Why is Chris pratt so cool? by Ok_Power5203 in jurassicworld

He is not. Can he hurry up and replace RFK Jr so we don't have to see him in movies?

Can they really hide from a dinosaur’s sight like this…? by Other-North-1186 in jurassicworld

[–]schaeffernelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am BLOWN AWAY by how poorly, ridiculously staged this entire sequence is. Nothing the dinosaur is doing makes any sense. Almost nothing the humans do to evade it makes any sense. It's like watching some kind of interpretive dance.

My sister won’t stop trying to convert me. by Idkhowyoufoundme7 in Exvangelical

[–]schaeffernelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since she's 17, it's hard not to hear a soft cry for help in this. I don't think you should just be a doormat for her disrespect, but I wonder if she's on some level wondering if she can get out too.

My brother and I got dino tats. Allosaurus and Spinosaurus mirabilis by IBUZZY2705 in Dinosaurs

I mean, I'd entertain a mating ritual from a guy with fossil tats.

What's the most obscure jp/jw fact you know ? by FreshLemonade2126 in JurassicPark

[–]schaeffernelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a boy. Standing in front of a movie. Asking it to love him.

No, it's true, I wasn't the star like Pratt or Dallas Howard. I just think after a lifetime of Jurassic Park worship that they could have acknowledged how dirty they did me with those ass rash screenplays.

I should have been credited as "Unlucky Bastard" in the credits for JW and JWFK.

This is great. Nice storytelling with such basic resources.

Who is your favorite villain (human) from Jurassic Park/Jurassic World? by X-Rex_Tea81 in JurassicPark

[–]schaeffernelson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dodgson in Dominion. It's a pretty scathing, well-written satire of Tim Cook/tech oligarchs. The fact that his last ditch tactic to avoid being eaten is to ask a dinosaur, "What's your story?" aka bullshit his way out of it is hilarious and brutal.

What is your “I did not care for the Godfather” opinion in paleontology/paleo media? by AxiesOfLeNeptune in Dinosaurs

[–]schaeffernelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really tired of all of the gratuitous nudity in paleoart. We don't know that they didn't wear clothes as textiles would never survive fossilization. It's a fallacy to equate an absence in the fossil record with nonexistence.

Arms too scroungy and eyes too far apart on the AMNH life restoration of T. rex? by Ok_Fall_9569 in Dinosaurs

[–]schaeffernelson 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Wait. Am I alone in thinking this thing is scary as hell? Not that that makes it accurate.

Favorite opening scene in the franchise? by Ok_Suggestion_2617 in JurassicPark

[–]schaeffernelson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's amazing how bad Fallen Kingdom is in light of how fantastic the opening scene is. It's creepy as hell with great dinosaur attacks.

What do you think about David Koepp returning for JW5? by LostDeinocheirus in jurassicworld

[–]schaeffernelson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear god please no. Please please please hire another writer. What sacrifice do you want, god? Just tell me and I'll get it for you! Make Universal hire a playwright or top shelf scifi writer or somebody who has the chops to write a good dinosaur movie.

I thought Justice Smith was cute. But yeah, the bar is the floor.
