Wow, listening to that made me incredibly sad.

$102m for the weekend. Might be higher by tomorrow. The real crazy thing is Inside Out did $93+ and didn't hurt JW's business.

I think I literally laughed out loud when the lone raptor was "surprisingly" still alive and charged down the street to get back into the fight.
I disagree. I took it that for a short time the raptors decided to follow the other dinosaur because she had raptor in her and they identified with her almost as a mother figure and she with them. When the **** hit the fan and the t-rex joined in, the allegiance switched back to Pratt for their loyalty to him and protection of him.

I didn't think it was that odd, actually.
The only problem with that is the fact that the Raptors' allegiance changed back to Pratt BEFORE the TRex joined the fight...so it literally made no sense.
I didn't get how the Raptors were going to kill Pratt in the cage when he jumped out right before they did, yet somehow now they want to protect him.

I think they wanted to eat the other guy.

Pretty sure they were biting at Pratt as he rolled under the door.

I saw it as they wanted to get out. They could've eaten him before.

I thought they were sizing him up and stalking him, deciding if they should allow him to stay alpha or kill him, and as soon as he stopped standing his ground and ran away, they saw weakness and wanted to kill him.

It was okay. I guess I was expecting the "WOW" factor from the first movie but it's just not there anymore.

Went this afternoon with my boys and my father. It was big, ridiculous, and ridiculously entertaining. We all had a ball. I loved the throwbacks to the original. In fact, I felt like this film was paying homage to many of my childhood favorites:
  • Jaws: the giant tooth pulled out of the gyrosphere. Was practically expecting to see Ben Gardner's head pop out when Pratt extracted it.
  • Predator: Camouflaged reptilian killer hiding in the jungle
  • Aliens: Unit of Marine-like soldiers being monitored by an outside command center as we watch the team flat line one by one, taken out by a superior force of nature/science
  • Apollo 13: The command center was very NASA-like
The funny thing is, for the first hour of the movie I was absolutely thinking, "that place is amazing and I would TOTALLY go there" even though I know better. The park was very believable as to what it would truly be like if we had pulled off the science.

Saw it finally, and all you negative Nancys are crazy.

So how much do you think it would cost (flight and cruise included) to spend a weekend at the park and it's resort if this experience were available today? How much would you be willing to pay?

I'd probably pay up to $50k to hang out at that park for a weekend.

That's actually pretty funny, given one of the major messages of the movie.

You are trying to rationalized the behavior of a wild animal?

I liked the movie. One thing really bugged me though.

JW/Masrani employs numbskulls like the kid running the gyrosphere ride? And the obese security guy at the I Rex paddock?

I also think BDH's British assistant got f'd over royally. And it's 100% the kids' fault.

I tried to get ink the movie, but it just left me shaking my head. For example, when the Kids escape from a genetically modified dinosaur and decide to have a little giggle laying on the ground about how brave they were for jumping off the ledge. Or when the dinosaur talks to the raptors and then does a head nod towards the people to tell the raptors to attack.
Why would you shake your head at the kids? Maybe that is how they handle really big oh **** moments. Maybe laughter is how they handle and over come fears. Have you never laughed after something happening to lighten the mood?

You must have really hated How to Train Your Dragon 2 when the Alpha took control of Toothless and forced him to attack his friend and savior. Even when Hiccup was begging Toothless to wake up, the Alpha was able to take over his animal instincts.

1. Indominus RexHow Dumb Is She? The I-Rex is awesome. She outsmarts the security measures in her enclosure, plus Jurassic World's anti-dino security team, plus the CEO of a global corporation. She rips out the tracking device implanted in her back because, according to Owen, "she remembered where they put it in." I'm reasonably sure she'd score higher on the SATs than every human character in this movie. She's so smart she's really Jurassic World's hero, and the end of the film is less of a triumph of the human spirit that a tragedy about a brilliant creature being dragged down and destroyed by the world's ignorance.

You wanted me to explain thematics but then you forgot to respond. What's the matter buddy?

Are you more interested in taking cheap shots about pyschoanalyzing dinosaurs than discussing the merits of the film?

Looks like they lowballed the weekend estimates again, big surprise. $106M+, biggest second weekend ever, $400M in 10 days.

Waiting for that one guy to come say why those records are made up or meaningless.

And my expectations for JW were great. I felt let down it was just your everyday Hollywood blockbuster. It'll be forgotten in 1 year and put on the shelves next to Pacific Rim and Godzilla.


You suck so hard. All 3 of these movies were solid.

You should just stick to dramas or romantic comedies.
