I'm watching The Lost World and it's a good thing that Jeff Goldblum never gets attacked by the type of Raptors that kill all the unnamed characters and instead only ever encounters the lesser known breed of Fuck Around Raptors.
I watched Battleship at the weekend and holy shit what a pile of jingoistic, militaristic, poorly thought out, stupid shit that glorified recruitment poster is.
Alternatively, the Lost World is a nonsensical turdball bedazzled by a single gem that is a raptor getting triple salchowed through a wall
I posited an alternative universe where she says "hey you!" and in stead of looking at her for five seconds the raptor just pounces and knocks her straight off the beam to her death. Jeff Goldblum spends the rest of the movie dragging her almost-corpse around while Julianne Moore tries to teach him the importance of letting go.

I saw parts of it a year or two ago and thought wow this is silly
Richard Schiff in the Lost World is cinemas most mistreated character, the movie hates him, every character is sarcastic towards his technical expertise up until he dies a hero, saving them all. Richard Schiff dies screaming and alone, dismembered by huge lizards and nobody even cares

Oh jeez, I just looked up that bit and, uh... yeah, I forgot how horribly the dude goes out.

Just think of it as an adaptation of The First Contact War from Mass Effect.
I saw it after a few too many beers but after something else so it was my first horror movie after seeing horrors for real
Still I find it sad a lot of the stuff I have seen make horror movies seem silly and that's sad
Circling back to that clip from The Final Destination, yeah. "Horror" is ... fucking stupid. One of my friends keeps telling me that he heard from his other friends that The Neon Demon is one of the best horror movies to come out in forever and I'm like "tell those fuckers to watch Under the Skin."
Horror movies are generally anything but horrific. They might be thrillers with a lot of gore. They might be (unintentional) comedies with a bunch of pretty teens getting splattered. Scary? Sometimes. But horrific? Nah, not really. The best examples of actual horror I've seen recently are Under the Skin, Green Room, and the opening scenes of The Witch (which I need to get around to seeing the rest of). Green Room probably falls under "thriller with gore" more than horror, but that movie got to me. That's an actual horrific situation that goes beyond merely being thrilling. Nightmare scenarios where the universe gives no fucks about your plight? That truly scares me. And Green Room fits that bill pretty perfectly.

Well, against Quarians instead of Turians.
Nothing at all, no narrative, deserves to be as shit as that movie.
Like, the aliens in it suck. They are useless. They've got badass power armour and one of them couldn't kill like, a single sailor armed with a gun he was immune to. Fucking Jesus I hate that. What the alien spaceships cannot shoot down missiles? Cannot destroy a single human destroyer without getting mangled? Losers.

I always figured those raptors were so full from eating all the unnamed characters that they were just playing with whatever was left on the plate.

Pete Postlethwaite's character even softly makes fun of his death ten minutes after it happens.

The Lost World was my very first experience with "the book is different from the movie."
Although I honestly can't remember now which I liked better back when I was 12.
The book was equally as bad, although it was completely different from the movie. Like I don't think Malcolm had a kid at all in the book and I don't recall the dinosaurs making it to the mainland.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I remember liking the book well enough when I was 11, but yeah.
I remember sitting in the theater and thinking "Wait what he has a kid now?"
I also remember really liking the scene where T-Rex takes San Diego.

Um going to war for real is well one line told to me by my SGT
If it doesn't make the highlight reel it sure will make a great horror movie

I remember enjoying The Lost World the book a lot more than the movie, and I was in college then. But I fucking hate that movie. Spielberg is super hit or miss for me. I love Always, but I can't fucking stand Hook. I think A.I. is more good than bad, but I think Minority Report is terrible all around. Saving Private Ryan is completely overrated to me, but Munich was great.
I'm looking forward to see what he does with Ready Player One because that needs a major polish. It was a fun read, but it's by no means an amazing story.
It's from slightly past the "good years" but a really good episode nonetheless. "Skinner's Sense of Snow". Springfield gets a freak snowstorm and a bunch of kids get trapped in the school and revolt against Skinner.

I thought I knew that from somewhere!
At this point any time I think I recognize something from somewhere I should really just assume it's from The Simpsons

We have such sights to show you...

i haven't seen it and i want to rectify this.

The end of that kind of pales now that we've seen a similar stunt done live in TDKR.

Which part is this?
Which is to say stuff I have no interest in ever seing again.

It's pointless
The RV could have been dropped once they're all on the rope and nothing would be lost
Because that's what happens anyways and they're all fine
It's several "thrilling" minutes of wasting your time and then smacking you in the mouth at the end of it
And yes it means Toby dies for nothing

Well sure, no one can climb a rope. It's physically impossible!
I get up maybe a few feet and then I'm like "fuckin' hell man" and just drop to my death

You make it further than me.
I can't tell if you're being snarky or what but climbing a rope is fucking difficult.
It was a Simpsons joke.
