The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

[Sharon&Susan]

Y'all were telling me how great an idea those Mickey Blu-ray sets were earlier this year (and btw all of these were released in the span of this year).

Raiders is the best. I will die on that hill.

Agree. I was an adult when it came out and we were blown away by how it kept building and piling on more cliffhangers. Hadn't seen anything like it before on the big screen. Sequels could never pack the same punch.

Same for the Pirates movies. The first was so unexpected that the sequels couldn't compete. You can only surprise people once.

Do kids even know Brontosaurus’s? It’s like they went extinct after Jurassic Park introduced the Brachiosaurus. Makes sense. They fill the same void and Brachiosaurus’s look more interesting.

The very definition of a miscellaneous thought! I grew up with a toy Brontosaurus, so I knew what they were. Honestly the Brachiosaurus always kind of annoyed me. I don't know why, maybe because they stole the Bronto's thunder?

Didn't the Brontosaurus not actually exist? Regardless, I’ve always preferred it to the Brachiosaurus. I’m always in favor of the most classic design.

I thought that too, but I just googled and learned it was reinstated. Brontosaurus is also a much better name for a dinosaur than Apatosaurus

I don’t know, that’s news to me! Jurassic Park will always be the blockbuster of my lifetime so those Brachiosaurus’s really won me over. Hard to describe to those who weren’t there the pandemonium that came with that movie especially if you were 11 when it came out.

My older brothers were 9 and 11 when it came out, so I grew up hearing all about Jurassic Park! Even now: family movie night, what's his nomination? Oh, the same as last time, JURASSIC PARK!

This always bothered me about the Pirates series. At the conclusion of the first one we see that for all of Jack's antics he was pulling the strings ever since encountering the Black Pearl. While I've enjoyed some of the sequels I've always wondered why they decided to portray him as only comical, with events happening to him rather than him manipulating situations.

This was in the replies. Not sure why it would come out this late after the release of the movie.



Here is a promo video from the company that created it.

I tried watching Raiders and I fell asleep.

This sentence just does not compute.

I think there is also something to be said for WHEN you first watch a movie.

Can’t argue with this. That said, I saw all the original Indy films as a young kid. I’ve always found Last Crusade a little sappy, as much as I enjoy it. Raiders has a grittiness and relentlessness to it that I still find thrilling.

Plus, Indy the adventurer, professor, & womanizer as depicted in Raiders — has there ever been a cooler male hero? A bit more fun in my view than daddy-issues Last Crusade Indy haha.

Anyone know what’s going on with the Hyperion queue space? The outdoor portion has been seating all week but today there are planters up around the entire area.

Best jump scene in a movie I’ve ever experienced, when they are trying to turn the power back on and the raptor hits the fence I think our whole theater screamed and jumped, myself included.

Hahah ok I’ll give it another shot. I don’t make it through a lot of movies these days.

Shouldn't this have been put up BEFORE the movie was released not AFTER it is being pulled from theaters?

PLUS it was the rare adventure movie that had a capable woman who the female audience could identify with.

Then we got the idiot screamer in the next movie, sigh. Such a letdown.

Sheesh. World wide leader in entertainment just can't figure things out...

Not to mention, the movie was irrelevant from day one. This is completely unnecessary and is not capitalizing on any kind of popularity.

Are they doing it for Make A Wish foundation?
