Jurassic GAF |OT| The Park is closed, the World is open

I liked the JW kids and kids in Jurassic films in general.

Without them, it would have been very easy to turn this franchise into a SyFy original. Let's be honest, the reason kids are drawn to "the heroes" is because the kids are there to sort of tie them down and keep them "relatable" rather than being grimdark edge lords fighting over the hot bimbo in an eventual physical altercation where the dick walks off to sob and gets chewed up.
 
I generally reject the idea that "x type of person exists in real life" is a good defense of a character. I've known many, many people who I would call absolutely terrible characters if they were in a movie as-is. In fact, I'd probably say that of most people I've known over the years.

I don't really agree with that. You can have good relate-able character's without kids around. That the child audience watching will still look up to. The recent Marvel films surprisingly don't have a lot of kids running around and do just fine.

It's a facetious statement but it's amblin and what Spielberg did then. Straying from that norm or going with a different director could have had completely different results and may not have even been marketed to kids etc.

It'll be interesting to see a Jurassic Park film with no spielberg involvement.
 
Speaking of Lowery, I was everyone's favorite incredibly awkward Jurassic World character for Halloween:

Anyone else get into the spirit with some Jurassic costumes or decorations?

Well then we technically had 3 official posters. Claire and Indominus and the mosasaurus were launch posters too.

Sure. But I dont want faces on the posters...the name alone would sell me on the movie.

I guess that what they were going for with Chris Pratt, trying to sell the movie with him on the cover.

I hope JW2 poster is just the logo.

I don't. Stuff like the Jurassic park 3D poster shows you can offer a bit more than just a logo.

I personally was always bored by logo posters. You got dinosaurs. Why not show that? Only time it made sense was 1, where seeing the dinosaurs was part of the surprise.

I hate that they ruined the JW poster by putting Chris Pratt on it. They should have kept the tradition of the other ones.

I mean, outside of the JP one they're all terrible, lol. The Lost World and JPIII posters ruin the simplicity that makes the original work well.

This Mondo will always be the GOAT though:

I will never get over missing that one by minutes when it went on sale because I didn't have a smart phone or Twitter to notify me. :(

Mother fucker. $60 and only 5000 copies? I need to order this like now, but I don't have the cash. T_T

...And I grabbed mine. Glad I didn't spring for the expanded JP score earlier, and I've never had TLW.

Yeah, I guess it makes sense as a collectors item, but mostly that just makes me want to hoard my discs when I'm trying to get rid of physical as much as possible 0.o At this point the only CDs I'm going to own *are* La-La Land complete score releases (already got the music for Star Trek II, III, and V they did.)

On the plus side, while they are pricey, they're absolutely great products. Nice design, great liner notes, and they do sound great if you've got the cans for them. Plus unless it's in sets like these you never see the little cues that normally get lost.
 
I hope they're the same exact boots so it's more connected to my childhood which will make the movie better

The boots should have decals of Laura Dern's face on them

The comments about Zarina or Morgana from that Camelot show or whatever her name is and her death in JW always were hilarious to me, because if we're playing the "didn't deserve to die horribly" game with Jurassic Park what about Eddie Carr? His reward for being the voice of reason and saving the heroes' lives is to get ripped in two on-camera.

They complain it's drawn out and unnecessary and you even had your sexist claims, but folks love grasping for straws.

Me, I need one "holy fuck" death in a JP movie, the first two started the tradition. JP3 didn't really have one IMO.

It's nothing about characters "not deserving to die". Anyone can die, it's a monster movie. There's a reason people generally don't call Jurassic Park racist for killing a black guy who also didn't "deserve to die". Zara's death was straight up torture porn (that lasts far longer than Eddie's death) built to please the audience because the movie expects the audience to see her as deserving. The movie very plainly frames her as unsympathetic because of her not paying close attention to her boss's nephews that got pawned off on her and daring to be more concerned with her own life than some teenagers she never met, which is pretty damn problematic as far as I'm concerned.

She didn't get the Eddie treatment, she got the Dieter, framing and intent and all.

It's not grasping for straws. Especially since the movie's representation of women in general is already poor, is loaded with sexist tropes, and Trevorrow himself has shown himself to hold sexist opinions - see his interesting opinions on why female directors are so rare in blockbusters films (according to him because women just don't want the jobs badly enough and that's it). You can't just flat-out blanket-dismiss any argument the movie is flawed in this regard as "straw grasping".

But then we've already had this argument 3 times anyway. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I wanted to use copyshrug at least once, ok?

OG JP had a few, though. Muldoon's death was particularly brutal for such a low rating.
 
Makes sense that Series 2 toys were supposed to tie in with the show but it's cool to know for sure.
I wonder if the game sequels like the Rampage Edition and The Chaos Continues were meant to be tie-ins for the cartoon too. After all the Snes one had a cartoon-style intro and Rampage Edition had that strange, bright washed out style with thick black outlines as if to try to make it look like a drawing.
