I would like to go on record as stating

that the 3D printout of the Velociraptor larynx in Jurassic Park 3 is indisputably the dumbest plot device in 21st century cinema.
It's not bad enough that a 3D printer can make a perfect replica of a raptor throat based on a fossil scan, because God Almighty knows that soft tissue hardly ever survives fossilization. When was the last time you heard about a dinosaur's stomach or boner getting fossilized? Those are about as likely as a larynx.
No, the kicker is that once the larynx model is made, Alan Grant can blow into it like a flute. All of a sudden he's got a magical raptor mouth, and the raptors in the movie actually listen to the stupid flute noises the fake raptor throat makes. And their behaviors don't even seem logical, on top of that! Grant blows into it in what he can vaguely hope is a noise of calling for help, and the raptors run away.
It's a dark and noxious episode in the shit-filled fever dream of the movie, whose sole entertainment value is contained in exactly one minute of screentime.

At least it beats watching the Discovery Channel.

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

Okay think of When Harry Met Sally

But take out everything that could possibly give you a boner

and hear the nightingale, and long for me
do the perfect cast

age: five thousand three hundred days.

where are you hiding, the far side?
why are you hiding, darling?
