I'm well aware of the juvenile theory. In fact, I agree with it. Not because of that quote, though. Nedry doesn't know much at all about dinosaurs, but he does know that there are very big, very hungry dinosaurs, and they're in the park. That prompts the comment. He's just glad he didn't run into a T. rex. ;)

Hay furtim, um, do you remember when Nedry is confronted by the Dilophosuarus, well, he sais, "I thought you were one of your bigger brothers" or something to that efect, using the word brother, I think this meens the dilo was a young one, not wrongly sized. Also, in general, just shut up, your real annoying to someone who's "half way to driving age" like myself, to quote Cuckoo, who I feel is right.

Cuckoo: There's such a thing as cut-and-paste. Maybe I'm not as smart as I think I am, but I still know about that. ;)
I'm also tempted to correct the placement of the parenthetical remark in my second paragraph. Very tempted. But I guess y'all are probably smart enough to figure out what I mean.

I was 9 when Jurassic Park came out. I was a huge dino fan at the time. I didn't think to complain that Dilophosaurus was too small or that the Velociraptors were too big. I didn't do any of the things I'm unhappy about then or at any point between then and now.
Perhaps I'm unrealistic in expecting other people to be as reasonable (quit that giggling) as I am. But that's their fault. ;)
I guess another part of the problem is that so many of the people who piss me off are one-post newbies. The guys who get in a moronic word or two, then skedaddle off into nothingness. They keep doing the same bloody things, over and over. God, please make it stop...
Cheetah: Yes, that's the correct, original entymological meaning. However, the word, in our modern society which is slowly exorcising religion from its daily rituals, has taken on a much broader meaning. Dictionary.com (hardly a proper authority, I know), for example, defines the word as "The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness."
Not that any of this matters.
Where am I, anyway?

You are misinterpreting the word hypocrite...people thought that review was phony because of its inconsistencies. Well, we have several bad reviews on this site and barely anyone complained about its value.

Just to pick on Furtim: you rewrote a whole paragraph for the sake of omitting a few words and quotation marks? ;-)
Another thing that you really should take into account here, Furtim, is that we have a wide range of ages posting here, from "older" gents like myself to kids that may be only little more than halfway to driving age by now. You can't really expect everyone to respond with the same kind of sensibilities or maturity. Instead of getting haughty about it, perhaps those who are older and/or know better should take upon themselves the mantle of leadership as educators, instead of being detractors....
At 6:23:36 AM on 7/16/2001, furtim said:
Okay, that first paragraph was terribly stream-of-consciousness, so it's gonna be misread. I wish I could edit to make the meaning a little more clear. Well, next-best thing:
I don't attack the true fans, I attack the self-deluded morons who think that they're paleontologists just because they're read a book or two and watched Jurassic Park. If you want to be a normal fan of the movie who doesn't complain half a billion times a day about how the movie can't be 90 minutes long, "because that's just too short", or how T-Rex isn't really gonna die, "because that just can't happen", I hate you. If you are in that group, you are useless. If you want to enjoy the Jurassic Park films for what the are without bitching about them until AFTER you've seen them, that's fine with me. Once you've seen the movie, you can say all you like about how T-Rex should have beaten Spinosaurus. Just don't tell me before it's released that everybody's either lying or deliberately tricking us and the Rex is actually gonna win, "because Joe Johnston would never, ever disappoint Jurassic Park fans by killing a T-Rex". You see the difference?

Cuckoo: I see your point, but it's tough not to assume that those people I referred to above make up the majority here, because they're such loud-mouthed assholes. Even moreso than me, sometimes. Rarely, but sometimes. Generally speaking, it's clear that I'm referring to those people instead of, you know, normal fan folk.
Mattman: If you're gonna take offence to someone just because they criticise a movie you haven't even seen yet, I'd say you have a problem. That may be what it means to be a fan, if you take it way back to the original root of the word (i.e., fanatic, which carries as part of its denotative meaning the lack of reason and judgement), but it's also very, very stupid. All I ask is that people be reasonable and use reason and judgement. I just happen to ask it quite a bit more harshly than you may deem reasonable, since nobody bothers to listen.
My message to all the fans: Don't add the "anatic" to your title, and I'm fine with you.
Stegasaurus: Am I at least succeeding?

"I am condescending, because I'm better than a good number of the people here." - Furtim
No, you're a moron who only thinks you're better than everyone here. This is a Jurassic Park fan page, and naturally the people on these forums are going to take offense to anyone criticizing JP3. Furtim, you have only proved yourself inferior to the people who visit this page, as you attack the true fans of this franchise. I would never presume to label someone better than another person, let alone myself, but as far as JP fandom, you don't belong here.
At 2:07:39 AM on 7/16/2001, md23rewls said:
I agree with you furtim. If there is a positive review, the fans of the film don't question it nearly as much as they would a negative one. And I beleive the reason everyone questioned the Home Theater Review is because it was the first real review out there, and some of the facts about characters were wrong. I count myself as a very enthusiastic JP fan. I'm not going to say stuff about the movie if I haven't seen it, and I'm not going to tell reveiwers how to think.

