Starting point is 00:01:00 Thank you to Shopify for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. All right, Terry. You're going to watch this? I'm ready. Let's go. Let's do it. Anyway, guys, listen.

Starting point is 00:01:20 If you're listening to us out or Spotify, thanks for being here. Leave a five-star rating. Leave a like on this video. Tara, what do they do? Bring the bag. And of course, thanks to Prepper for adding in this down. You guys have been rock solid. Listen to clear up some of my...

Starting point is 00:01:39 Also, Eric and Nerd Chronic. Oh, yes, yes. And also to clear up a little bit of my head fatigue here. Let's read some questions from our patrons right off the top. Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm going to go with Allie. Okay.

Starting point is 00:01:54 Allie is saying, for me, one of the saddest moments in the entire franchise is the dog dying brachiosaurus scene. Yes, yes, it is. He's led new bars finally consumed by the volcano. It's also one of the few scenes that utilize practical effects in the movie. What? There's practical effects there?

Starting point is 00:02:12 I think this was an intentional choice to make the scene seem more real and contribute a greater emotional way to what was happening. Most importantly, that particular brachiosaurus was the same diet as, oh, you got to be shitting me. That is so mean and unnecessary. No way that they saw. Oh, come. Allen and Company saw in the first movie when they laid eyes on the resurrected dinosaur,

Starting point is 00:02:35 and now it was the last to die. What a bunch of bullshit. I gotta hate that. Do you feel this scene caused the destruction of the island to resonate more deeply with you? Up until that point, the whole island section of the movie felt rushed, but the scene felt like a stab in the gut of final farewells to the dream of Jurassic Park. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:02:56 I feel like that's just kind of like misery porn. at that point i think it's like sad for sadness sake and there's not even like a real implication that it is that first time i don't know how you would possibly convey that information without it being like awkwardly expositional uh but beyond that i think the the the whole scene that's when the movie started to seem a little bit at odds with each other because before that it was like serious and had this wonderful open scene and there was a really good setups of the ethics of what we do with these dinosaurs a lot of like good setups of conversations and debates to be had that would be woven throughout the

Starting point is 00:03:40 story and they don't really keep that dialogue going and by the time the destruction's happening it's it's kind of weird because it's like the whimsy of Jurassic world one but there's this real sadness also taking place the whole time so I agree it is a gut punch I have done It hit me right in that moment, like, oh, this was that moment. That's what it was when my wife walked out. But it's not, I mean, it does a job. It's a fucking sad moment. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:10 But did it need to be? I guess so. I mean, it's fine. Whatever. I'm not. I don't really care anymore. What do you think, Tara? I mean, yes, I think that that scene did cause the destruction of the island to resonate probably

Starting point is 00:04:28 more deeply with the entire audience, but again, it's not really about the island. I was more concerned about the animals, although I know that's what you're saying. It's like the island and the animals, they're all combined. It was really just the nail in the coffin that was at the end. They were already hurting animals before that, and that really, that really gets to me. so this movie was already like got under my skin and then for that to happen i mean i was basically pretty much almost at the verge of tears like i think i let out a tear so and that's just not what i expected that's fine movies are supposed to pull out emotions right you go to the movies to feel

Starting point is 00:05:19 something different they did that but it's not it makes it even more sad that you just told me that is the first bragging stories that we saw i just think it's just so sad i didn't want that i just didn't want it it's just so sad for me yeah i think they doing that is smart in his stories i don't feel like the movie really earns that level of sadness no i don't i don't think it built to that exactly earned it that well thank you because it happens in the freaking first 30 minutes yeah it happens in the movie and they by the time they do get to the island it is moving like i said it's like totally conflicting and it's moving rather quick so when they get to this moment it it didn't feel like uh there has to feel some type of payoff there in a way or or the gut punch has to feel

Starting point is 00:06:15 not manipulative i agree and it felt a little bit more like how we're trying to we're trying to make the audience feel sad that's what it feels more like yes is we're trying to we're trying to make you feel sad versus naturally going there because yeah I mean it does make sense for the first dinosaur you see in Jurassic Park up close is the brachiosaurus and then you end the island with the brachiosaurus so story wise contextually wise but to me it plays out in a way that's like sad but manipulative and I would have preferred just truly emotionally sad and not the feeling of feeling like I'm being tricked into feeling like I'm being played on you know right i'm being tortured for some reason that's what i felt like i really did that's what i was

