Anytime you open the door to the fridge all the cold air immediately jumps out and escapes and then it takes hours for the fridge to cool down again

Watching Zulu and I'm enjoying all the ways they try to hide the Enfield rifles masquerading as Martini-Henry breech loaders. They slip up a couple times and show a bolt being worked, but for the most part the camera work does a really good job of masking them. This is just a really good movie. I like how the action isn't clean, but really awkward and sloppy. It adds a level of authenticity to the battles, where disciplined ranks descend into brawls when things get out of hand.

You'd think Hammond would have had something similar if he spared no expense.

Most people would probably close the freezer doors behind them, even if it was an entirely futile gesture, because we normally do it reflexively, and would probably keep doing it even if it doesn't matter. Hell, the fact that the melted ice got everywhere and the rebooted freezer would then been wasting power to chill the entire room gives an actual reason why you should close the door. But Hammond's all about a well-concealed slovenliness, where he relentlessly cuts corners and doesn't give a poo poo about the people who have to clean up, so of course he just leaves the door open. The freezer's already a loss, and that's all that really matters to him.

I just realized now, well after my previous post, that this actually isn't the JP thread  Weird. That, and it feels like every second thread I check out ends up referencing JP recently. I definitely don't mind, but it's weird.

Piell posted:Hammond spared all the expenses, that's just some bullshit he said Yeah, Hammond was as full of poo poo as he was icecream. I don't remember the book all that well but even the movie shoves this point in your face (from Hammond's own perspective) and tries to force you to ignore it. Nedry (Wayne Knight) spends a minute or two complaining about his pay rate and work load, but gets shut down by a Hammond who was preoccupied by his grandkids being on the tour. He'd already been doing some corporate espionage by this point, but drat, pay the computer janitor a little more and don't give him godlike control over your genetic abomination vanity project.

Nedry was a double nepotism guy though. First, he likely only got the job because he's Hammond's nephew. Second, because he's family, Hammond likely figured he could pay him less.

Was there ever any indication in the book or movie that Nedry was actually being paid less though? He could have been making Silicon Valley bro-grammer scratch and just been poo poo with money. I don’t recall the park being underfunded necessarily. It was unprepared, but I’m pretty sure Hammond was dumping buckets of his and other people’s money into that project, which is why the lawyer was there.

Honestly I'd believe a bit of both. Hammond could have stopped at bringing dinosaurs to life. "Hey, every paleontologist ever, here's some real live dinosaurs." Then you can do research on the creatures. Study them to figure out how to build a park safely around them. Then build the loving amusement park. Several steps were skipped, all of them related to safety and security.

I think the book confirms that Nedry's company was the lowest bidder for the job when it was advertised, but InGen also kept them in the dark about the actual purpose of the park until super late in the game so there was a ton of post-project support which they probably hadn't accounted for when they submitted their proposal

He could have been making Silicon Valley bro-grammer scratch and just been poo poo with money. Dunno about the original pay, but in the book they called up Nedry to do massive rewrites to the system after he'd mostly finished, but refused to pay for that, and that escalated to the threat of lawsuits and badmouthing him to his other clients, so he had to eat those costs. Also he had employees/a company, or something like that. And the whole time they refused to tell him what the park actually was, or what the systems were really for, other than the most basic generalities, and then would get mad when it didn't work and there were bugs. So Nedry's motivation was one part money, and a whole lot of spite. CzarChasm posted:Nedry was a double nepotism guy though. First, he likely only got the job because he's Hammond's nephew.

Nedry isn't related to Hammond in either the book or the movie.

Not a very subtle movie moment, but I liked the callback in Endgame when Thor and Rocket are on Asgard and Rocket is being chased by the guards, one of them yells "GET THAT RABBIT!"

On the subject of Endgame, I always thought Hulks line about the stones radiation being mostly gamma kind of came out of nowhere, and was just a cool sounding line made up to justify him putting on the glove. Then I remembered that the whole reason Banner was recruited in the first Avengers film was because the Tesseract emmited Gamma radiation. A nice bit of continuity without drawing attention to the callback.

Like Hammond's laying down a life lesson of sorts to someone who should know better, and Nedry just verbally bats it away with that.

At the end, if your park full of maneating hell monsters can only be run by the one guy because of your idiocy and expense sparing, you pay that one guy what he wants

Hippos can eat meat, they just don't really feel like chasing you down. Unless you annoy them. Then you dead. You so dead.

My favorite story about this is a bunch of scientists put up bird nets to catch and count small birds, like you do, but they'd come back and the nets would be empty. So they set up cameras, and sure enough they were catching little birds, but then deer would walk by and just start chomping down on the helpless birds when they figured out that they couldn't get away.

I don't know if that's a plot point in 2049 (never seen it) but as far as the first movie goes, that's all conjecture IMO. Ridley Scott pretty much did whatever he wanted with the characters so I never saw a reason to believe in one way or another. In the PKD story he's certainly not a replicant because there's a small plot arc where all his fellow cops get killed and replaced and they try to convince him he's been duplicated. Some replicants do know. Roy Baty and his friends knew, so did a bunch of the android slaves who rebelled.

Replicants being self aware is a major plot point in Blade Runner 2049. All the replicants in the movie know, hence why the miracle child is so special.

Also 2049 does bring up the Decker question, and answers it by saying that whether he's a replicant or not is irrelevant. What people believe in is what truly matters, not what someone's origins are.

Too bad it expectedly failed. I would have enjoyed a follow up.
