In the book he has an existential crisis because he thinks a restaurant is poo poo and someone tells him Donald Trump's wife eats there.

The velociraptors in the book are described as being pretty small. It was the movie that upscaled in size them because it made them work better as a movie monster and so they could fit a dude into the raptor costume. Here's a video about the costume they used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAzQr3Ml0UI

Man, it makes me so sad to see the way that movies are going nowadays. The suit looks so much more organic than the later films, where CGI was poo poo out everywhere. Jurassic Park isn't the worst offender, Star Wars cough, but it does say something when the first one holds up much better than 3. Speaking of the film, I would absolutely love to see that trash bag queen alien. That sounds hilarious/awesome.

My dad is friends with someone at Stan Winston studios(Now Legacy Effects) and I got to go through their shop in Burbank and it was loving awesome.

It was part of the special features on the Laserdisc I had back in college. That drat disc had so much extra material. Like, two or three drafts of the entire script, that sort of thing. Anyway, the trash bag alien queen was pretty neat...it was actually full-size & they had it out in a parking lot, making it move every which way. No audio, as I recall.

God Sparticus drives me up the loving wall. My roommate is binge watching it. It's nothing but slow motion 300 hits, loving, and using modern curse words in some awkward English-Roman accent. Seriously, every time I look up there's tits, slow mo blood, or some twisted face jackass telling someone to gently caress off or to get off his nuts or something.

I saw a clip of the show, and it bugged me. It was some sort of sword fight and one guy sliced upwards into another guy's face, and cut the front part of his head off. Cool video effect, but it was ruined for me when the body fell to its knees and the brain slid out of the front hole. That's not how brains work. They are still connected to the spinal cord. Anyway, that's my irrational irritation at that show.

mng posted:once again the gods see fit to spread cheeks and ram cock in rear end This is exactly what I was trying to describe. The whole show's dialogue is terrible. Fix that, maybe not make every single contact point in battle so exaggerated, and we'll talk. Remember, I don't have to be rational in this thread.

Hehe, yeah I know. I thought it was cool to begin with, then it got a bit grating. Personally I think the combat and crazy blood effects are cool, though I did have to laugh at the brain plopping out of that guy's skull.

Rewatching Game of Thrones. How did Littlefinger not recognize Arya Stark when she was in the burned out castle and was serving as a cupbearer? I know she looks nothing like her sister but of all people Littlefinger should know. Along similar lines, other than the girls, do the younger Stark boys have any idea about the Red Wedding happening? I can't remember Bran talking about it at all but compared to other characters his is kinda forgettable.

Cowslips Warren posted:Rewatching Game of Thrones. I'm pretty certain little finger does know it is arya. But calling her out would prove no advantage to him. He still wants to marry into nobility and has his sights on the other stark girl, but arya would work in a pinch. and I'm pretty sure planning on killing all the lannsters at some point and already has their trust from betraying Ned stark. So pointing out Arya would just get her killed.

But if I remember right, weren't the Lannisters still trying to trade the girls for Jamie? Actually having them both meant they could do the trade. Or was Littlefinger already working for the Tyrells at that point and pretty much gave no shits about the Lannisters having the girls?

There's no way in hell they would kill Arya, she had been missing in action for months at that point and would be a huge bargaining chip.

He is the reason everything went to poo poo. The entire civil war is his fault. He has been scheming from the start. He doesn't work for anyone. He is working to get everyone else killed and put himself in charge.
