Guys I wouldn't waste any more time or keystrokes on vinsfield. If vinsfield wants to show his ignorance to the world around him, by all means go ahead. All it says is how stupid and uneducated vinsfield actually is. Australia is only the second highest per capita users of puters in the world.

JP3 earned $3,742,739 down here in Australia in it's first week. It more than doubled the takings of the no.2 film (A Knight's Tale). Infact, more than 1 in 3 ticket's sold were for our dino pals.
I've seen JP3 twice in the first week, and hope to go again over the weekend. How unreal is it?! I love Joe Johnston's take - I hope he directs the fourth, and if the rumours are true it'll be good to see Vince Vaughn again too.
Take care...

lol at bw_dave, yeah us aussies are lucky to even have a scrappy little mac computer, NOT! i don't know why the hell USA (and other countries) look at Australia as they do, we have cities and technology just like the rest of the world. Sure our cities aren't as big or as tall but if you ask me, that is a good thing considering we have less air polution then USA and other countries.

Thanks lworld - that would most certainly explain the difference in look!
Vinsfeld, as for us not being able to afford computers... well I write these posts on a piece of paper and send them to a cousin in the USA. Then he posts them for me, using that newfangled pooter of his.

The seats of the Senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the second year, of the second class at the expiration of the fourth year, and the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen by resignation, or otherwise, during the recess of the legislature of any state, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.

If after such reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a law.

I'm sure that many other Nintendo loyalists, like myself, would be feeling very happy right now. I'll be the first to admit that during stages of the N64's life time I was wondering if Nintendo were ever going to get back to their former glory days when they ruled the video game market. I was annoyed by the lack of 3rd party support and was wondering if ever it would all come back... Guess what people, I think it has! For the last couple of weeks in magazines and here on IGN there has been a surge of support for the GCN and on the other end, a lack of support for the PS2. Former PSX exclusive companies are jumping ship to be part of the GCN. We're hearing about Tekken, Ridge Racer, Capcom games, Koei games and many many more developers choosing the GCN as the platform for their next generation titles. We're also seeing many PS2 ports (eg. NBA Street, Dave Mirra) being upgraded and polished before they hit our glorious lil' beast. We're seeing a trend of developers formerly developing for the PSX coming out with comments like "To survive we think we must release our titles on all next generation consoles" and "We are looking at the GameCube as a main contender to be the platform on which we release our next titles".
For Nintendo fans, the world is looking a very happy place. It's quite obvious developers are ditching the PS2, the PS2 has no built-in multi! player (which proved to be so popular with the N64), it's architecture is hideous -a nightmare for developers and it has a lack of RAM to fully realise all its capabilities, they've got the same control (talk about a lack of imagination, I mean they got the idea from the SNES pad in the first place!), they're trying to sell their system as an entertainment unit even though no one actually buys/is going to buy it as an 'entertainment unit', their games were no match for the GCN's and some of the graphic quality was worse than what is able to be done on the Dreamcast (namely Dead or Alive).... the list goes on. Nintendo, on the other hand, are seeing more and more support everyday from developers, their long time rival SEGA has even started developing for them, their console is a beast -"Powerful yet elegant", their games kick ass, their main focus is games, the GCN will be considerably cheaper, built-in multiplayer (what the hell were Sony thinking?) and the list goes on. To top it off it seems inevitable that Square is coming back to the Cube!
Sony obviously think they can do what they did last time round and still win the war. The rushed shipping of consoles and no multi-player is going to lead to lots of problems. What kind of idiot would leave out built-in multiplayer support on a next-generation console?? I mean how stupid would you have to be? Well, I think I'm rambling on too much but I could seriously go on for about another 100 pages! Anyway, time to wrap it up!
The GCN has not yet been released and already has a stack of encouraging signs and seems to already be dominating the competition while Sony seem to have nothing going for them except pitfalls and problems. Their only good point would be that they had the Final Fantasy games but I think it's safe to say we'll be seeing them too (if not exclusively). Nintendo are a company with many, many years of experience and it shows. That's why, come GameCube launch time, everyone will know what we already do: The GameCube has won the race, Nintendo are back on top!!

To answer bw_dave's question: A lot of JP3 was filmed on site on the Hawaiin islands or on the set, where a complete indoor jungle was "created". A lot of The Lost World was filmed in the redwood forests of California, which accounts for the different look of the two films.

Have to say that JP3 was more than I expected after following this very excellent site for about a year. Some of the reports that came in from the US after it opened seemed to be forgiving of the fact that it was a good popcorn film. This is what I expected and it turned out to be kick ass popcorn film. I'm a fan of JP and I think this installment to the series will hold it's own. If I want to see complex stories and characters with depth I'll watch Schindlers List.
Now I'll buy the DVD, and sit back and wait for JP4.

We're a simple bunch us Aussies, and don't require much to amuse us :) I heard a lot of bad stuff about the poor humour in this movie from US websites before I saw it, but it seemed fine to me and everyone else in the theatre.
Mind you, I found "mystery men" funny too, and apparantly NO ONE else liked that at all!

oh, when eric was tlkaing to grant about getting close to the coast i thought he said, the closer they get to the coast, the 'wetter' things get, but if he did say "worse" then well i don't get it. Hey i am in australia and i have seen Jp3 three times! so that would estimate me at putting in approx $35 to the JP3 australian boxoffice total. $35 comes from 3x my ticket which was $8.50 and my mum saw it with me one of the three times and her ticket was $11.50. $35 might be not exactly right, close though. :) all three times i saw it the cineam was quite full, each time the cinema was atleast half full. and people reacted positive to all the jokes each time i was there by letting off a mumur of laughs. ^_^
At 11:32:06 PM on 9/4/2001, bw_dave said:
hmm, thats good enough for me :) Makes sense really considering the T-Rex nest in TLW was pretty close to the coast.
Does anyone know if the outdoor stuff was filmed in the same place as TLW? It seemed to be quite a different environment, but that could have just been the lighting and stuff.

Yeah I noticed that too. But I guess Hammond was referring to the raptors' nesting sites, since they are potentially more lethal rather than the bigger predators, who can't really sneak up on ya the way raptors can.

Oh by the way I definitely preferd JP3 to POTA, but then that could be because I'm an old fogie, and the new POTA couldn't touch the original! :)
At 7:23:16 PM on 9/4/2001, bw_dave said:
Actually I was surprised how empty the theatres were when I went to see JP3 again on Saturday (note that this was the first Saturday evening that it was shown over here).
The few that were there seemed to have a great time though, and reacted positively to all the on-screen action/jokes etc.
I don't want to get too picky, but maybe someone here can clear this up for me ... didn't John Hammond say in TLW that the outskirts of the island were safer, but the interior had the carnivores? Yet Eric said that things got worse the further from the center you got.
