She was an executive assistant asked to play babysitter because her boss doesn’t give a poo poo about family, and was deliberately abandoned by the kids she was trying to keep safe. Her death is a direct result of the insane negligence of both her bosses, and is gruesome and drawn out.
Jurassic World sucks.

Yeah, this is one of the problems with Jurassic World - it doesn't play fair, by horror-movie rules. Zara gets the death that should have been Claire Dearing's.

I too am disturbed by death by CGI dino, and the reminders it brings of everyone that died in WW2 to dinos and we must all remember the dino was inside us all along so we should support are troops who are thinking of the children and jesus and the bible.

I saw the movie at home recently, and I've always wondered how the crowds reacted in the theaters to that scene because my reaction was kind of a "whug..." of disgust and disbelief

I kept waiting for the punchline of her climbing out of the tank. When it never happened, I was just kind of confused.

Maybe! The problem with trying to figure out how extinct animals sounded based on nasal passages and skull shapes is that it leaves out the interact of fleshy parts like tongues and lips.

Like, imagine if some aliens land on earth 100 years from now, pick up a human skull, blow through the sinuses, and say "That's what humans sounded like!"

Basically, there's literally no way to prove that all dinosaur vocalization wasn't just blowing big ol wet raspberries.

Most Dinosaurs seem to lack the connectors for a syrnix, so probably not. T-Rex probably sounded like deep parts of the JAWS theme or the ultra-low-frequency THX sound test at the start of the movie because that poo poo carries for miles.

It would've vibrated the water in the glass, but with its mere proximity rather than its footsteps. You would've felt a nearby T-Rex with your bones and could probably tell how close it was by how badly the vibrations made you want to poo poo your pants (oh hey, Ark may have gotten something right).


:pseudo: Adult T-Rex probably didn't have feathers, but the young ones almost certainly did. T-Rex's forearms were tipped with 4cm claws (the raptor claws in the JP movies are 3.5 cm, for comparison) and were swole as gently caress, so while they probably got phased out in favor of just biting the poo poo out of stuff as the T-Rex aged, its babies were still movie velociraptors with knives on their hands.


As much fun as we make of T-Rex for its tiny little arms, you don't grow bones like this if they're just vestigial:




Edit: Carnotaurus did have vestigial arms, for comparison, but they never skipped leg day!

wait until you realize that right now, you are technically in space

So everything you interact with, you can add the word "space" in front of it

I'm going to go home tonight in my space car, kiss my space wife and sit down to watch some space television. I might order a space pizza and the space pizza deliveryman will bring it.

Ok, but they're 70 kg. You could suplex it.

Today in cool science facts: A quetzalcoatlus was the size of a giraffe, but it weighed so little that if it gave you any guff you could suplex it.

I really hope you rate the danger of all animals purely on their suplexibility.
