Is this the one where a raptor gains the ability to use guns and it runs into a children’s learning center with an AR-15 while chris pratt’s character plays with his phone outside?

I’m sorry I’m on a lot of medication right now so I’m losing track of stuff as of recent.

It's 45 seconds tops including 20 seconds of kid reaction shots

the actual evil villain gets a raptor lunging towards him and then the movie cuts away. you can't even pretend it wasn't super weird to torture that lady.

Yeah I also didn't really find it notable at the time, but looking back on it, it's pretty weird and I'm struggling to think of any other person being tortured more in the series. Maybe the Lost World compy attack.

OH NO!
The original 3 movies have a very high correlation between film quality and the quality of their action figure lines.

JP is an all time classic with all time classic toy tie ins and lol at anyone who doesn’t think so. You got the iconic two vehicles, a big fuckoff goddamn visitors center playset with a hatchery, computer with voices and sounds, and lots of stuff on the building for the dinosaurs to wreck. There was even a big door on the balcony where the Trex could pop his head through and promptly corpse any unassuming figure. The dinosaurs all had DINO DAMAGE, which were little pieces of rubbery flesh-like chunks that you could have another beast bite out of them, revealing BONES and GUTS underneath. It also had maybe the best action figure play feature of all time, a Dennis Nedry (who looks like a secret service agent for some reason instead of Newman) who could have his loving ARMS RIPPED OFF.

TLW was unnecessary but also was a pretty okay sequel with good merch and toys. It also put Jeff Goldblum in the lead role which was an inspired decision. It also pretty neatly wrapped up the franchise with the island being a protected preserve and giving us the city rampage money shot sequence.

JP3 was an abomination and easily the worst of the franchise. This is also where the toys started going off the loving rails, replacing big rear end. Where you got a big rear end command compound for JP1 and a cool mobile command trailer for TLW, the figures for 3 were flimsy and cheap feeling, the vehicles were uninspired garbage not even in the movie, and the Dinos were crap too. Awful.

A Fancy Hat posted:

I like when they introduce a little side villain who's built up like a big deal with her own trained raptors and then she totally disappears from the movie.

Then there's ANOTHER side villain that shows up right near the end, like he's the main bad guy's secret bodyguard or something, and he also just disappears.

And I really like how the main villain keeps asking for food bars and you think this is going to pay off but it never does, instead he dies in a really bizarre homage to the first movie that seems to suggest he's somehow aware of events in that first movie that nobody in the world could be. Which is fitting because he also has access to the shaving cream can that was buried in mud in a random spot on an island that was then abandoned and eventually destroyed by a volcano.

The main villain in JWD is Dr. Lewis Dodgson, aka the guy Nedry met with at the resort in the first JP. This is funny because in the first movie, he comes off as a shady merc middleman/info broker type, but JWD wants us to believe he earned a PHD, transformed himself over the ensuing 28 years into Tim Cook (he honestly looks like a Tim Cook impersonator and acts like a mix between him and Steve Jobs) and became the head of a shadowy evil science company that is clearly meant to be Dinosaur Apple. This is why he has some knowledge of the events of the first movie, and why the Barbasol can is in his office.

Of course, the movie never bothers to remind/tell you that the big bad of the movie, and ostensibly the entire trilogy in retrospect, is in fact a very minor character from a movie that came out 28 years ago. It’s “Somehow, Palpatine returned,” but instead of Palpatine it’s a random Jawa who had like 10 seconds of screen time in 1977. That’s part of the reason the ironic death mirroring of Nedry’ s in the end falls flat.

Also fun fact: Cameron Thor, the original actor who portrayed Dodgson in JP went on to serve 6 years in prison for sexually assaulting his then 13 year old acting student, which MAY have something to do with the fact he wasn’t asked back with the rest of the old crew.

Yeah that was dumb and an incredibly obvious plothole they introduced for fan service no one cared about


Maybe they made a ton of them and gave them out to a bunch of people. But the one they showed was hosed up in the same way Nedry's would be, and I'd imagine most people would take better care of theirs. So I dunno, I'm trying to justify something dumb


Edit: now they gotta normalise dinos everywhere and like, not make it a big deal or anything. I want a new Airbud with a pachycephalosaur playing volleyball

I’ll spoil this for safe measure (even though I worded it vaguely enough) about Jurassic World. Read on if you don’t care about spoilers:

Jurassic World had a horrifically drawn-out death that was totally unnecessary for someone undeserving of it. I get that the filmmakers were going for an “all bets are off and anyone can die by dinosaur” universe in World, but it seemed targeted to me because it was the first woman to die in the JP franchise.

It also occurs during a rampant dinosaur attack, and while other people are shown being attacked in the background, it’s minor, no one else seems to die during this attack, and the focus is on the 2 minute death of the character.

It was an uncomfortable thing to watch, and I’ve only watched JW once for that particular death, and because it just wasn’t a very good movie. Then I saw Fallen Kingdom and realized the World sequel franchise was gonna be hot and messy rear end diarrhea and I refuse to watch Dominion. I value the few remaining working cells and neurons I have left in my brain.


So yeah, you did good on not seeking out the other two World movies.

I don't remember this at all then I looked it up,

JP wasn’t originally conceived to showcase gratuitous dinosaur deaths, it was about escape and survival from dinosaurs. That was all thrown out the window once the World franchise debuted. They have been poo poo rear end butt movies since lol

It was a mosasaur (scaled up about three times too big). Ichthyosaurs look like fat dolphins and do not appear in the movies.

Also pterosaurs cannot grasp and even if they could they couldn't lift a a person.
