Jurassic World (June 2015)

Let me get this straight.
You don't have a problem with reconstituting a dinosaur from DNA in the blood from stomachs of mosquitos that were trapped in amber for millions of years, but you have a huge problem with a girl running in heels?
Can we have a frank discussion here about relative unlikelihoods?

If I had a problem with the first part I wouldn't be watching the movies. I just think the running around the forest and then away from a t-rex all in heels is dumb that's all. I wasn't talking about the probability of either of them happening. It was just a minor thing that I noticed and really didn't detract much from my enjoyment. Just my opinion, sorry that I seemed to have upset you.

If I have to suspend a little belief for dinosaurs I also have to suspend belief about women's feet and shoes? weird correlation.

Same deal with the Walking Dead, heated debates on where they can still find diapers, no question as to why there are zombies.
 
It is funny the little things that people get hung up on, but I get it. There are almost always some ridiculous premises you have to accept when watching Sci-fi, but a certain lack of detail makes it seem sloppy and poorly thought out.

Every college student knows that the zombie apocalypse is not a matter of if but rather when; every parent knows that running out of diapers is the only possible thing that could be worse.

This exactly. Just seemed weird to be running around in heels.
 
When they had that conversation about her heels and the camera panned to the ground I totally thought it was gonna end on her heels that she had taken off.
 
This was a fun movie. I'll watch it again for sure.

Chris Pratt trains dino's = believable
Woman runs in heels = GTFOH!

Also, teenager in 2015 can fix a jeep sitting for 20 years. That's less believable. The kid didn't even refasten the hood. Rant over.

In defense of Bryce Dallas Howard - I saw an interview with her, and she said she trained for that - ankle strengthening exercise and lots of practice so that she could run without falling down and looking stupid. You should see her calf muscles when she flexes them...dancers' legs. Ever looked at a ballet dancer's legs? They do all kinds of crap on just their toes.

However, I'm pretty sure the heels were lower during some of the action sequences.

Want to see this movie badly, but am always scared to see any of the blockbuster action flicks anymore ever since they've all turned into some form of ridiculously over-the-top CGI ******* matches. No joke, Michael Bay has been the worst thing to ever happen to action movies. Now don't get me wrong, I'm okay with some level of CGI, and I realize that a movie like Jurassic World is going to require some level of it, but the extent of it is key. I'm just done watching blockbusters that seem to be one continuous out-of-this world impossible action scene, where there seems to be a contest as to how many things they can blow up. This is all while laughing at the idea of any type of plot. With that said, for those who have seen this, am I going to be disappointed yet again?

P.S. Apologize for the rant. Maybe the 20th last straw for me was when Michael Bay absolutely pulverized my beloved TMNT franchise to a lifeless pulp and I'm still licking my wounds.

The Hobbit movies are a perfect example of this. Some of the scenes in that seem like the only point is to go crazy with CGI.

Haven't seen the Hobbit movies but I'd almost find some movies to be more fun if they found an interesting way to have the special effects be rubber suits, etc. like the older movies.

There has been some discussion in less populous corners of the Internet lately on whether ballet is "a sport." Maybe it isn't a sport, but goddamn the things they can do are amazing. They are definitely athletes.
 
My girlfriend pointed this out the other night...

Progression of Jurracis Park Movies - Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 2, Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic World

Progression of Mario games - Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario Galaxy

The only logical assumption here is that next we can expect Jurassic Park Galaxy featuring genetically engineered dinosaurs in space!

I can fully get behind this. Chris Pratt has that role handled. Intergalactic outlaw and a dinosaur trainer? Just take my money now.
 
I imagine it going something like this..

Nothing where success is determined by a judge is a sport.