Starting point is 00:07:01 i was upset because they didn't it wasn't just that it was the whole leading up to it it was really just awful i was like it just kept freaking going felt mean spirited i agree with that not not tragic and and the grandiose epic drama way it it felt mean and we didn't get our vengeance a revenge quick enough like i wanted that that that the mean if you're mean, if you're going to be mean, you get eaten right away or somebody freaking breaks your arm and then throws you the T-Rex. I want to see those people get

Starting point is 00:07:33 hurt and die quickly. I don't want them to go, sure, keep a few at the end, but it just kept hitting the animal part really hard and I agree with the mean spiritedness where I was like after one, we're good. I'm good. As an animal

Starting point is 00:07:49 person, after hurting blue, I don't want you to hurt anymore. I don't want to see it. we were watching so many die that's what I mean like I'm saying most people are after one we get it we feel it already

Starting point is 00:08:03 but they just kept going and going and going which is why I just was like is this what this movie is it just didn't make me feel very good no no I know and we didn't get to see those those efforts like die that that like they didn't really get a cathartic release

Starting point is 00:08:19 on that like you saw the one guy died by the Indo Raptor yeah But outside of that, yeah. But like the guys that were tasing them, you know, in the cage, I wanted that little guy to run out and just, like, get them all eaten, you know? Yeah, at least have a bit of a payoff there. Yeah, I don't know. It's conflicting to me.

Starting point is 00:08:39 It's conflicting. I don't like hate it or fully dislike it, but I don't feel good about it. I know what it's like to feel a gut punch and feel, like, tragic and sad and not be like, I don't like the way this makes me feel. Like, I understand. that there are times where you're not supposed to like the way it makes you feel and that's a good thing yeah to me i was like i don't know if this is like a really good thing about how i'm feeling right now i actually agree with you that it was manipulative and when you when you cut back to brys house

Starting point is 00:09:06 howard you know she has tears in her eyes and they're all looking out um you know i guess dealing with the decision that they made but we were already grappling with that as we were running off of the island it just made them the setup and the writing in this some of it was a lot of fun and really great. This is still a really fun movie. But I think the characters are smarter than a lot of the decisions they made. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:33 All of them. Even the little girl, when you said she would, I think, one more sentence to make her a little more cautious before she runs into the arms of Chris and Bryce. But also, just even going to the island, right? And it's exploding in the volcano

Starting point is 00:09:51 and even the small. guy, this smart kid who's supposed to be funny, he does computers, he's like, we're safe here on the rock. I'm like, I get it. We want to add in the comedic moments. I think it could have been just written a little bit more intelligently to add more to who these people are. They work for like a nonprofit for dinosaurs. They're not, all of this isn't going to be brand new stuff to them right i feel like i just feel like they were smarter than the decisions they made that's it that's the sentence i'm going to give you for that right now well thanks to the question alley and chase lee's saying would you have made the same decision as a little girl knowing the implications of

Starting point is 00:10:35 what could happen next trying to be as vague as possible uh that's a tough one that's a really tough one Because I am indeed an animal lover. The only charity I really contribute to consistently monthly is this animal sanctuary. So I really love animals. Yeah. And in that moment, I would have to make the hard choice and say no. Because it's your, it's going to be so much. many people murdered, man, like the implications of that are some people would be slaughtered,

Starting point is 00:11:22 you know, and the, like, I think the ending montage is cool with the, yeah, T-Rex and the lion and the, that one in the water in the water, but that's what I'm talking about. I mean, they didn't let that monster. That's what's funny about that. They didn't let that monster go. That monster just swam over there from the island. Yeah, you're right. That one had nothing to do with the humans. in the mansion they didn't bring that over there um but like the t rex one you know like that no then now it's leading to other animals dying that's not part of the natural order now you got lions being killed and dogs and other animals uh because of this so it's it's a hard choice but in the heat of the moment it's like well you're you might lead to hundreds if not thousands dying now

Starting point is 00:12:08 yeah and i think they tried making it i think they put all this emphasis on like this guy and this girl because i was like watching this movie going why are they putting all this emphasis on these characters i do not care about i do not i like these actors but i don't why why are we keep cutting back to why do we yeah and and then they did and it's like they did all that i think just to because i thought she was like made of like dino dna maybe that's the implication right like because they figured out the cloning technology and whatever yeah um but the the the it's it's hard in the moment and but yeah the implications are disastrous they I would not I'd have to make the hard call and say no yeah yeah the question would make me say no because you're saying knowing the

Starting point is 00:12:59 implications which means like the whole world is going to change but I'm going to tell you right now I was on the side with the little girl I said yeah let him out oh that was me I was like let him out in a movie yes yes in a movie in a real life Maybe in real life, maybe in real life. I don't know. They're dying in front of me. I like him. It's tough.

