The movie came out when I was 12, but it was a PG-13 movie so my mom refused to let me see it because she's a terrible parent. She let me read the novel instead, which would be a hard-R for gore and violence. I had nightmares for months until my dad took me to see it right before it left theaters.

Laslow posted:What was up with those dumb Sudoku chaos theory pics in the book? I was like eight years old when I read it, so I probably missed the point somehow. They illustrate the meta-narrative of apparent stability and disorder. I always liked the computer print outs when they figure out how they're miscounting the dinosaurs.

Leon Einstein posted:This is a good summation. I loathed every sequel while loving the original. Jurrasic World was offensively bad. "Want to see something really cool?" Hard cut to Mercedes Benz. No, movie, you can't be a satire about corporate sponsorship ruining an authentic experience by doing product placement.

Is it Wu or Muldoon that is recommending they roll back to an earlier version on the raptors? In the book the dinosaurs have version numbers like software releases.

Timby posted:I forget the particulars of the book, but in the movie, Nedry himself was simply an employee of a contract firm. (When the systems go awry, Hammond tells Arnold to call "Nedry's people in Cambridge;" that's when Arnold realizes the phones are out.) He also said "do you know anyone who can debug two million lines of code for what I bid for this job," so maybe Cambridge is who referred him to Hammond for the job? Maybe everybody hated him there and hoped he'd get this new job by naively bidding way too low.

MarcusSA posted:Yeah but imagine how much more awesome it would be if the T-Rex had feathers! Just imagine the feathers blowing in the rain! Yes, because the feathers would have kept the foam rubber T-Rex robot from getting waterlogged in the rain and throwing off the balance of the animatronics and causing uncontrollable shaking. Just like what would have happened to a real T-Rex.

I like that Genaro then mouths the word "animatronic" to himself after Hammond corrects him, as if to help remember the correct term.

I think the nest scene was to "humanize" the raptors a bit, leaving the reader seeing the raptors just as animals wanting to survive: raising babies, desire to migrate. We get to see them in a neutral light just before the firebombing so that we feel bad for them, they didn't ask for this, you're not my real dad!
