In the book Jurassic Park Hammond gets devoured by Compys, the little hopping dinosaurs that are like a foot tall, a swarm of them with their infectious, poisonous mouths biting him to death. And the Asian scientist dude doesn't make it off to make a new park, he gets tricked by the raptors and lured out of the barracks or whatever by one so another could yank him up from above. The last one of the characters sees of him is him being eaten alive via a wound that exposes his intestines while he feebly beats on it's head.

He really should've died in the movie too but Spielberg is a big softie.

I was mostly bullshitting about the global warming link, but the story in Jurassic Park is really week. It made Newman the villain and he dies like half way through and he never even interacts with the protagonists. Would've been a lot cooler if Hammond was a bad guy, and like say Sam Neill tells him he's not going to approve the park, so Hammond locks him in the park with the dinosaurs to kill him and Sam Neill has to escape. Then the climatic battle could be the dinosaurs ripping Richard Attenborough to shreds and everyone cheering. The actual ending of JP was really weak.

Eh I think Hammond is a much better character in the movie than the book because in the book he's a caricature of every bad boss; in the movie he's basically a modern Andrew Carnegie (Scottish, obsessed with Dinosaurs, thinking providing entertainment/education to the working class would be better than just giving them higher wages). Jurassic Park kind of bums me out towards the end because really all this death and destruction was caused by a corporation not paying its employees fairly and the industrial espionage from competitors. I mean who wouldn't want a magic dinosaur zoo that isn't a aviary?

If you think about it paying your employees what they are worth is as impossible for capitalism to keep itself under control as it is impossible for overweight men with glasses to not! put obscenely erotic imagery onto their wallpapers.

Basically what I'm saying is uh.... cost cutting finds a way.

So uhh Spider-Man. It was tolerable. It was enough to appease the millions of mindless comic book fans. Did it do Spider-Man justice? No. The first 2 Sam Raimi movies are better in every single way.

Michael Keaton's vulture... Uhh it's ok I guess? He's a loving idiot junkyard collector who's smart friends make him a super suit. He then uses the super suit to steal shipments of alien technology for his family.

I was thoroughly unimpressed, it was pretty by the numbers. Maybe high school students will like it more.

I watched Kingdom of Heaven director's cut after seeing recommendations continuously pop out.

it was so boring. I realized I had watched the theater cut years ago but forgot everything about it because orlando bloom is so dumb and unlikeable in this. the script is so hamfisted and nothing feels important. ridley scott is the truest hack.

bladerunner 2049 is gonna be so lame if ridley really got to meddle with it :smithcloud:

just got back from watching The Spiderman(tm) in 3D (of course) and WOW! This latest movie-flavoured processed Marvel product does not disappoint. It stars a teenage boy as Peter Parker, who acquires the powers of a spider and promptly begins laying his egg clutches in the chest cavities of Gotham's most exciting baddies! Marvel Pictures Inc.'s cutting edge 3D graphics really bring to life The Spiderman's eight grotesque legs, each grasping in their hideous claw a different promotional poster for another upcoming Marvel product film, all while trying to conceal his sickening new Kafka-esque form from the nubile Mary-Jane Watson. Also of note is the return of Micheal Keaton, whose astounding performance as the infamous Vulture(tm) converted all who witnessed it into beings of pure light, and I write to you now from a place beyond time to encourage you to spend your money on The Spiderman, you disposable loving zeroes

Thanks for bringing this down a couple notches. All the hype was starting to get to me, and I really did not want to pay movie theater prices to go watch yet another goddamn superhero flick. This puts me firmly back into rental territory.

RLM should do a Re:View of Conan the Barbarian. I watched it again recently and it's still a pretty fun movie with great music, and the amount of ripoffs it has rivals Mad Max. Hell, the Scorpion King franchise is pretty much Conan in ancient Egypt.

Did that gain any momentum as a great 'B' movie after cable stopped playing it every weekend?

In spider-man homecoming Sony wanted to ridicule Jon Favreau for making Marvel studios so successful.

So for the entire movie he's a whipping boy bitch who fucks up all his jobs, gets treated like poo poo, and looks like he wants to kill himself the whole time.

The first Scorpion King is pretty good as far as Conan the Barbarian ripoffs go, much like how the first two movies are decent Indy ripoffs

Blue Star posted:

Feathers on dinosaurs was still highly speculative back in 1993, and even then, only on certain dinosaurs (the really, REALLY birdlike ones). Nowadays there's reason to think that pretty much all dinosaurs, even sauropods and whatnot, had some kind of feathers on at least some part of their body.

JP wasnt perfectly scientifically accurate (spitting dilophosaurus, velociraptors too big) but overall it tried to be "up to date" about dinosaurs. Jurassic World deliberately ignored modern science in way more egregious ways than JP ever did. One thing to make velociraptor too big, another to just say "Meh, all paleontology over the past 20 years is bullshit, lets make dinosaurs more like we thought they were in the 1950s".


Yeah good point.... On the other hand who cares it's a pretend movie not real life
