K. Waste posted:Did anyone else get the feeling from one of the final shots where the raptors actually seem to be... running alongside Chris Pratt? IN that case I hope this is a successor to Gremlins 2 where a Raptor puts on a monocle and top hat and explains what's going on to the kids in the audience. You know what. Jurrasic Park was a spiritual sequel to Gremlins 2 only serious in tone.

Wesley Snipes in Blade is up there with Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton and RDJ for best lead performance in a superhero movie. Dude owns.

Gremlins 2 is the only one where an attempt at dialog between the two parties was made but ended in bloodshed. Aliens was to nuke it and survive. Jurrasic Park was to respect it and let it be. Prometheus is a meditation of how trying to understand it can lead to madness and disaster and not being satisfactory.

Also, follow-up to my desire to poo poo on a euroskeptic's desk: Today the EU Parliament was discussing combating violence against women. When it was a UKIP parliamentarian's turn to talk for a couple minutes, she said that women in the UK get assaulted because of "criminal gangs from abroad" who take advantage of the EU's open borders to prey on new, unsuspecting victims. Professor Clumsy, therattle, echoplex any other British goons: I hold you all personally responsible. Explain yourselves.

Most want to stay at home to raise families, and can’t be trusted to vote, said the twice-married father of six. They are also, he claims, “less tall, less heavy, less intelligent, on the average”. And he adds: “Women usually vote for the more handsome man.”

In cool news, I got to take a leadership role in a demonstration today, which included calling out some creepo plainclothes cops embedded in the crowd. In not so cool news, the demonstration was organized by the Revolutionary Communist Party, who are like 80% wingnuts. They have a pretty constant presence in the area, and I'm compelled to show some support for them- united front and all that, and you kind of take what you can get when you're trying to organize labor- but I can't dismiss the fact that they supported the Shining Path and Stalin, and preached that homosexuality was an indulgent capitalist perversity into the 90s, and that Bob Avakian is a bigtime fuckboy. Edit: fix the drat font size Lowtax

That time Nigel Farage got in a plane crash was pretty dope. Personally I think Britain would be a lot better off without all those stinking Anglo-Saxons walking around like they own the place when they can't even speak Common Brittonic. They should probably gently caress off home to Germany.

Seconding the vote for the book. It's a well-written, powerful novel. As for UKIP, Jesus tittyfucking Christ, they are appalling. They are the Southern racist fucks of the UK.

I really was pretty optimistic about Jurassic World because I like the idea of a film taking place in a fully operational park but man that trailer just looked like garbage. The original already slightly annoyed me in how it sort of reduced it's scientific arguments to "man should not mess in It also just seems lazy in the plot department. They set up a concept where the problems in the first are overcome and the new concept is them just seems to be an excuse to bypass that fact and get them in the same situation, except with more people being eaten. Like the Raptors in the original were already this super intelligent killing machine that did whatever would make for a more thrilling movie. It seems pointless to make a new dinosaur that's "even more dangerous and ever more intelligent" because really anything they're going to make this thing do they could have just made raptors do and no one would have blinked an eye.
