    Well of course. Oooh. Ahhh. Is how it always starts. But then later, there's running. And screaming.

    Except JP/// was Oooh. Then AHHHHHH! Then the running and screaming.

    So, more dinos winning. More people doing stuff other than r&s. And no gymnatsic routines. This ain't the Mesozoic Olympics people.

    I heard somewhere that Dodgson dies in the first JP novel.<<
    Whoever told you that lied cuz Dodgson is one of the
    main characters in the TLW novel. He does die at the end of that book though. I believe the T-rexs feed him to their babies (plural, theres more than one in the book)

    >>The last thing I want to see is another dino on dino fight. Unless it was a carnivore vs herbivore fight (i.e. something realistic) I'd rather they just avoid it altogether. <<
    Im pretty sure carnivores fought back then over territory or potential prey. In JP3 the people were being hunted by the T-rex and the Spino, which is why they fought. Each one wanted it to themselves. Dinosaurs werent very good at sharing.

    >>BTW what's with all the people asking for more gore? JP isn't a monster movie franchise (regardless of what TLW would have one think).<<
    I dont recall anyone asking for gore. In fact back in pre-release JP3 days when there were rumours of there being at least one really bloody death in the movie....I believe Cooper getting eaten by the spino and body parts or something falling on the plane...there were alot of people who didnt want that.
    If you are referring to we want more people dieing, its not cuz we want more gore, its just cuz we dont want the entire movie to once again be people running and dinos chasing them without the dinos ever getting anywhere. Keep in mind that almost everyone in JP3 who died (minus the people on the boat in the beginning, and Udesky who died not too long after) were killed within the first 5 or so minutes on the island. The rest was all running and screaming.

    jpark, Dodgson was the main villain in the book The Lost World and I really think that Universal should just adapt as much of this book as they can since the movie was pretty much a complete departure and they had some pretty good material go untouched.

    Hmmm.... Alex Proyas....

    "People once believed that when someone died, a mosquito took their soul to tha afterlife. But sometimes, just sometimes the mosquito could bring their soul back...."

    But right now Universal has kindof a free pass with me (I still don't tolerate utter utter crap, but they do get nontransferrable cool points on April 22nd)

    "When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't do that.... Well, you know the rest."
    Thanks, Universal.

    "You know, have them visit the island to see what else was being grown there."
    Ya, the info reds (I think I spelt that wrong) should show that the dinosaurs are decreasing in population rapidly, so they send a group of people to the island to find out whats wrong.

    *Ugh* make me retch. It's a good thing these are all rumours, or I might have to dismiss JP4 as another Star Wars prequel.

    Having some of the marine reptiles would rock, but I imagine it would make for a serious logistical problem (i.e. how do you contain large ocean going creatures). At least the pterosaurs had the aviary.

    The last thing I want to see is another dino on dino fight. Unless it was a carnivore vs herbivore fight (i.e. something realistic) I'd rather they just avoid it altogether.

    BTW what's with all the people asking for more gore? JP isn't a monster movie franchise (regardless of what TLW would have one think). I'd rather the writers go more in the conspiracy direction that was hinted at in JP3. You know, have them visit the island to see what else was being grown there. While we're at it, bring back Dodgson. He was such a great badguy in the books.

    Doesn't matter the size. They were on very limited places, and the dinos staked out territory. TLW had some herbivore places, and the T-rex area. Then they haded through the Raptors to get to the center. Being generous, they hit 1/3 of the island. No reason to even hear a Spino. I bet if the plane had missed the Spino, the T-rex never would have met the Spino.

    Now, whether they hit some TLW places in JP/// is unknown.

    I'm pretty sure every dinosaur that was on Nublar was also in some quantity on Sorna too. If we can go a whole movie and not see a giant like the spino, we can easily go 2 without seeing a small one like dilophosaurus.

    Actually, he didn't touch the actual wires. And stun guns today offer 30000 volts, which people survive through.

    I think the Spino was newly hatched when Sorna was abandoned and the dinos released. So, it was never reported officially. Espeically if say, it takes a while to grow the Fin after birth (like antlers do.) So maybe they had it as a maybe dino, and turned out they were wrong. I just don't see the big conspiracy people insist brought it about.

    I also think all Dilos were moved to Nublar, so Sorna doesn't have any.

