    Nedry left a calling card that said "hey guys I did the crime it was me"

    He is bad at espionage/sabotage

    No he didn't.

    His automated cartoon is a mechanism of his security protocols.

    It's only activated once Ray Arnold tries breaking through his system.

    That's not what the computer does. It doesn't allow them to log in and taunts them. An alive Nedry could very easily argue that not allowing random people to gain control of the park at will is the most important part of his job and it had nothing to do with the park shutting down. That was a power failure or (bullshit, bullshit, bullshit).

    Except a single point of failure in their infrastructure like that should be a fireable offense. Sam Jacksons' character or hammond himself should have absolutely had a root or override key to bypass. Which I think they kind of get at, in that it was an unapproved level of security that directly spits in the face of transparency.

    Even long after Nedry was gone they didn't know what he'd actually done did they?

    I think Dennis Nedry would have always built a backdoor through whatever he offered Ray Arnold and/or John Hammond.

    Dennis Nedry was always going to leave the option for theft open for himself.

    I'm saying, because of what was going on while he was gone, even if he had succeeded he would have been fucked because he was a spiteful little shit and tried to cover his ass by burning down the house.

    The bigger issue, in terms of people who die in Jurassic Park, is that the park's chief engineer, a prominent systems/planning programmer, and its game warden are all eaten in a weekend.

    Tourists are cheap.

    Good staff are hard to replace

    I've always thought, based on Nedry's complaints, that staff is the one area where Hammond didn't follow his "spare no expense" philosophy.

    If covid-19 has taught us anything it is that good staff are easily replaced.

    tonight I rewatched No Country for Old Men and goddamn is that thing just unimpeachable

    Javier Bardem's stupid-ass haircut is one of my favorite bold choices in any movie, he basically spends the entire movie challenging people to say something about his hideous hair

    Decided to watch The Whilloughbys on netflix because I am 10 and like pretty colors and cartoons but also it's kind of great?

    It's got a fun animation style and art direction and it's just fuckin weird man.

    Like, the whole premise is these kids send their terrible parents on a fake vacation to deadly places with the express intent of then dying. Also I'm pretty sure the parents in this are siblings and boy they had a blast making every single moment they're on the screen just the most uncomfortable thing ever. Ots exactly my kind of bullshit.

    The only downside so far is Ricky Gervais is the narrator so you have to listen to Ricky Gervais narrate. They counteract this somewhat by having Terry Crews say Terry Crews things.

    No Country For Old Men has one of my favourite endings of any movie. The last line, the expression on his face, the devastating cut to black at just the right moment - god it gives me chills just thinking about it.

    A Serious Man and Barton Fink are up there as well. Those dang Coens are good at enigmatic, unforgettable endings.

    the dialogue and accent work pops in it

    when I saw it in theaters, I just kinda sat there and decompressed for a few minutes after just to deal with the impact

    and then I did the same thing with there will be blood

    what a fucking year that was

    Fuck did I sleep on all the Jurassic Park talk God Dammit!

    My favourite thing about the book is Lex only character trait of asking everyone to play a little pickle at any given moment

    Did you at least talk about how in the book they don't keep a stock of hunting rifles, only GRANADE LAUNCHERS and BAZOOKAS because that is a how child assumes one deals with Dino's.

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    I am very skeptical about Michael Crichtons claim that the bone structure of dinosaurs is dense to the point of immunity to small arms fire thus necessitating a stock of RPG launchers, I bet a load of 000 buckshot out a 12ga. shell to centre mass would make a velociraptor sit down hard

    Given that velociraptors maxed out at about 20kg, yes, they'd be pretty easy to put down. Even the bigger dromeosaurs or very large therapods would not have been invulnerable walking tanks (although something allosaur sized you'd probably need an elephant gun for).

    The armored dinosaurs like stegosaurids or ankylosaurids, though, they'd actually be pretty hard to put down without some chunky ordnance. But they were also herbivores so they're probably chill?

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    I dunno I'd like to see some empirical data on all this, elephants are fairly large and doughty animals and the commonest tactic for poaching them is to drive up to one and blast them with AKs until they fall over

    Most likely, yes.

    Velocipators are lil' babby dinos, though.

    A Stegosaurus is just going to get more pissed off if you shoot it with a shotgun loaded with buckshot.

    A Tyrannosaurus would likely not even notice it if it is already rampaging.

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    I dunno man I bet a pickup truck full of dudes with AKs would be an effective and really sad way to kill a tyrannosaurus

    If the beans are going fast enough to enter and rip up your body to any degree well shot placement is key as always

    Beans are really not particulary small or massless so far as projectiles go, a .17 bullet is just an itty bitty little thing and will surely kill you dead if you get it goin fast enough and put it the right place
