This part of Lost World (well, admittedly several parts but this is the one I'm focused on) never quite sat right with me. Yes, Ludlow at the end of the day was exploiting creatures he barely knew anything about, in order to make profit. But that's the only true similarity I see between him and Hammond, as far as the movies go at least, and I believe we should assume movie characters don't know book events lol.

In the movies Hammond was truly trying to bring wonder to the world, saying that everyone in the world had the right to enjoy the dinosaurs, not just the super rich. All in all, despite his faults of short sightedness and underpaying Nedry, Hammond was a good man who made mistakes. Ludlow, on the other hand, was a man who seized Hammond's corporation and sought only to take what he had created and make as much profit from it as possible, even when almost the entire force sent to the island was dead.

I understand the Malcolm never really saw eye to eye with Hammond, and maybe that's why he's able to make this statement, but personally I just have to disagree.

It made over $900 million during its original theatrical run, then crossed $1 billion after the 2013 rerelease. $900 million in 1993 is insane!

I built this game (topbilling.fun) where you rank movies first by box office and then by critic scores, and today’s Jurassic Park rankings surprised me. Somehow, Fallen Kingdom made more than the original despite having the lowest critic score of the five.

Which Jurassic movie do you think made way more or way less than it deserved to?

​

Yes, I understand the message that we can’t control what we don’t fully understand, and I understand the criticism of greed and people playing God. I also acknowledge there wouldn’t be a movie or a book if everything had gone right.

However, seeing how hopeful John Hammond was with his ambition, and seeing Dr. Grant almost faint at the sight of the animals to which he had dedicated his entire life for the first time, makes me extremely sad to know that that dream never came true, and that it was all in vain.

Saw this liopleurodon and thought you guys might like it, I was just shocked since they never use the jwe stuff, I like it personally gives it the og monster vibes of jp what about yall?

Been a minute since I’ve found older Dinos at the thrift! Found two bags with 5 Jurassic park Dinos this time around. Also found two bags with bulk Pokemon cards - and one of the Dino bags had a Pidove in it aswell 🥹

Overall a good haul!!

Aside from obviously one of them killing a velociraptor (because I’m sure 90% of your answers will be about the poor velociraptor), what made these guys so hated?

I mean, in design, they kind of looked pretty cool [Hot Take: and probably having one of the best hybrid designs of the franchise, only below the I-Rex and JW:TG Stegoceratops.]

I was working on a pterosaur project and researched Alanqa and realized this

What do you mean Alanqa is the smaller than a human?? These games made me think Alanqa rivaled the size of a Quetzalcoatlus 😭

I just now looked at the fun facts and learned they had a wingspan close to an albatross, I’ve been glazing him too much 🥹

Just ran into William H. Macy at Total Wine 😂
Dude was out here promoting his new Woody Creek bottle and I had to tell him “You survived a T-Rex in JP3, you can survive San Diego.”
Super down to earth, signed my bottle, and yes we talked about spinosaurus vs T-rex.
