This is based on a pre-existing documentary which has a very endearing trailer even if the music drop is cliche

I watched the doc a while back and thought it was good. There was no widely overweight guy like in the trailer for the Taika trailer which they seem to be playing for laughs which doesn't bode great but I'll wait and see.

The latest from Blomkamp, I'll say that it at least is interesting how they're mimicking the game's look in the movie further blurring the lines between game and racing but l o l

I don't see a single Sharlto Copley so I'm boycotting out of principle. Hardcore Henry knew what was up having like, 5 Sharlto Copleys. That's why it's among the greatest films ever made. This is how film criticism and analysis works, out of 5 Copleys...it may surprise you that the majority of films score 0 Copleys or 1 Copley.

Kinda wish the GT movie was just about a guy who walks into a cafe and starts buying cars and entering crazy races because a random barista tells him to.

interesting how the game itself is incorporated to it. It feels like a modern day take on The Wizard.

I was pretty into the first Prehistoric Planet until I read just how much they made it all up out of whole cloth. I mean I figured there'd be some use of imagination and guesswork going on, but it turns out you can't infer much about animal behavior based on fragments of bones.

Eh as a paleo nerd, I find speculative paleontology very interesting (and often necessary) because yeah bones don't tell us a lot and there are some structures that don't survive fossilization as well. I remember one speculative paleo artist did some mockups of if we tried illustrating modern animals with only using bones as reference and the results were terrifying

The documentary is likely inspired partly by the CM Koseman book All Yesterdays which imagines dinosaurs with speculative features and behaviours that are realistically plausible but without any evidence. For example, there's a picture of a Protoceratops herd climbing a tree to eat leaves. There's no evidence they ever did this, but they're the same size as goats which do that all the time and their feet were good enough for it, so why not? It's really about portraying them as real animals. We are probably never gonna find fossils of a theropod mid-mating dance but their bird relatives do it. We never found a fossil of a T.rex swimming but their anatomy supports it.

Darren Naish who wrote for that book is the head consultant on the show, so you're spot on.

Back in 2008 I viciously followed the Cloverfield ARG after seeing that trailer in front of Transformers.

One of the sites that was a part of it, Slusho, came back online this morning.
