So am I the only one who actually liked Jurassic World: Dominion? The script is certainly not great, but it was so awesome seeing the core three legacy characters get so much screen time together (especially after the bait and switch that was the OT characters in the Star Wars sequels) that I really just enjoyed the film for the B movie schlock that it is. The plot is genuinely awful, but it's bad in a fun kind of way and the actual set pieces in between the exposition are all pretty damn well handled. Low key this has some of THE best practical effects in the series. They've really perfect the blend of AAs and CG, and I think plot hole culture is really holding back of genuinely great some of that stuff is. Again, I'm willing to forgive A LOT of plot BS when this actually FEELS like the original in some ways.
A note on the villain
People are going nuts over the lotus stuff...and yea, the lotus are over-used. That being said, I LOVED that it was actually a deep cut to BioSyn in the books. Having freaking DODGSON as the main villain just like he was in the novel was an unexpected treat, and his death being a callback to Nedry's demise was just such a freaking perfect chef's kiss moment to me that nobody's talking about.

I really liked this film as well; a lot more than you it would seem. Nitpicks aside (this includes dinosaur designs and using Dreadnoughtus instead of Alamosaurus; that being the sauropod skeleton from the first film), I think this is a decent note to end the film series on. Though there’s still Season 5 of Camp Cretaceous on Netflix coming out this July.
Good DVR night on Turner Classic Movies. Their airing the Wizard of Oz 50th anniversary show from 1998 that's got all kinds of old interviews with cast, film clips etc.
Fresh off a recent school trip to my regional theme park, my latest blog entry takes a look at the history and reasons for school amusement park trips. Did you know that at the early Disneyland Grad Nites that boys were required to wear a suit and tie and girls were required to wear a dress?
This is a truly stunning nighttime spectacular, Im glad to see Disney still has it after Enchantment and Harmonious.
In particular I loved how the show was framed around one’s life journey with birth, childhood, young adulthood, love, taking a wrong turn and missteps along the path of life (and Chernabog), death and the celebration of life.
Much better than Enchantment, and the flow of the shows is set up well unlike Harmonious which has lots of high peaks and low valleys in the show.
Plus the songs were a good mix of the usual nighttime show staples and some you don’t hear as often.
Last 4 Disney trips....
- stuck on I95 an extra 5 hours resulting in a 14.5 drive
- solo trip and meet up with @D Hulk and no issues (yeah!)
- airline said we arrived too late and wouldn't check us in for checked bags and had to book later flight
- power now out going on 3 hours night before we leave
Seems like a good time to pull this book out again
