No Jurassic Park 4

Maybe he isn't religious. Some people aren't...it doesn't make him a bad person or a Satan worshiper.

And there has to be a Satan for one to worship him.


Anyways, since that has absoloutely nothing to do with the movie series...

I am glad there won't be anymore.
Michael Crichton is dead, Spielberg didn't even do number 3 which wasn't
based on a Crichton novel, mainly leftovers that weren't used in the first
two films. The first two films were incredible, even magical in some senses
especialy when one is still a child filled with excitement and wonder as I was.

JP3 was decent fun, but had no good material to run off and the creator of
that Universe has passed. Let it's legend live on as it is.

Well to be fair the second book and name only have one thing in common, the name.

And JP3 was written in like 6 days, they rested on the 7th, because they threw out the script because it just kind of dumb.

I like all of them, and I will wait longer for four, no rush. There will clearly be a 4th, from what I read 15 years ago they have the rights to 6 movies until 2026 or 2028 or something.

He exists.

Those people who believe otherwise have not found God and Jesus Christ in their hearts yet, and are being deceived by the world.

I was 17 when the original Jurassic Park came out, so it didn't make an impression on me like some of you "youngsters" on this board, like my 20 year old biologically related blond-haired and blue-eyed white male cousin who lives in Tennessee and is going to have a child out of wedlock very soon this month.

We all really should respect Michael Crichton's memory and leave this film series alone. Give it another 20 years for someone else to come along and exploit this franchise (which is inevitable...), but not now to pay the man his respects for his renowned global contributions to academia, literature, and film.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Your close-mindedness is baffling.



Back on topic, I feel like I've seen #3 way too many times, usually on TBS or TNT or some other craptastic network. I haven't seen #2 is ages, but I remember thinking it was kind of dumb. #3 wasn't even really that bad, but the ending was so rushed.

Oh, how convenient, it's the NAVY!

correct me if I'm wrong.....Are you making a connection between your cousin enjoying Jurrassic Park as a kid and this.

I assure you, many people liked Jurrassic Park. I was 6 when it came out, so It was THE big movie of my childhood until I discovered Star Wars and Indy. I turned out fine.....of course you would likely state Sam Neil influenced my current Atheism.

I guess you have a point

I made that statement with a completely open mind.

The first 2 films I watched in theaters all those years ago. And, that was that, because my fascination in dinosaurs ended once I turned 10 years old.

Jurassic Park III - I have a burned copy of it on a CD-Rom right next to my desk. I watched it once 2 years ago, but never again.

The ending is terrible, out of nowheer, it's like they went "That was 100 million dollars and i forgot an end!"

Still better than JP2s ending.

Thou shall not steal...

Hypocrite.

Oh noes! I iz beeing deeseeved bi... my common sense.

Oh I know that they really only shared the same name.
But alot of elements of The Lost World did come from the first novel.
It was still taking alot of it's story que's from The Almighty Verse of Crichton.
(My Lord and Savior)

I did like 3, it was good. But not near as good as the first 2.
Perhaps in 10 - 20 years they could do another, much like they did another Indy film.
I actually loved that film and seeing the franchise revived.
Maybe when some time has passed they'll feel it appropriate to continue.
And who know maybe that yet unreleased final novel of his WAS the next JP.

(Just wishful thinking)

Yeah, one of the lamest endings ever. They should've had one of those endings where you think it's the end, but then something crazy happens and theres one more big action scene, like the end of Aliens.

They should've been safe in the chopper, flying home, when the pilot turns around, revealing that it was a raptor flying the chopper.

It would've fit into the logic of the intelligent raptor Arc perfectly.

While I definitely wouldn't have had a raptor flying the chopper (because ), I was really hoping those pterodactyls following the chopper would do something cool and exciting.

 

[Good Will Riker]

No, that itself was an extemporaneous non-sequitur on my part due to the following:

Everytime I think of the original Jurassic Park film, I remember my young cousin being into it all those years ago when he was fascinated by dinosaurs.

Alas, he is going to be a father soon, and those same childhood fascinations he once had will be passed onto his son or daughter in the coming years.

I assure you, many people liked Jurrassic Park. I was 6 when it came out, so It was THE big movie of my childhood until I discovered Star Wars and Indy. I turned out fine.....of course you would likely state Sam Neil influenced my current Atheism.

I guess you have a point

Well, when I myself was an impressionable 10 year old child, Sam Neill was best known worldwide as the actor who portrayed the antichrist Damien Thorn in The Final Conflict.

Imagine to my surprise when almost 8 years later I come across a press junket in my high school newspaper with photos of the main cast for the upcoming Jurassic Park film with actor Sam Neill cast as the lead character.

It just baffled me that the same Christians who were so against Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ did not catch this, considering his image used to promote a high-profile Hollywood film marketed to the entire family -- especially to impressionable little children.

Also, the fact that Neill goes onto play roles where he portrays psychopaths (Dead Calm) and as disturbing characters such as one he portrayed in Event Horizon, and turns around and returns again as children's hero Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park I & III is something that does not sit well with me.

I see some hypocrisy in this.

It is like discovering that the actor behind the Freddy Krueger makeup is infact the same man who portrays Mr. Rogers.

 

[ALF]

Pagan actors who will regret it when their time comes.

They serious need to repent in order to be saved.

Uhhhh.... isn't this thread about dinosaur movies? Or future lack thereof?

Anyways... more Jurassic Park, less Jurassic Park. It's all good.

 

[RoJoHen]

It is like discovering that the actor behind the Freddy Krueger makeup is infact the same man who portrays Mr. Rogers.

That would be hilarious.

 

[Aragorn]

While thread derailing by Good Will Riker isn't anything new, you have to admit this approach is something new. For this thread in particular, I was expecting his derailing about the lack of Asian stegosauruses in Jurassic Park or that a character named Ian Malcolm can and should be played by B.D. Wong.

 

[Good Will Riker]

It is like discovering that the actor behind the Freddy Krueger makeup is infact the same man who portrays Mr. Rogers.

That would be hilarious.

Well, that happened to me with actor Sam Neill who went from being most famous for portraying antichrist Damien Thorn in The Final Conflict to children's hero paleontologist Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, and I was shocked!

The Last Temptation of Christ is not exactly Jurrassic Park you realise.

 

[RoJoHen]

My only suggestion would be that you take movies a lot less seriously.

 

[TheBrew]

The first 2 films I watched in theaters all those years ago. And, that was that, because my fascination in dinosaurs ended once I turned 10 years old.

It obviously didn't.

I was 17 when the original Jurassic Park came out

OT: I liked 3 better than 2 because the San Diego stuff seemed stupid to me. 3 didn't do anything new, but since the genre is tiny, I was okay with that. Plus it had William H. Macy. I would not mind a 4 at all, as long as it isn't terrible.

 

[Top41]

Good Will Riker, give it a rest. It's a thread about Jurassic Park, not religion or the anti-Christ. If you've got such a big problem with Sam Neill, perhaps you're better off starting a separate thread about it rather than derailing this one. I don't think your commentary is particularly appropriate for Gen TV & Media; people's religious beliefs are their own business and not really on topic for the forum.

Let's get back on topic, folks.
