I dunno t-rex could probably handle a small cannon.

Lighting the fuse would be an issue with the tiny t-rex hands though.

Spielberg has never given a poo poo about continuity and there's a far more glaring example earlier when there's a robot arm rotating the raptor eggs and holding the one they're watching hatch and after one cut it's rotated away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLz5Api676Y&t=24s

It even rotates back in to grab the empty shell from Grant's hands.

We’re all thinking it: Spielberg is a hack. Sound of Freedom was the superior movie. I need to go make a 42 minute YouTube.

And the concrete moats, and the motion sensor tracking systems. Ronald, dear boy, relax.

A concrete moat next to a paddock, huh? Sounds like a cliff to me.

Also lol that Hammond can't even bother to learn Genarro's first name and thinks he's called Ronald.

Jurassic park was a movie about cgi and jurassic park 2 was a movie about how badass it is to go camping in a gigantic triple trailer rv and to ride motorcycles. Jurassic park 3 was a movie about collecting t-rex pee and how that would bring pervy spinosauruses around. Jurassic park 4 was a snuff film. Jurassic park 5 was some poo poo about a mansion and international diamond auctions or some poo poo. Jurassic park 6 came out already in 2022.

I love going to IMDb after watching a movie, but I always breeze right past "continuity errors" because I honestly do not understand how to care about those

I can be pretty drat pedantic for sure, I just don't see how you could care about "he was standing over here in this shot, but now he's standing somewhere slightly different"

The cliff bothered me even as a kid. The continuity was broken but still didn't detract from the film.

The cliff is similar to that sequence in The Dark Knight Rises where the attack on the stock trading floor turns into a chase that goes from day to night when it enters a tunnel just because Nolan wanted the chase to end at night. Filmmaker wanted to do something, knew he could get away with it, and so did it. Maybe another writing pass on the script could have given them a good reason for both these things, but ultimately it's not necessary because 95% of the audience will go along with it. I know I didn't notice either of these things until they were pointed out to me.

couldn't sleep last night so I re-watched American Movie (1999), about my second favourite group of wisconsin movie making slobs

it's astonishing at how much better shot and movielike the Cöven footage looks as compared to the shot-on-MiniDV direct-to-Tubi moopies that we stream on Fridays, holy poo poo

watched "american movie" (1999 dir. chris smith) at the alamo

a documentary about a milwaukee man trying to make an independent short film with friends and family over the course of several years. big clerks + fargo vibes. laugh out loud funny; it's hard to believe it wasn't scripted. but also, it made me mad because this fuckin guy was 30 when he finished his film, with nothing but a packers beanie and a dream, so what the gently caress am I doing

highly recommended to any rlm lovers, if there are any in this general youtube content thread (it is *not* about the making of space cop btw)

THIS one I always noticed though, but just went "oh well!".

I honestly just now understand the cliff everyone is talking about, about a minute ago reading the responses.

Spielberg blockbusters always play fast and loose with the plot, compared to gold standard Cameron. Like some movies you just treat them as roller coaster rides instead of stories.

Also that small rear end island can't possibly feed these many dinosaurs.

Tiny island? It was a lot bigger than even what you saw in theatres, just a camera trick to get it to fit on screen.
