definit reference to a special volume in the Ancient Library.  Problem is, archives are getting to be so popular anymore, that it doesn't seem unusual for references to pop up in films.   Great fun!!

Shall I be caught dead admitting that I watched all three installments of
"Dinotopia"?  Aw, heck, why not...my inner six-year-old needed to be let out
to play.  :-)

Anyhow, one of the computer-generated characters worked in a facility that
was sometimes called the "Ancient Library" and sometimes called the
"archives."  Its holdings provided key turning points in the tale's plot.

I've seen worse portrayals...is it Friday yet?