    Not so much. We never saw dilophosaurus again. We never really saw another Triceratops up close like we did in JP1(except briefly at the hunter camp in TLW). After TLW, we never saw Stegosaurus again. It can happen."

    Those aren't Spinosaurus, and we saw Triceratops & Stegosaurus in JP3.

    >>I just can't see a second T-rex Spino fight, because the main viewing audince will see a repeat, and not like it.<<
    News flash, every encounter in the past 3 movies involving dinosaurs that have been in previous movies have been repeats. Just altered in someway. As in adding more of them or having less of them. Ex: Raptor chases/attacks in JP, TLW, and JP3; T-rex chases in JP, TLW, and briefly in JP3 when they stumble across the T-rex eating the dead dino.

    >>"So I'm thinking we wont ever see the spino again in a JP movie."

    >>The kids acted realistic in JP?
    How can a girl hack into the extremely protected system of Jurassic Park and put it back online.
    And a boy survives electric shock from the high voltage dinosaur fence.
    So if there is a kid in JP4, I hope he/she gets ripped apart by raptors.<<
    Lex didnt hack into the JP mainframe; it was already up and running. All she had to do was find the right file.
    As for Tim, if people can survive being struck by lighting (which is alot more than 10000 volts), then he could survive that.

    >>Well, not every Sorna dino was on Nublar. So the chances of a second Spino is small.<<
    We dont know that. Keep in mind that in JP1, they never finished the tour, and even with the part of the tour they did get to go on, we only got to see the dilophosaur area, the raptor area, the T-rex area, the Triceratops area, and the herbivore area (with the brachiosaurs and the parasaurs etc.) The raptor and herbivore areas werent even on the tour. So there could have been any number of dinos on Nublar we dont know about.
    You are right about the spino tho. From the way they made it sound in JP3, it sounded like more of an experiment than an actual attraction they planned on putting in the park.

It was always there, just like the Ankylosaurs were. I just can't see a second T-rex Spino fight, because the main viewing audince will see a repeat, and not like it. Only overall plots can be repeated.

    Nothing official ha been stated on if JP3 is being ignored. All we know is Spileberg wishes 4 was the third in there series.

    If thye're any kids, I hope theya ct realisitcally, like in JP. No gymnatsic super heroes. No kid survivng 8 weeks on an island with giant meat eaters, who just so happens to excell at getting T-rex urine. Which Eric amdits attracts the Spino, who seems to ignore him then.

    Needless to say, spino was a bad idea and I think the folks at Universal know that too. So I'm thinking we wont ever see the spino again in a JP movie, let alone a fight with the T-rex. We'll see though.
    I've also heard that in JP4 they are planning to just ignore the fact JP3 ever happened. Which isnt that big of a deal; none of the JP movies really relate back to any events in the previous movies other than mentioning it here or there.


    At 11:51:34 AM on 7/28/2004, jpark_08 said:
    The spino was just a desperate attempt to make JP3 more interesting, instead of using the t-rex as a main dino for the 3rd time.
    I heard that JP4 wouldn't have anything to do with the events that happened in JP3. So if they ever make JP4 I doubt they will bring the spino back.

    It is just a movie. It's not that critical of an issue.
    But anyway, even without size, spino still has the arms which give it a serious advantage.
    I really dont care how they do it, I just want to see the spino dead, tho following the trend of the Jurassic Park movies (going thru the first 2 movies and not seeing a spino - I know there wasnt one on Nublar...that we know of. they never finished the tour ;-) - then all the sudden theres one in JP3. And the fact that other dinosaurs, like dilophosaurus, appear in one movie then are never seen again) they probably will just leave it out of the movie all together and just have the T-rex instead. No questions asked. That happens alot in this series


    At 9:29:54 AM on 7/28/2004, jpark_08 said:
    Ok... I think Dac is right now. But I still hope they will find a way to get the
    t-rex back.

    Maybe if dinosaurs are dying on the island and there is not enough herbivores for the carnivores to eat. The carnivores will be forced to eat each other. eg. The
    t-rexes know they can't take down a spino by themselves, so they team up on it to get the food they need.

    I quess it will all depend on the plot.

