Now the big question is if the actual method used in Jurassic Park would actually work, and if we actually should. A similar question has been posed about wooly mammoths.

I read the article and the sample was seriously degraded, they were not even positive it was from a dinosaur. IMO it makes reconstruction less, not more likely.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
Quit poking holes in my narrative that letting children watch dinosaurs chomp toilet-dwellers in half is necessary for the future of humanity!

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
Yeah, and that's a big problem whenever the subject of samples comes up. Too degraded to do much of anything aside from perhaps putting it in a museum.Jaymann wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:30 pmI read the article and the sample was seriously degraded, they were not even positive it was from a dinosaur.

I get a weird feeling all this DNA and such chat leads to Hepcat necromancing Bea Arthur's corpse and using DNA to start a sex park.

Although wooly mammoth may be more viable. I can see it now:
MAMMOTH
Starring Mark Whalberg and Bruce Willis. With a cameo by Nicolas Cage.

Well at least I know who to blame it on when they do make it.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
Just think of an entire park filled with hepcats. You could purchase Monte Cristo sandwiches from a vending machine, and just spend your days feeding them from a park bench. Or make fart sounds and watch them fall out of nearby trees after they dislodge themselves from laughing hysterically.
At night, the gentle sounds of the hepcats yelling “I know you are, but what am I?” will delight your children. Even more thrilling for your young ones will be the baby hepcats that will walk right up to them and nuzzle them affectionately as they try to find a wallet or a loose clasp on their jewelry.
But one thing to remember is that feral hepcats can and will attack unattended pets if they think your furry friend disagrees with them about the quality of a tv show or movie.
Now depoliticized.

I will stand outside the fence and blast CW shows at them. It makes them run around all funny. Sometimes they run until they fall over. That's funny, too.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
I find the 30% issued by Rotten Tomatoes to be... accurate. This franchise is tired out.

Apparently this movie is so bad it has set the franchise back 65 million years.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
You know what they should do? Make a Timeline sequel where to go back and to try and stop the Jurassic Park project from being resurrected.
I still feel that the main reason why these movies have become so bad is that while the first two movies at least had some basis in research, these new ones have all but abandoned that precept. I wouldn't even go so far as to call these ones science-fiction, but science-fantasy. Then you bring the old-guard into these , and while they had defined roles in the older movies, here because they abandoned the precepts, they don't appear to serve the same role. The end-result is a movie series that is grasping at straws.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
A huge part of the appeal of the original was, first off, it was (loosely) tied to a well-written and popular novel, and second, seeing realistic dinosaurs like that was a novel experience. And the originals were stories about people. These later ones are Hollywood action flicks, and in an age where CGI is ubiquitous, seeing dinosaurs isn't particularly special.

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
I agree with your take almost completely. That said, I went with my 9 year old and we enjoyed it. My biggest disappointment is that we went to an IMAX 3d Showing. I expected 3D and (at the very least) an Imax theatre. Drove 90 minutes to the Quad Cities because the IMAX in Cedar Rapids closed. We didn't get an IMAX theatre (well we technically did but it was just a curved screen) and the only really good 3d part was the opening scene. The 3d felt tacked on for the most part. I was really hoping for a 3d dinosaur running at me or a 3d t-rex mouth chomping down but got very little 3d. It did give the movie some depth that was nice but it was very underutilized.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 2:43 pm A huge part of the appeal of the original was, first off, it was (loosely) tied to a well-written and popular novel, and second, seeing realistic dinosaurs like that was a novel experience.

As for the movie as I said, we enjoyed it. It was an action movie and a pretty basic script. It's nowhere near as good as the original for all the reasons Blackhawk stated but it was nostalgic and fun. The original cast was great to see. Story could have been better but it was interesting and things moved at a good pace. My major complaint was:

That sound of the spoon scraping over the can ribbing as you corral the last ravioli or two is the signal that a great treat is coming. It's the washboard solo in God's own

Re: [movie] Jurassic World Dominion
I haven't seen it yet, but my 10-year old is Jurassic Park obsessed. He binged all the movies and Camp Cretaceous before Dominion came out, and plays all the Jurassic Park videogames he can find.
My wife took him to see it since my daughter didn't want to go. When he came back I asked him what he thought and his reaction was, "Eh....I guess it was OK."
That told me all I needed to know. I'll catch it when it hits streaming.
