Also JP3 was on AMC the other night. When the Spinosaurus attacks Grant quizzes his assistant: "what do you think it was?" "snout that big? suchomimus" "nah think bigger" "baryonyx?" "not with that sail" Like who the gently caress has a paleontology degree and doesn't instantly recognize a spinosaur.

My girlfriend isn't really into videogames, but became obsessed with beating Jurassic Park for SNES during college. After many attempts she had a marathon game going and was quite close to the end but ended up getting glitched into a wall somehow and couldn't move. Now she's mostly just a shadow of the person I once knew.

opus111 posted:how is Jurrasic Park even close to being a B-movie? My apologies. One movie out of three movies and two novels was a-list. I feel so stupid and ashamed and disappointed in myself that I neglected to make that distinction in the post, as it would have gone a long way towards not upsetting an annoying pedant on the internet.

Absalom Baird posted:I love Jeff Goldblum, I love Ian Malcolm, but cmon now what kind of man wears a leather suit to a tropical island You know the more I read Jurassic Park the more I dislike Michael Crichton, the movie is just way better than the novel in basically every way. Its a testament to how good Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Richard Attenborough were in their roles because in the book Malcolm is the smuggest self-insert, Dr. Grant is kind of bland, and Hammond is generic Crichton evil CEO #210012. Also the Lost World is a lovely novel written by a guy who was basically forced to do it and is really mean spirited by the end when Crichton is basically "And all these dinosaurs are going to go extinct again because I read about prions and hot drat do I love prions!!!" Sphere, Congo, Andromeda Strain, and Eaters of the Dead are still cool though. Of those 4 I think Andromeda Strain was a good movie adaption and The 13th Warrior was badass as all hell. I love Jurassic Park though, if I didn't see it when I was 4 I don't know what I would be doing now since I've spent the last 18 years trying to become a dinosaur paleontologist. Jurassic Park III killed my childhood though the second the T-Rex got killed by the Spinosaurus, I mean what the hell, they couldn't even redeem it in the end with the two T-Rexs from the Lost World coming in to avenge the death of their child (Did I mention that the T-Rex in JP3 was the Baby T-Rex from TLW ) Still love The Lost World though. achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Aug 28, 2014 |

Also its a crime that Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill aren't in any big films anymore. I don't know why people think that Jeff is a lovely actor, he's great in every role that he has played, even when he was in one of the Death Wish films or that film where he was a serial killer claiming to be Satan.

Jeff Goldblum went all weirdo, playing oddball characters. Also, he's old and gray, and too old to get leading man roles anymore. Sam Neill only did a couple of mainstream American movies.

Why are Grant and Sattler even there? They're paleontologists. You know what they don't teach you in paleontology school? HOW TO RUN A loving ZOO. They were qualified to do one thing, and only one thing, and that was to confirm that, yep, those are indeed dinosaurs congrats guys. And even that much is dubious because they've never seen anything but fossils. The notion that the could identify species by external morphology alone on sight, at a glance even, is bullshit. Jurassic Park is so much bullshit. Are the dinosaurs 100 million years old and underground? No? Then you don't need a paleontologist for fuckall anything.

the worst part of the book was near the end when Grant was in the raptor hole and he had some kind of raptor bone and he was blowing a raptor tune through it, and the raptors in the hole beckoned to his calling.

The Lost World was unused stuff from the first book + stuff from the second book. Jurassic Park 3 was unused stuff from the second book + new stuff. The raptor call scene was in JP3, but I don't remember if it was new or pulled from The Lost World book.