Never trust reviwers, thier all insane and mad. And, never trust people who say the reviewers are wrong, thier insane and mad to.

At 10:54:45 PM on 7/15/2001, Cuckoo said:
Furtim, for someone who thinks they are better than others, you sure make a lot of unwarranted assumptions about people and their motivations. If I think that a review or report is fake, I base it on things that I think are inconsistencies. If further proof is provided that explains those inconsistencies, then I reevaluate my position.
You claim that "Everyone said that he (the Corona reviewer) bsed the review and hadn't seen the movie." That's bull. It was pretty clear that there were some that thought it was fake and some that thought it was legitimate. Many people also thought that the Hometheaterreview.com review was fake, even though it was positive and came from a reputable source. Explain that as hypocrisy, would you? I would venture this hypothesis; some people are biased and only will believe what they want to believe, some people are skeptical of any reviews that come via internet, and some people may have felt like they had legitimate reasons for doubting the veracity of the reviews. By your over-generalization and broad assumptions, you do a disservice to others and show that, perhaps, your superiority is not so evident to anyone except yourself.

We'll have to see when the movie comes out about the Triceratops. It looks like furtim is another one of those people that tries to sound smart. I don't want to start any shit so you're still okay furtim.

Well, Ebert and Roeper didn't review it- not until next week- but now I don't know whether to read newspaper reviews the morning of July 18th! I'm debating whether to watch the movie and then read the reviews or vice versa. Ah well, we'll see...
At 10:28:49 PM on 7/15/2001, Raptor Strike said:
I'm pretty sure that Triceratops has a cameo. If it didn't why would it be on the size comparing chart on the official website?
At 10:19:22 PM on 7/15/2001, furtim said:
I am condescending, because I'm better than a good number of the people here.
I call these people hypocrites because they claim to want to know what JP3 will be like, but dismiss as lies anything they don't like. Say one thing, do another. Hypocrisy.
And no, I don't want JP3 to fail. Far from it. I'll most likely see it at least three times and perhaps as many as five, as I have done with the previous two films. I'll definitely buy the DVD when it's out. I love Jurassic Park, and I feel that the movie will be just as fantastic as it promises to be. However, I'm simply pointing out the fact that, as I mentioned above, a lot of the people who hang out around here have a tendency to claim that those who say what they don't want to hear are nothing but filthy liars, while those who give them what they want are not questioned at all.
Take, for example, that Corona review. It said that the film was only 90-some minutes long. It said that the Rex doesn't get revenge in the finale. Everyone said that he bsed the review and hadn't seen the movie. If the reviewer had claimed that the movie was two hours long and that the final scene was a battle between another T-Rex and the Spino, in which the Rex wins, noone would have said anything. You know it's true as well as I do.

At 7:00:48 PM on 7/15/2001, Cuckoo said:
Furtim, DrewSugar, exactly how are people being "hypocrites" for doubting some reviews and believing others? I wonder if you even know what "hypocrite" means...if anything, you could accuse people of being biased, and you'd likely be right. But all you accomplish by accusing people of hypocrisy is to present yourselves as condescending.
A movie like JP3 is going to get a wide range of reviews, depending on the critic's criteria. I doubt anyone expects JP3 to win best picture. But overall, the positive reviews overwhelm the negative reviews. There are positive and negative reviews that I think have dubious origins; but take away 1 negative and 1 positive review, and you still have a majority of positive reviews.
So, do you not want JP3 to succeed? If so, why?
At 6:44:07 PM on 7/15/2001, Stegasaurus said:
Well that's cool. I wish that Triceratops would have a good scene though because it sucked in the first one kinda and then it had like a good two second action scene. They could use Triceratops for something really good though like a fight.
At 6:40:44 PM on 7/15/2001, Mighty T-rex said:
Actually Stegasaurus, Triceratops has a small cameo in one scene. I think what Bob meant was that it doesn't have any scenes where it really does anything besides graze.
At 6:39:27 PM on 7/15/2001, Mighty T-rex said:
Guess what? I think that all the reviews are real. At first I thought the Robert Epstein one was fake, but on a closer inspection, it looks pretty genuine. And, from what I've read, JP3 has had better reviews than TLW, and is certainly getting many more good reviews than bad reviews. The movie will be completely excellent. I'm sorry to say it, but yeah, the rex dies. I'm a long time rex fan, and at first I was very upset about it. But I'm not going to take it too hard. The rex comes very, very close to killing the spinosaurus. Don't think for a minute that the T.rex isn't an EXTREMELY tough match for the Spinosaurus. It comes extremely, EXTREMELY close to killing it.
At 6:39:13 PM on 7/15/2001, Stegasaurus said:
I read that there was a Triceratops in the third one but I guess that was just stupid rumors. There is an Ankylosaurus though, seriously.

When u see this movie u'll be surprised how funny it is at some times and then 2 mintes later someone gets killed, its a good mix
