For All Mankind
Dinosaurs aren't cool enough anymore a sequel needs special genetically modified COOLER DINOSAURS

quote:

Director Colin Trevorrow has stated that the Indominus rex, the synthetic hybrid dinosaur at the center of the film's story, is symbolic of consumer and corporate excess. Trevorrow stated that the dinosaur was "meant to embody [humanity's] worst tendencies. We're surrounded by wonder and yet we want more, and we want it bigger, faster, louder, better. And in the world of the movie, the animal is designed based on a series of corporate focus groups."[25] He also stated that "There's something in the film about our greed and our desire for profit.

B: LOL at paying for so many Samsung phones to be in the movie only to have every single one of them get poo poo reception and lose calls, for no explained reason!

Two more points:

A: It was originally supposed to be cyborg dinosaurs, seriously

B: Given the loose end with the mad scientist and PMCs whisking them way, I expect cyborg dinosaurs in two years.

I decided to not see this movie when I saw the part of the trailer where Andy jumps into a raptor pit and isn't immediately torn asunder because he puts up his hands and goes "Whoa, easy girl."

I saw fury road yesterday instead and it was baller as gently caress

Real question: At what point does it cross over the line between authenticity of the times and product placement. Because there's a part of me that's like "Well you know in the future there would probably be a starbucks and a mcdonalds at jurassic world" So having it there is authentic in terms of the setting, but on the other hand I can see the complaints that it's forced product placement. So where does the line draw itself?

I think it's somewhere between this conversation:

>"Oh I see you got the new Ford Fusion Hybrid"
>>"Yes it has all kinds of great features, like parallel park assist and bluetooth and heated seats, plus all the latest safety features to make sure our little package in the back stays in one piece. Got a great deal on it too, our dealership gave us 2.9% financing and paid the PDI and freight so I could afford to buy this new Samsung Galaxy S6 Active."
>"Oh is that the one running Android 5.2 with the 16 megapixel camera and 5.1 inch AMOLED screen? I hear that one weighs less than five ounces."

and the people in the theatre locking themselves in and burning the fucker down.

Product placement in most movies is pretty realistic, so I don't have a problem with it. You can't walk down a city street pretty much anywhere in North America without seeing dozens or hundreds of signs for various businesses, and obviously there would be Starbucks and McDonalds locations at a huge amusement park, and of course each pavilion at the place would be sponsored by some tech company. Who gives a poo poo? The only time I've ever noticed product placement was after the fact reading about a movie on the Internet, which seems to have a bug up its rear end about it.

Other than in the "I, Robot" movie with Will Smith - he fawned over "vintage Nike sneakers" for absolutely no reason, despite the movie being set decades in the future and having nothing to do with clothes or fashion. You shouldn't insert an entire useless scene that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie just to have product placement. That was over the line.

The air jordans line was the only one that stuck out to me as being extremely blatant, tbh

Would've been better if they plugged, like, a basketball player or something. "You've got the lebron james of dinosaurs". I can get behind that.

So was there a reason why super saurus was bulletproof? I mean it was like Godzilla in that bullets just leave a little red bee sting that does nothing at all. It's especially jarring when you think of that guy's custom rifle of uselessness that he's always cradling around, like as if it could do anything.

I did like seeing one of the raptors get blown up with a rocket. That was kind of cool.

It is kind of funny how the movie shits on most of its sponsors. The only product I can think of that seemed unironically portrayed as "good" was the Coke Andy slurped from. Verizon's mocked for sponsoring dinos; Starbucks, Brookstone and all the overpriced shitslingers are hocking JP merch in the promenade because of course they would, but Coke is shown unattached to all that. The fact that it was an old-fashioned glass Coke bottle probably wasn't an accident.
