February 5Feb 5 Sauropod tail tapers down to a tiny whiplike tip. I can’t imagine that’s how they were built and such a lack of realism means I’m out. I mean come on.
February 5Feb 5 Popular Post it's amazing that after over 30 years of advancing cinema technology the original JP from 1993 is still the best movie in the series by a shockingly wide margin. Edited February 5Feb 5 by futureman

February 5Feb 5 So an iconic movie, based on an iconic book, has devolved into Fast and Furious-level sequel shlock?

February 6Feb 6 I will need to know what percentage of the movie Johannson spends in that white tank top before deciding whether to see this.

I watched the lost world over the holidays. it’s watchable but nowhere even close to the quality and genius of the original.

February 7Feb 7 Looks kinda like a reboot of the third one. And that dude trapped in the red box is turbofucked. ETA: holy shit I didn’t realize that there have been three Chris Pratt JP films. I couldn’t tell you the plot to any of them.
February 7Feb 7 That one shot where it transitions from animatronic T-Rex to CGI T-Rex is beautiful That scene is still maybe the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in the theater. Probably behind the Empire and Jedi but I was a kid then and probably didn’t fully appreciate it.

You're like 40 minutes into the movie and haven't seen the big bad yet and then this scene happens. Also I wanted to punch that girl in the face so bad for getting that flashlight out.

February 7Feb 7 Some franchises like this, fast and furious, and transformers, i dont understand why people keep watching them that they keep getting made

February 7Feb 7 I never saw Jurassic Park until my early 40s. It came out when I was in college and for some reason I just wasn't drawn to movie about dinosaurs, even though I was a HUGE Spielberg fan. And I might have been a bit of a hype contrarian. But dialed it up when my kids were young, and we all loved it, watched the rest of the trilogy, and then saw Jurassic World in the theaters.

Similar device with E.T. Keep the audience in suspense with only a few partial shots of the alien until a decent way into the movie.

Jurassic Park on a big screen in '93 was absolutely mind blowing. Dr. Grants line about the world running to catch-up was applicable to the rest of Hollywood and I kind of hope Spielberg knew that and was turning the knife on the competition.
February 8Feb 8 Just watched the trailer. Looks like a plain and simple money grab. Can't wait to give it my money.