Starting point is 00:13:25 It's tough. I don't know. I mean, I don't know where I'm at. I don't know. And I wouldn't know. I think the heat of the moment. That's what I mean. In the heat of the moment, I would make the stupid decision to go, I cannot watch them die.

Starting point is 00:13:38 Let him the freak out. I wouldn't even think about the future. I'm pretty sure I would not be like Mr. level-headed about it. No. I'm pretty like, oh, they're dying, they're moaning, like, get them out. If I'm in a boardroom having a distance from this, if I'm, like, way off where and I'm with a bunch of, like, political people, like, arguing this point, I'd be like, no, we can't do it. But if I'm there, yeah, I might hit the blood. I might have an emotional reaction and be like, let him go.

Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah. I think so. That's tough. But I wish the movie made a debate about it. I wish the movie had it. Like, I know we didn't have much of a time, but they could. have mined that a little more and and really milk the tension out of that and made and really thrust you into the position of what choice do we do yeah but instead it again it was a thing that kind

Starting point is 00:14:26 of felt a little bit rushed um and and they tried having like some emotional sorry moment there they're like me i'm like no they're not no they're not you're a human clone we let you outside you're fine yeah you know they they they wrote the whole script because the writer went listen to this line they're alive like yeah it's a dumb ass moment it's a dumb ass like i don't think even needed the line i think it wouldn't work much better if you didn't have the line same choice little girl does it yeah she does it no no words we know why they don't need that line i think that line I think that line kind of undercuts the whole thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:11 I also really hate that we didn't see the caretaker after the little girl was, like, locked in her room that I'm like, you know what would have been good is like to see like that the caretaker got the key, slipped it under her, but maybe she got called. You know, the guy was coming after. I don't know. And that's why she had to go away. But we never saw her again after that. I feel bad.

Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah. I know she got fired. So she had to leave. Yeah. She just left. Yeah. No, no concern for the girl like, well, I'm fired. I got, I got to get out of here.

Starting point is 00:15:41 How much heart would that, would there have been, right? If, of course, she shows up as they're, as they're, I don't know, making your way through the mansion and the dynastores are there. The caretakers there. And the little girl's like, oh, I thought you left. She's like, I could never leave you. Because I don't think she could. No. She's like her mom.

Starting point is 00:16:01 So where the F was she, that would have been very, very good moment, not manipulative to add a lot of heart into that. where now they're they're all together yeah i agree i fully agree on that especially the fucking emphasis they put on that relationship exactly thank you we can't just disappear her yeah they put so much time and like so much screen time to so then what to and chase lee has one more fun follow-up here if you could clone someone and bring them back as a baby would you and if so who would it be uh i would clone me and i would say we're gonna do this right Oh, I love it. And I would keep doing it until I got it right.

Starting point is 00:16:44 I love it. Or I would clone Margo Robbie, accelerate her growth process so she becomes 18 in the next, like, two days. Idiot. 18 to 25 year old range. And definitely, you know, rewire her brain chemistry to make her only attracted to me. but, you know, have a little switch when I want to mix it up where she could be attracted

Starting point is 00:17:11 with people. Idiot. I get really freaky about it. What about you, too? I don't know. I guess I just clone my... You said someone, but I'm like, just give me more of my cats,

Starting point is 00:17:22 my black cats. Just clone them. You know? Yeah. I'll just have like 17 grinches and 17 Mika's running around. We good. Life is good.

Starting point is 00:17:31 Give me all the cats. Yeah, thank you. All the rural rejects we have for the Ratchezza World ones and dress the park, I thought we'd have more questions on this one. But thank you for the three questions that we did have. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:41 You guys got to send us in more. Remember that because I know you're probably leaving stuff in the comments, but leave them if you're on Patreon, you can ask them on here. Well, let's move on to our own thoughts now. Thank you, guys. We have that? I have thoughts. I'm just kidding.

Starting point is 00:17:56 Let's talk about some good things. Let's talk about some good. Yeah. Because needless to say, it's a mixed bag of an experience, but there's positives. Absolutely. I think everything until lava starts exploding on the island was pretty good. Five stars. I thought it was pretty good.

Starting point is 00:18:14 I was like maybe I was very wrong about this movie. I was with you. Yeah. Because the opening scene I thought, wow. Opening scene was a great scene. That's a great scene. That alone is like one of the best scenes of both Jurassic World and Jurassic World Falling Kingdom. Yep.

