    And seriously... a roaming pack of trained raptors. I didn't realize how much I've wanted to see that until yesterday, but now I do.

    If I disappear for two months, it's because I'm writing my first draft of Raptor Jam for the studios.

    Well, WELL played.

      How long until Benedict Cumberbatch voices Raptor Jesus?

        I read the first book a couple of years before the movie came out and it was incredible.

        I was mildly disappointed in the movie in that they Speilberged it instead of keeping it to the not-quite-horror-but scary that the book was.

        Other than that though, the movie was great. The dinosaurs were awesome (for the time/technology). Many of the scenes were brilliantly conceived. Still love the jeep getaway with Goldblum's deadpan.


        Everything since then has been a steaming pile.

          I enjoy The Lost World...it is not nearly as good but I like it. Jurassic Park though is a classic and I still get goosebumbs when Hammond says "Welcome, to Jurassic Park". (not to mention when the T-Rex gets loose) The book is better but I get why Spielberg changed it.

          But hey...who needs that we have a new fake dinosaur and Chris Pratt supposedly as a non-ironic badass. Sounds great...

            Oh I do too. Had to appeal to kids too - the ones most into dinosaurs.

            A good balance was achieved.

              Yeah, I don't know that Jurassic Park would've worked as a scarier movie or a more straight adaptation of the book. Spielberg's version was probably the best movie that book was ever going to get.
              If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

              BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

              At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

              Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

                I think I envisioned it more along the lines of an Alien type movie. That would have been a fine line to walk though.

                At the time, the book had me on EDGE.

                  The book was outstanding...I read it in like a day and a half I couldnt stop reading

                              Just imagine the spin-off possibilities with trained raptors. You could do an Ocean's 11 style heist movie, or have them travel the countryside solving mysteries, or... THE GREATEST REBOOT OF SPACE JAM YOU COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF.
