AGirlWonder posted:Edit: Huh, I wonder when that avatar happened. Is that the new default? From understanding - yes. Lowtax was saying something about changing the newbie one. Personally I'm more excited for more Jurassic Park than more Star Wars. I really am hoping for a final cameo/twist maybe in an after credits sequence where one of the main characters from the original comes back.

Timeless Appeal posted:Speaking of violence in Jurassic Park, I was watching Lost World after the original last night. And I thought to myself how cool the opening scene is. You just had this film about these two children surviving dinosaurs, and it seems super ballsy to start a movie with a child being killed. Create the illusion that maybe the characters you think are dino-proof in this film might actually be in danger. Then Hammond makes it clear she didn't die, and that seems pretty lame. And then the first person to die onscreen in the movie is the nicest, most helpful, altruistic character, who gets the most gruesome death in the series.

I believe that Hammond says, "Oh she's fine, she's fine..." and handwaves the issue. Because of that I always took it that she did in fact die, and he's not mentioning it.

Wasn't there a dinosaur in The Lost World book that could go invisible because it had chameleon DNA mix in or something? I think I remember that and a female T-Rex spraying musk on the hood of the group's jeep. And the giant cage ball thing the kid gets trapped in.

If they go back to the old park, maybe we'll Finally get an explanation for that out of nowhere cliff in the TRex paddock.

I want to know how exactly that tank for the mosasarus exhibit works. I thought it was going to be that they have it living out in a cove, but then again you probably don't want to give it a chance to escape into the wild. Maybe they just found a really deep sinkhole and filled it with water.

At some point in the movie the dam's gonna open...

FlamingLiberal posted:That's pretty likely considering so few people were involved with/survived JP1. You could have Ian Malcolm as the TV crack warning everyone how stupid opening a full-fledged theme park is. How did they cover up the renegade T-Rex in San Diego? ...according to the wiki, they didn't. Huh. You'd think there'd be a bigger shitshow after something like that.

Something I noticed for the first time when re-watching The Lost World was that apparently InGen made an effort to discredit Ian Malcom and make him out to be a crazy person. The T-Rex rampaging through San Diego probably remains in the public consciousness though.

True, but the general public wouldn't know that there was a Jurassic Park. So to them the rampaging Jurassic Park was just an InGen screw up from a lab or something, who knows. But only Grant, Sadler, and Malcolm would know they tried to make a theme park before.

There was a giant amphitheater in San Diego with a 'Jurassic Park' logo. Also, I assume that people inquired as to why there was a T-Rex rampaging through San Diego and connected the dots with both that and what Malcom said after the first incident. edit: They also said they could open the park in a month so I presume that they were planning on opening soon and advertised their business.

In Jurassic Park III the island is in control of the United Nations and people constantly bug Sam Neil at lectures by asking questions about Jurassic Park. That last part must happen in real life too.

Unfortunately, as cool as that would be I don't think it'll be the case. Most of the maps available of the old park show that everything in the new facility was built right on top of the old, and there doesn't seem to be anything of note in the northern fenced-off area. You never know, though, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll find Nedry's Jeep.

On the Masrani webpage it mentions that Henry Wu is alive and famous for writing about his goof of including frog DNA in the dinosaurs and how it can be used to create new species. He is possibly the only returning character from the first film and clearly hasn't learned from his mistakes because he repeating it again by making a super intelligent killer dinosaur.

They're not making toys of the dinosaurs, they're making dinosaurs patterned after toys. It's basically a zoo filled with killer brands.

Seeing the toys of Jurassic World reminds me of that freaky toyline which had a chunk of flesh torn from the dinosaur exposing bone and muscle and pressing the rib would make the dinosaur roar in fits of rage. Couldn't find any trace of Lost World figures which featured it but JP3 certainly did.

But my favorite JP toy is the big T-Rex that could eat things and you could get them out through a slit in the belly.

I remember being excited for the Jurassic Park Lost World game, and then finally playing it and realizing that you had to play through a bunch of lovely missions to get to the fun stuff, like playing as the T-Rex. That being said, I really enjoyed the Human Prey missions.

It's funny you mention the music, since Michael Giacchino is scoring the film -- and he composed the score for the Lost World video game way back when.

D-Pad posted:I am fairly certain the engineered dino reveal is that it has chameleon like abilities. The big bad in the second book was a dinosaur that had chameleon genes and was basically invisible if it didn't move (get it?) And I always wondered why that has never made it into one of the films as it seems such an obvious direction to go. Diabolus Rex supposedly has T. Rex, velociraptor, snake, and cuttlefish DNA. Cuttlefish can change the color of their skin to match their environments. This film is an opportunity to explore an idea in the original novel. Wu viewed the animals as artificial lifeforms that were barely representative of the originals, and he approached Hammond about creating designer dinosaurs, but Hammond was deluding himself that the park was historically accurate and didn't want to compromise that vision.

Hollismason posted:Haha a dinosaur park with real dinosaurs losing attendance...hahahahahahaha Well you have to wonder at what point does the novelty wear off? And after a while it may get to the point where there are kids who've never known a time before genetically-engineered dinosaurs. To those kids, dinosaurs wouldn't be this awesome thing they'll only get to read about in books, they'll just be giant birds and lizards that died a long long time ago but exist again on an island. It'd be roughly as exciting as going to a zoo. But I guess plenty of kids go apeshit just getting to go to the zoo, so whatever.
