even if you ignore the neighbour killing plot, the politics of the first half, the way the mother is depicted and the way henry behaves is fairly misogynistic, someone mentioned that the writer of book of henry is best friends with jordan peterson and I gotta tell ya, everything locked into place for me after hearing that

stop playing video games, janice

Yeah, being somewhat familiar with the movie and how they talked about it afterwards, that makes more sense than just being an anecdote I had no context with besides 'Oh, okay. That guy sucks too.'

I had no idea Matt Caracappa was still out there and active. I used to read X-Entertainment probably every day circa 2001-05. That's great!

Digging into dinosaur factoids also brings up some incidental stuff that's really cool. Like grass. Apparently grass is way older than scientists first thought, with it now being confirmed present in the Cretacious period and they;re now suggesting it could have developed even earlier.

That's pretty neat. Most conversations and thoughts I have on the ancient world is about weather and fauna, not so much the flora.

Haha holy poo poo remember Disney's CGI Dinosaur movie? Apparently that was originally going to be a Paul Verhoeven/Phil Tippett venture with Go-Motion.

That honestly would have been amazing to see.

Can't wait till Expedition Theme Park cover the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom. I am curious to see how much Eisner fuckery went into it.

It looks like a super intense ride, just with some minor minor minor stuff added to it. It had like nothing to do with the film outside of the carnosaur and maybe the main iguanodon.

I guess I can't fault him for getting there in the end, regardless of the reasons, that's better than I can say for actual salaried games writers.

there is a rad 4-part pbs documentary from the early 90's called the dinosaurs! that may be relevant to your interests. my dad recorded it on vhs and i watched it so much as a kid that i wore the tapes out. i love documentaries like this that are outdated in some of the info they include since i love seeing scientific understanding advance through time.

There's one at the end though.

E: also the ethos of "what if we made the whole game out of cutscene" gave us the masterpieces of Metal Gear Solid, Yakuza, and Contradiction, so maybe there's something there

The problem with Jack is that his ideas would amount to some really bad feature creep to cover some small things that aren't terribly noteworthy.
