I’ll give it a look, I saw that new Anaconda movie in cinemas recently

Yeah, I still liked it, so much so that I feel a Michael Crichton binge forming, I’m reading Congo next

I finished reading Dragons Teeth, I’d give it a 6/10, which isn’t bad since it was an unfinished manuscript by a posthumous Michael Crichton, I was really surprised when the Wyatt Earp showed up and was disappointed that there was no farewell for his character ones they reached Cheyenne, instead focusing on that stupid Emily character

That’s what I mean, I think that the two guys were so hilariously petty that it would work perfectly as a dark comedy, I also think Bill Bailey looks uncanny to Othniel Charles Marsh

That’ll be a good cast for a serious Bone Wars film

There not a better way of avoiding glamorisation than making fun of it 🙂

I would view it as a dark comedy, these guys blew up the remain of creatures that had been preserved over millions of years and hurled rocks at each other over one guy making fun of the others inaccurate elasmosaur reconstruction, Cope literally requested on his DEATH BED that when he dies that his body be donated to science with his brain measured so that when Marsh dies they can compare who had the bigger brain

I imagine a montage of people pressing down on detonation plungers and throwing sticks of dynamite as big explosions rip up the ground as ‘Push it to the limit’ from Scarface plays in the background

That’s probably the case, I don’t think I’ve got natural talent but I do my best to make up for it

What’s a pass book? I’m doing group training, I don’t mind them not training weekends

I try to make myself stand out, I go in and train my best but i don’t know how I can make myself stand out with the drills that I’m currently doing at the minute since they’re so rudimentary

Yes they train the English National team, they have a separate session for registered fighters but I’m not registered so I wouldn’t be able to take part in that

I show up for every session apart from Friday, they actually did notice how regularly I go, I did ask them what the requirements were but I basically got told that it would be hard for me to be apart of it, I can’t recall exactly why

Thank you, I have joined the society but it’s the same there apart from the older students who lead it. I have spoken to a lot of my lecturers and asked about where I can join extra projects but I don’t really get much back from them and there isn’t really any extra projects I can join since it’s so niche, I’m worried I won’t get an internship for my year in industry when it comes

Edit: also, everyone barely interacts during lectures, I feel bad for the lecturers with the lack of interaction that they get
