A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

[Pixieish]

How far they’ve fallen. Just the evening schedule is eye opening.

I really wish they'd start playing the original Wonderful World of Disney shows...I adored those as a kid and can totally picture my boys loving them too.

With the streaming service, there’s some hope.

Robotic stunt doubles from Imagineering. I can imagine a super hero show using the last one.

If Universal's catch-up to Disney includes doubling down on the Jurassic IP, at least they could have make a *good* sequel. World's plot points and dialogue were awful. CGI was good... so... screen based attractions would work here!

I agree, I thought FK was terrible. I really enjoyed the first JW as one of the few sequel/reboot films that actually succeeded and high hopes for the sequel. Now, I just hope the franchise dies if it's going to be more if the same.

And now we know why these construction projects cost so much. The are underwriting this research. But it is cool.

I read Jurassic Park last summer (haven’t read Lost World yet), but it’s kind of amazing how Spielberg & Co. took that book and made an even better movie out of it. Everything in that film still holds up today in 2018 (minus the computers, but what can you do). Unfortunately, none of the sequels have come even close to the first film. Minus the new one, I’ve watched them all. My dad and I hate watched 3 (it was on AMC, and we actively rooted for the dinos to win). JW was like TFA, in that it covered a lot of the same beats as the original, but despite almost copying the film, wasn’t as good as original. I just have no interest in seeing Fallen Kingdom.

Now, if JW:FK means getting more Jurassic Park attractions in Orlando, then I’m all for it. Just don’t really want to see the movie.

I thought the opposite, that the book was much better than the movie. However, that is the me of 25 years ago who hasn't read the book since, so a more up-to-date reading may be in order sometime. I started Lost World but never finished it.

That's okay. It was evident the writers never finished the script for Jurassic World, either.

Now if only we had gotten decent adaptations of Congo or Sphere...

The tween shows are awful.

When I was at WDW a couple of weeks ago, I caught some show about some Irish guy playing video games while there were weird special effects in the background. I still don't know if it was a late night hallucination or not.

FK was so much better than JW...this one actually had a child star that could actually act as well as the edge of seat factor that the others since Lost World have lacked.

The biggest issue was the villian and the key to all the issues points to Trevorrow who wrote the script...Thanks a lot Frank Marshall, Speilberg, and Kennedy for trying to make him a thing,

Or perhaps Peter Pan or Jack Sparrow...

You were at Raglan Road. Go home. You're drunk.

FWIW, I'm in a movie with Jim Gaffigan. I just play the back of the head of the real actress, but still.

Reminds me of seeing one of the SW Prequels in the theaters. Someone was talking during the 'opening crawl' and another person said 'Quiet, I'm trying to read'....

Folks, enjoy it while it lasts.
