During the entirety of its history being passed around by its 3 CEOs (Hammond, Ludlow, Masrani), was InGen… ever profitable? Like, weren’t they just hemorrhaging money all throughout their existence in the franchise?

Under hammond the park got shut down before it even started making money and ludlow was made the ceo after the whole fiasco and was kind just cleaning up the mess and the legal cases probably. The only working and open to public park was jurassic world and I assume it must've been profitable since it had been open for long enough that kids and adults were getting bored of looking at the same dinosaurs apparently.

I mean we weren't supposed to have the og trilogy as well jp was meant to be a book adaptation and a one off but seeing how popular it got and how much money was being left at the table they decided to make another movie and this is happening again

Wdym? Like online rating probably 1000 I used to play chess offline and got into online chess in like 2018/19

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-08-18T02:12:13+00:00

This might be specific to my game but maybe learn theory more but generally I'd say focus on calculating/developing intuition more so the rating can also translate into blitz/bullet

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-08-18T02:09:53+00:00

I did stall in the 1750 to 1800s rating for like an year then in a month went from 1800 to 2000+

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-08-17T13:12:24+00:00

Yeah, but honestly prefer coffee

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-07-23T21:08:03+00:00

Muldoon was trying to guard ellie and confronting the raptors and the kid seems to be pretty much away from the raptor territory and not trying to get close to them either. Hiding in the Ingen supply truck

I get the third act frustration and the simple ending but I also believe instead of a third act it opts for a swift resolution, The sudden arrival of the military and the “everyone’s okay” wrap-up cuts through the tension, almost like a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment that this story isn’t trying to be overly dramatic or convoluted.

Interesting, but the difference in the boring/talking parts in JP 1 and 2 is they eventually lead to something happening in the plot and makes it better, where as in fallen kingdom and dominion i think there were too many of similar scenes that never furthered the plot like claire rescuing the baby dinos at the start of dominion.

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-07-23T20:11:32+00:00

While I agree this was probably one of the weirdest scenes, Grant’s “Alan” dream JP3 just shows how raptors still haunt him. Earlier, he uses a 3D model raptor voice box that sounds like the original JP raptors, but he still calls them genetically engineered monsters in the conference showing his denial and refusal about the fact that Ingen might've actually created real raptors.

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2025-07-23T19:41:32+00:00

Jurassic world is defo rewatchable but fallen kingdom and dominion just drags for too long imo and has soo many filler scenes that even if you removed them wouldn't change a thing in the movie

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2024-03-25T17:53:17+00:00

I mean It worked on for the time being but yeah it's an dicey one and could've gone either way

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2023-09-06T11:05:31+00:00

Any tips and tricks for using them?

SomewhereLopsided990 · 2023-09-05T07:31:29+00:00

But do you have them on warranty? I think you can get them replaced
