screencap Friday: what the flick? #64
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
watch it: “Pleo At Sea World 2008”
Instead of a cat video today, you get a dolphin video. This is awesome. Someone took their lifelife baby dinosaur toy to Sea World, and it completely intrigued the dolphins: It’s like the dolphins are falling all over one another to check out the little dino. So cool.

dream cast: (not so) hypothetical ‘Three Stooges’ movie
It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast.
