quote:Been a while since I read the book, but is it Muldoon or Sattler that wedges themselves into a pipe to escape the raptors?
I was definitely surprised they didn't film the scene with Muldoon under the Jeep
Also, it is obvious why they didn’t kill Hammond. Attenborough played the lovable grandpa so well. In the book, he was an a-hole and a bit of a conman.

Malcolm didn’t die in the book. He lived and was the main character in the Lost World novel
It was through outside pressure that Crichton brought him back to life for a sequel.
In the original release of Jurassic Park, Malcolm dies.

It is a great movie, but I wish they would have stuck closer to the book.
Malcolm dies.
John Hammond dies.
Muldoon survives.
Grant actually likes kids in the book and has a closer connection with them.
The river scene with the T-Rex in the latest movie is actually in the original book.
He becomes bed bound and slowly becomes more and more altered as he becomes more ill.

Jeff Goldblum’s character mostly vanishes after the first act. I get that a movie can only have so many leads. He just goes from ab interesting side character making thought provoking points to just sitting around wincing.

quote:Ok, but nowhere did he say anything in regards to whether the “gatekeepers” have any opinion on the current admin.
Not to be technical but he said the government
quote:Because I am not an idiot. :dunno:
But more directly, how exactly did you distinguish from my point?
It was blatantly obvious what his point was.
His response to me shows I am right.
quote:Sure, but that has nothing at all to do with what he posted.
You don't think the current administration and its fans think they're doing what's best for us?
How you so blatantly misread it is an indictment of how locked in on politics you actually are and how it alters your perception, especially on here.
quote:Ok.
Government is government.
Take it to the PT Board.

quote:I don’t think that is relevant.
You think they're happy with the admin right now?
He was referencing the characteristic of “knowing what is best for us” and using politicians as a comparable example.
His post has nothing to with whether the Hollywood overlords, as he calls them, actually “like” the politicians.
Thus he used “they are like”, not “they like”.

quote:This reminds me of Fahrenheit 451.
Entertainment won’t be one movie for millions anymore.
It will be films generated per viewer.
Language, tone, pacing, even narrative choices adapted to individual taste.
Mildred Montag, the media obsessed wife of Guy, who takes part in the shows designed to maintain her attention.
quote:Weird that this book is where my mind went, rather than A Brave New World of 1984.
She spends all her time watching interactive television, even wanting a fourth wall screen, and considers the characters her real family.
quote:This is all over the country in Democrat run cities.
So strange that brothas have taken over four wheelers from the native Louisiana Baw.
Philadelphia has a huge problem with this.
Big problem in Los Angeles too.
And Baltimore.
I can keep looking up cities if you want me too.
Yea, the argument that new jobs will simply arise after AI takes the other ones is flatout retarded.
This is due to more than just AI though.

No. But it’s not.
I would want this for a male or female.
There should be zero distinction under the law.
That is equality. Every American should be equal under the law.
This woman should know better.

The Au Pair who killed two people only got 10 years! And this chuck gets 10 for having sec with a 17 and an 18 year old?! That’s way out of proportion!
These are the penalties.
Everyone arguing your point in this thread would demand that a male who did this with a 17 and 18 year female be buried under the prison.
Sorry, this is 2026. Women should know not to do this.
Easily avoidable situation for her.
quote:I know, that should be automatic life in prison without parole though.
He'll get some time. It starts at 10 years and his lawyer will try to get it reduced from there. What a dumbass.

My experience has been the complete opposite in Colorado.
Western states for the most part are so much less trashy than the southeast.
The side of the highway was littered with trash.

quote:Why wouldn’t AI perform those jobs too?
The economy will evolve and new jobs will become available.
That is the fallacy of the “new jobs will just be created” argument.
This isn’t the creation of a new tech to replace an old tech.
This is the replacement of the workers themselves.

Arguing over minor leagues is dumb.
quote:Why? Just lock the doors while you walk 10s there and back to put it away. It is what Scruffy does with his 2 year old.
I’m not leaving my vehicle with kids inside just I satisfy people who are OCD about returning the cart when stores literally have employees whose job it is to go get them and bring them back.
No one wants to steal your child and they aren’t going to get dehydrated because they were in the car for 10s without it running.

Denver amazed me when I flew into there a few years ago.
Such a beautiful state marred by an amount of roadside trash that would put Louisiana to shame.
We need to more strictly enforce laws like littering.

quote:shite. As an adult, that is terrifying. :lol:
Wasn't there an episode where a woman goes to the mall and is shopping for her niece or nephews birthday gift? She arrives as the mall is closing, and she manages to get the gift. As she's leaving, she starts getting harassed or something by people in the mall telling her she has to stay because her time on the outside is over. Come to find out, she was a mannequin in the store that they let out or something but she has no recollection of that. She slowly starts turning into a mannequin, limb by limb as she is absolutely terrified. At the end, she fully turns into a mannequin.

Only works if it is a one time cost and not subscription based.
