This sprawling epic is as lively as a natural history museum diorama. Beware the woolly mammoth!
  • Not my favored lifestyle.

    I'm prejudiced in favor of indoor plumbing and a gadget that keeps the rain and snow off myself, even if the predators are a lot less tame these days. In modern times it be might be tough getting a real person on the phone, but think about it, mammoths and sabertooths didn't even have phones. Really. All too true. No conception of customer service at all. I wouldn't lie to you about that.

    My perception was that women back then were more scantily clad, childbearingly fit, and totally eager, rather than merely trim and heroic, in a backwards kind of way. Even though nobody knows what a hot sweaty woman has smelled like since the eight millenium BC, I'd really prefer to hold off until agricultural and adverbial clauses are invented, given a choice.

    1,000,000 BC with Raquel Welch was better. You call this progress? Sheesh.

    All my illusions favoring the Noble Savage have been shattered. Now I'm depressed. Thanks a lot.
