Parallax Scroll posted:literally the only thing i remember about jp3 is there was a scene where a guy got eaten by compys I think that's the second one. There's a massive army who are all equipped with weapons and poo poo and they all die almost instantly. It's like they take over the island and capture some dinosaurs and then two days later they are all dead. Meanwhile in the third one a literal child armed with nothing hangs out on an island with dinosaurs for weeks on his own and gets a little dirty but is otherwise fine. Although maybe you are right and I'm getting them the wrong way round.

Why bring Grant along it would be easier to just wow Sattler alone in the jungle, and then out his dino DNA in her without Grant there. Unless he wanted Grant there to see, spiking the football etc. Rich people have egos.

Jack Horner is also batshit insane and creepy looking (married one of his grad students 4 years ago). Nice guy when I met him at a conference though

Lots of cool stuff there, what's more amazing is we have stuff in the bone rooms that hasn't been opened up since they came to the museum 90 years ago. i though bakker and horner actually had a relatively friendly relationship despite their professional disagreements. like spielberg put a caricature of bakker in the lost world and had him get eaten by a t. rex as a favor to horner. but bakker actually liked it and sent a friendly note to horner telling him so.

1993 was the perfect time to release Jurassic Park as well, do you guys remember the marketing effort/educational aspect put forth about DINOSAURS in the early 90's? They were loving everywhere.

also, in the book the kids get hammond killed. the kids have gotten back to the main compound and are screwing around with the computer system, while hammond is walking to the complex from his bunglaow or some poo poo idk. the kids find a program on the computer that plays various dinosaur sounds over the loudspeaker. so, of course, they play the t-rex roar. hammond hears it and thinks there's a t-rex over by the main compound and starts to walk away, but trips and breaks his ankle. some compys come across him, and since he can't get away due to the broken ankle they eat him. oh, but he stops trying to get away after a couple bites because, according to the book, compys have something in their saliva that causes numbness and relaxation in their victims. so he just sits there, his mind wandering off into space, while the little compys chow down.

Umm, doesn't the exchange go Lawyer: "We can charge whatever we want. $2000 a day, $10000 a day, and people will pay it to get in here." Hammon: "This park wasn't meant to cater only to the super rich. Everyone in the world has the right to enjoy these animals." Lawyer: "And they will, we'll have a Coupon Day or something." So Mr Lawyer is the bad guy. Hammond in the movie is supposed to remind us of a friendly Grandfather (whereas in the book he's a straight up shithead).

It's been a while since I saw Lost World but isn't the sole reason why everything went to poo poo was because the protagonists released all the dinosaurs from their cages in the big camp? And that was after the protagonists had their lives saved by the big group? So the protagonists basically kille a hundred human beings to saves some cloned freak specimans?

He may not have been evil, but he was definitely deluded or blinded by some weird ideal. Remember the conversation over icecream with Satler and she shouts at him?

They'd only captured herbivores, so all the dinos did was run amok for a few minutes and then scatter. And the protagonists got rescued after letting the captured dinosaurs go. It was the protagonists trying to help the baby t-rex that got their poo poo smashed up, after which they got rescued by the hunter guy and friends.

The board of directors wanted the lawyer and Malcolm. They would be more concerned with liability and making sure everything was checked and double-checked before the park opens. Hammond wanted Grant and Sattler because he figured they were real dino enthusiasts and would naturally be on his team. Harald fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Aug 29, 2014 |

look the movie was cool and so was the book too because i was a kid when i saw/read both dinosaurs were the poo poo in 1993 this is my real "unless you were a 90s kid" poo poo but why the gently caress did it take 2 years for this movie to come out on vhs? we got a reserve copy from kmart KMART!!!!!! P.S. I never became a paleontologist

But is the board made up of impressionable children and/or idiots? I mean, they got behind a plane to clone dinosaurs, so they obviously are. But still, when malcolm and the lawyer are like "poo poo plan, humans are dinosaur food," what's the board going to say when Hammond is all "yeah but these overgrown children doing joke science are pretty fuckin giddy"? If Hammond was savvy enough to be a rich man he'd get some actual expert and pay him off to say it's safe. It's like hiring a coin collector to give financial advice. All they'll be able to tell you is "lol,yep thats some money."

Movie magic fun fact: If you watch the scene with Nedry and the Dilophosaurus, it's interesting to see how the spit is done. Supposedly, the dilophosaurus horks up a huge loogie wad of venom, which Nedry then pulls off of his shirt. However, if you watch closely, what the movie makers did was simple. The spitter horks its wad, then the actor playing Nedry slaps the goo on his own chest. I found the video clip. Nedry does his stuff just after the 2:30 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9q8XCW_Fsk

Doc Block posted:edit: also, Malcolm says something about "John doesn't approve of Chaos Theory, especially not what it has to say about his little science project" on the helicopter ride over, so he does know. Maybe he's one of those famous pop culture scientists, so they want his approval for PR reasons, but he's more focused on being a "rock star" than a knowledgeable scientist/mathematician/whatever. Malcolm is surprised when he sees the dinosaurs so basically before that his opinion is "you can't do it and even if you could it's a loving dumb idea"

Guys hey so if chaos theory is real, every single zoo should be a 24 hour a day blood bath right?? I mean, rare animals should be breeding like rats and albino tigers should be devouring people and chasing rhinos and elephants across northern Ohio 24/7 from the Toledo zoo completely taking over the continent??
