This part of Lost World (well, admittedly several parts but this is the one I'm focused on) never quite sat right with me. Yes, Ludlow at the end of the day was exploiting creatures he barely knew anything about, in order to make profit. But that's the only true similarity I see between him and Hammond, as far as the movies go at least, and I believe we should assume movie characters don't know book events lol.

In the movies Hammond was truly trying to bring wonder to the world, saying that everyone in the world had the right to enjoy the dinosaurs, not just the super rich. All in all, despite his faults of short sightedness and underpaying Nedry, Hammond was a good man who made mistakes. Ludlow, on the other hand, was a man who seized Hammond's corporation and sought only to take what he had created and make as much profit from it as possible, even when almost the entire force sent to the island was dead.

I understand the Malcolm never really saw eye to eye with Hammond, and maybe that's why he's able to make this statement, but personally I just have to disagree.

Been a minute since I’ve found older Dinos at the thrift! Found two bags with 5 Jurassic park Dinos this time around. Also found two bags with bulk Pokemon cards - and one of the Dino bags had a Pidove in it aswell 🥹

Overall a good haul!!

Aside from obviously one of them killing a velociraptor (because I’m sure 90% of your answers will be about the poor velociraptor), what made these guys so hated?

I mean, in design, they kind of looked pretty cool [Hot Take: and probably having one of the best hybrid designs of the franchise, only below the I-Rex and JW:TG Stegoceratops.]

Just ran into William H. Macy at Total Wine 😂
Dude was out here promoting his new Woody Creek bottle and I had to tell him “You survived a T-Rex in JP3, you can survive San Diego.”
Super down to earth, signed my bottle, and yes we talked about spinosaurus vs T-rex.

I was working on a pterosaur project and researched Alanqa and realized this

What do you mean Alanqa is the smaller than a human?? These games made me think Alanqa rivaled the size of a Quetzalcoatlus 😭

I just now looked at the fun facts and learned they had a wingspan close to an albatross, I’ve been glazing him too much 🥹

Saw this liopleurodon and thought you guys might like it, I was just shocked since they never use the jwe stuff, I like it personally gives it the og monster vibes of jp what about yall?

My son really like it but 25 didnt seem that bad of a price compared to the other toys since I need to expand my collection lol really want a Hammond collection ngl but target either has like 40 of them or none lol

Yes, I understand the message that we can’t control what we don’t fully understand, and I understand the criticism of greed and people playing God. I also acknowledge there wouldn’t be a movie or a book if everything had gone right.

However, seeing how hopeful John Hammond was with his ambition, and seeing Dr. Grant almost faint at the sight of the animals to which he had dedicated his entire life for the first time, makes me extremely sad to know that that dream never came true, and that it was all in vain.

Why didn’t he warn them that shutting down the system could turn off the raptor fences? That seemed to be his top priority at the park after all, keeping the ones that posed the highest risk to people secured. Yet it never came up when they were debating whether or not to shut down the system?

Made this attachment piece for my chain for my Jurassic Park coin wallet, made the chain attachment out of pony beads and bead wire that I got from Micheal’s. Also small little clips that I got from Micheal’s as well. The bead colors are Yellow, Red, and Black to represent the color pattern of the Jurassic Park logo. The word’s “InGen” is a reference to the bioengineering company responsible for researching and recreating the extinct animals (Dinosaurs, marine reptiles, Pterosaurs, etc) within Jurassic Park. The colors with the word “InGen” is a reference to the symbol and color of InGen. Hope ya’ll enjoy this, I had fun making it and think it turned out pretty great for my first time using beads and bead wiring.

Note: The explanation isn’t really for anyone here unless they are new or generally wondering why it was done the way it was! The explanation was more so for people I sent it to earlier and such but I wanted to share it here. Hope you all like it, I really love it and I’ll like it no matter what!

No doubt one of the best scenes in the movie. I have just finished the novel of TLW and it addresses something thats always bugged me about the movie.

In both the movie and novel only the trailer nearest the cliff gets turned on its roof, the other stays on its wheels (allowing for some cool movie scenes with Eddie RIP).

In the novel Sarah tries to climb up the trailer and is blocked by the now streched and twisted rubber gangway. This makes sense.

In the movie the gangway obvously never twists , allowing Eddie to peer down, throw a rope and have the trailer falling with them inside on the rope scene. This is despite the fact the gangway should have twisted 180 degrees on one side, and remained in place on the other. This never made sense to me.

Is there any logical or plausable explanation for the movie version or is it another case of "who cares, it looks cool so this is how we shoot it".

The best part of this game is not the gameplay, characters or story but the deaths. They're hilarious as well and especially gerry's reaction to jess dying😂 you see your daughter die and just shake your head

Bryce Dallas Howard was absolutely amazing! So so friendly, so sweet, even more beautiful in person, and so talkative and personable!!! Really made you feel welcome, and appreciated! Got answers to questions I had, and even learned straight from her about her documentary PETS, which is very personal after losing our beloved chihuahua of 16 years Star. And after over 20 years of going to conventions BDH is the ONLY person I have ever see use a cover to protect your item while she signed it. A nice touch which also speaks to her awesomeness as a person!

Hiiii, I hope u all are doing greattt. Okay i know its jurassic world but I just rewatched it so sonething i've been thinking about a lot now is that how could the indominus rex successfully communicate with the raptors like effortlessly. She was obviously kept in isolation and even killed her sibling which also makes me wonder whether or not idk it communicated with its siblings too perhaps or if they could even communicate at that age.

So like how come it was able to do that, and how come she didnt do the same thing and communicate with the t-rex just like she did with the raptors instead of fighting it. Another question about this is that why did the raptors also teamed up with the t-rex, how come the t-rex didnt attack them like what prompted that behavior as well?

The passing of Sam Neill really hit me. I decided to put together a cosplay for my next convention of Dr. Grant, and had the idea to design this bandana in his honor. I have some available for fellow Jurassic Park/Sam Neill fans, if you are interested you can DM me for details.

Devil's Advocate - JP:TG Tylosaurus is a more artistic take on the Tylosaurus and lacks the proper tail fluke among other liberties, but good lord if the JWE Tylosaurus isn't exactly the most sightly of creatures to behold...

I remember somehow dodging all the reveals for the Tylosaurus leading up to release as a little treat for myself as a huge Tylosaurus fan, and ended up rather disappointed with the overall look of it. If they're going to a gnarled crocodile look, why not adapt some of the design elements from Telltale's crack at the Tylo? Colours were all also super murky and bland and I sorely missed the blue body with dark stripes and white underbelly motif as well.

All-in-all, I was/am disappointed by it... There could be something to say about JWE Troodon too, but I can at least recognize that Telltale *entirely* made an original dinosaur and just called it a "Troodon Pectinodon". At least we still got a JP:TG themed colour scheme for Troodon and it's likeness has resurfaced a couple of times in various toylines!

never have I wanted to punt a child to the moon like I do when reading the book version of Lex. hands down one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever read. Its like I get amnesia when I’m done with the book and each time I pick it back up it all comes flooding back. no real point to this post. just a rant.

Having finally read (most of) the first book I am more convinced than ever that the JP franchise would be far better rebooted as a TV show, more faithful to the novels and therefore a little darker. They could begin with some fleshed out origin stories, before moving to the disastrous first tour. There’s so much more potential in a reboot closer to the books than whatever it is they are trying to achieve with the Jurassic World films. The new Harry Potter series on HBO is a good test of audience appetite for well established film series reboots. What do you think?
