No trust me Nolan gets upvotes. Cant lie, only decent Nolan is The Prestige imo and I said I preferred puss in boots 2 to Memento and it’s safe to say it didn’t go down well with r/movies :(

Reply to comment by True_to_you in The Lost World: Jurassic Park; a great film dampened by it's third act? by SomeMockodile
Yeah this is something I didn't think about when I was making the "lack of reason" section. Surely local authorities will immediately be able to find the Rex within 20-30 minutes and someone in the office has a larger grade firearm or some explosive weapon that could be use to neutralize it so it wouldn't kill people.

I also want to add. Bigger productions were actually paying people to stay off other sets and isolate at home. One movie guaranteed me at least 6 days on set (I’m in the union), ended up offering me 11 but I worked 10, which is a lot for me, but they had also told casting to not book me on anything else. I knew of movies that were paying BG to isolate at home for 2 days, test, isolate again for 2 days, test, isolate for 2 days and then work. They were getting like 6 days of pay for that one day of work. And even low budget movies can be millions of dollars (I usually work low budget straight to tv movies). One movie I was booked on got cancelled and it got delayed for over a year because the facilities they were using had melted. That means all of these workers are SOL because it’s not like another movie can fit in during the cancelled time. There was also an entirely new set of workers now hired just to deal with the covid stuff (in addition to what the other poster said), we had a covid compliance officer who’s job it was to walk around with a 6’ stick and make sure everyone was keeping the proper distance. That’s it, that was their entire job.

It was so weird playing this level in the Return of the King game. The extended edition of the movie wasn't out yet and we were wondering why the hell we were running away from a collapsing cavern while fighting ghosts and breaking skulls walls lol.

An old school friend got in touch and asked if I wanted to see a film sometime so we watched Get Out. I thought it was brilliant but after the film they said it was shit because of how clearly racist it was since the black people were all working and the white people were rich.. safe to say I didn’t keep in touch.

I really like this movie and even though I feel like it's overhated, I get why people don't like it, but the reasoning why is mostly in how the final act wasn't handled too well. I get in the writing room they were probably like "Great, lets get our leads in the city with this T.Rex for a thrilling climax." But there's probably ways they could have handled it better.
The boat sequence was the biggest plot hole in this entire IP before the later World films happened, but at least for those plot holes they aren't core to the overall plot or narrative and are just background details that don't add up. In the Lost World it hurts the ability to immerse yourself in the film if you think about it at all.

Reply to comment by Futur_alliance in Avatar 2 Ummm did I miss something? by Professional-Rip-519
I do love how you people still don’t get it. It’s the first film to use underwater performance capture technology, the first avatar was also groundbreaking. There’s more to films than just stroking peoples perceived intelligence, lmao.
Imagine if every film was just some complex plot so viewers like you can feel special about themselves. Cinema would be fucking awful.

I enjoyed it as a kid, and enjoy watching it with my stepson but it’s not one I will put on myself if I’m in the mood for any of the Jurassic movies

I do! I discovered that I've inadvertently kept all of my MCU tickets and now keep them in one box every time I get a new one.

There's no possible way for you to know whether this "deserved" to win or not if you haven't even seen the fucking movie yourself. What a dumb post.

so sanitized, propaganda movies?

i like that movie too, except when he repeatedly pressures Adrian multiple times to come into his apartment, then when she wants to leave, he pins her in the corner with his hand on the door

I like the lost world, but it is puzzling for there's seemingly no first responder presence in San Diego at all.

This is also the reason comedy gets unfairly shit on: in the name of white knighting or whatever people will deliberately misunderstand the butt of the joke and assuming whomever is saying it is perpetuating harmful stereotypes. This in spite of how ridiculous it would be for an obviously intelligent, talented person to be saying this stuff for real (and that it usually wouldn't even qualify as a joke to begin with if they were being serious about it)
Artists need to have the freedom to depict problematic characters or situations, otherwise it just comes off as preaching

The original Running Scared(1986)is a lot more fun, one of the best films of the '80's