    "But still, no one is going to view the T-rex any differently if they attack together. "

    Oh, trust me, they WILL

    "Supposedly, the Spino is bigger anyway "

    Pff, like hell it is. I looked them up in a magazine; the only complete Spino skeleton found thus far had the largest skull of any found, thus implying it was the most developed. And (prior to its destruction in WW2) it was SMALLER than a Tyrannosaur's standard skeleton. Catch my drift?

    "so it would be more fair. "

    How do you explain fair to non-sentient creatures?

    "Think about it: the spino has the advantage of being bigger and having arms it can actually use to fight with."

    I explained the bigger thing. But in this point, you're right about the arms

    "I seriously doubt anyone would view the Rex any differently or even really care if they attacked in a pair or more."

    Unless they were a pair or more, I KNOW people who would think the producers are trying to degrade the Rex's image

    "In fact, I think theyd enjoy the already established king of Jurassic Park reclaiming his thrown from the big-finned imposter."

    It's 'throne'. Thrown is the past tense of throwing

    Unless there were 2 adults and a young one or 2. Like Sarah said in TLW, we dont know how long the parent Rexs keep their children around...or how big they get before they go out on their own. Probably pretty close to full size.
    But still, no one is going to view the T-rex any differently if they attack together. Supposedly, the Spino is bigger anyway (tho in my opinion, if thats a fact then it cant be that much bigger) so it would be more fair. Think about it: the spino has the advantage of being bigger and having arms it can actually use to fight with.
    I think it would be ok if they had at least 2 rexes fight the spino, and I seriously doubt anyone would view the Rex any differently or even really care if they attacked in a pair or more.
    In fact, I think theyd enjoy the already established king of Jurassic Park reclaiming his thrown from the big-finned imposter. ;-)

    I would have to say that raptor2000 is right. Think about it... In JP1 two raptors attacked a t-rex and lost. But we don't view the raptors as being weak because of that.
    Dac is right about the mating thing though. So you wouldn't see three t-rexes together anyways.


    At 4:02:43 AM on 7/27/2004, Dac said:
    But raptors DID hunt in packs. Rexes were solitary except in the case of a mating couple. And if one Rex gets beaten by a Spino, then one Spino gets beaten by TWO Rexes, people will think Rexes are so weak they have to gang up in order to beat an overexaggerated freak

    People dont think the raptors are weak and they always attack in packs of 2 or more.
    It's not that critical of an issue. No one would care if 2 or more rexes attacked. In fact, theyd probably enjoy it. Like jpark_08 said, it would bring back one of the aspects that made JP1 so great.


    At 6:39:59 PM on 7/23/2004, Dac said:
    Nah, that'd be crap. Then people would think the Rex was weak and if it was only two or one they'd get the shit kicked out of them. No, one Rex kills the Spino. And ONLY one Rex. That's good

    Thats a pretty good idea, to see three t-rex's kill a spino. That would bring back one of the aspects that made JP1 so great. Also, it would be pretty damn kool to watch.

    I thought the T-rex chase in TLW was cool....altho if it could almost catch the Jeep in JP1 then it could have easily caught those people running in TLW. But I agree that it is getting extremely old. About the trikes killing a rex...I dont know about that. I dont want to see another rex die. Maybe they could kill the Spino....alltho I personally want to see a rex or 2 (or 3 or 4) take out the spino. That would be awesome.


    At 10:10:11 AM on 7/23/2004, jpark_08 said:
    JP4 needs like a group of triceratops taking down a t-rex or something. And your right about the running thing, its getting to old.
    The only time i liked it was in TLW when they were being chased by raptors through the fields. :)


    At 1:12:35 AM on 7/23/2004, raptor2000 said:
    Or a triceratops or stegasaurus actually killing someone would be cool. This prolly sounds a bit satanic but oh well: JP3 didnt have enough deaths in it. I mean there were only 3 onscreen deaths. I guess thats understandable since there were so few ppl to begin with, but like in JP1 and even in TLW, there were lots of them and most of them werent pointless. Keeping the movie good, they definately need more deaths (and less running) in JP4

One question: Since mosquitoes don't swim (not adults anyway), where do you get marine reptile DNA?

He was good in JP1 as a kind of secondary character to Neill. I didnt like him in JP2 as the main character.

    Think about it....Its not going back to the island. And theres no way they will do dinos in the city again.