Starting point is 00:18:33 it was scary it was wet and icky the usage of lightning to show like that T-Rex popping up and then bringing back a I don't know whatever that water dinosaur thing is that comes up and swallows him on the ladder it was a scary scene yeah with a lot of really good tension and great visual effects agreed it was the best scene in the whole movie the first 10 minutes they're open with that yeah right um i think the trajectory of claire from the first movie to her switch here they really paid attention and i think that makes a lot of sense her her change and i like i like bryce dallas howard and the first one out of any of the characters the most and i like her here too i think she is a strong consistent part that was one thing we're saying during it is that we think this movie elevated chris pratt uh we liked him way more here than we did in the last Oh, yeah. And the chemistry between them, you could actually feel it versus the other one. We were kind of complaining you couldn't feel it.

Starting point is 00:19:40 The only one part that I will say about Bryce House, however, when they wash up on the beach. And she says some line, it was laughable. I don't know why the director didn't say. I'm sorry. They lied. That was comedic. Can we try that again? I mean, a lot of times those scenes come across comedic and timing and editing.

Starting point is 00:19:57 But you could throw it away. You could just be like, like they lie. like you don't have to be like they lied it's so overly dramatic it doesn't have to it's just they freaking lied like just deal with the realization of like they lied like her trust was broken her hope is shattered yeah grounded make it subtle this is they lie sometimes going big it is not the good choice sometimes going big is really not the call a lot of times it's really not the call unless you are directed to do so and maybe it was that way you know what I love about these two movies the meme of

Starting point is 00:20:33 Chris Pratt how he's just so good at everything yeah strategy he can hold his breath under burning hot water he can build a house he can wake up out of he can build a house he can wake up out of sedation

Starting point is 00:20:50 and avoid lava he can fight professionally trained hitmen from billionaires that's true he's just he he he's so good it's so good it's like and they they set him up to really be like merica man you know what i mean like he's like i'm here and i'm the merica man i'm building my house in the mountains and he has his airstream and he just he has that charming smile i love it man

Starting point is 00:21:19 oh it's my favorite it's great even with the laser thing at the end with the uh when when brice saw how her points yeah when he's he knew somehow he knew to run forward at the indirector and then dodge how'd you pick up on this i know right fucking my guy he's my mom he's my man he's my man it is so corny and i i accept it at all levels me too because it's fun it's fun i accept it i really accept it and he has some more sincere like they the movie the last movie really kept going him and blue get along there it's animals him and I'm like, yeah, you keep, you keep shouting it at me. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah. This one, I actually felt the connection. The last movie, it felt corny and cheesy. I like blue, but it felt cheesy. This one, it felt sincere in their connection. I really bought it and the documentary vlog archive documentary, the documentation archive footage, I thought really elevated that relationship. Reject Nation, fun fact for you guys, when we started this channel, we were actually

Starting point is 00:22:28 trying to become critics in the newspaper we just wanted to get noticed for that so the last thing we ever expected was that this small channel would turn into an actual career a business that we own so first off thank you because that's large part primarily thanks to you guys thank you and with it being a business a big part of that extension has become reject nation shop.com which gratefully has become an actual source of income for us and of course that's thanks to you guys and the site of RejectnationShop.com would not have been possible without Shopify. I'm so glad that we get a partner up with companies, which they have products that we were already using.

Starting point is 00:23:10 So this makes it a lot more natural. For you guys that I know, Shopify is the global commerce platform that helps you start, run, and grow your business. Whether you're selling T-shirts or turning your side hustle into a full-time gig, Shopify simplifies every step. From inventory and payments to shipping and customer communication, And what I love is how user-friendly, how beginner-friendly it is. Not really like a tech guy, despite what we've been able to accomplish.

Starting point is 00:23:37 But that's the beautiful part about Shopify. It made the process feel doable, even exciting. It gave us the confidence to launch something and help turn an idea into something real that we are, of course, proud of. And what I'm here to say is, if you want that experience, you can have that too. So if you've launched your own brand or you're thinking about launching your own brand for something, Shopify is the place to do it. don't need a huge following or need to know everything on day one just take the leap plus a great thing they have a 24-7 customer support so we never feel like stuck for long so if you've got an idea that you have been sitting on turn that what if into a why not and give yourself the best shot at success this is shopify dot com slash real rejects to start your free trial and get one step closer to building something you love that's shopify dot com slash real rejects thank you again shopify for not only sponsoring this video but helping us actually grow our now business thank you yeah absolutely that's what set our

Starting point is 00:24:35 foundation also made him seem more human and more on the side of where now bryce dallas howard is now right she's running the nonprofit for the dinosaurs let's save him you know he's in the same position which is why i thought well after him saying no well after him saying well yeah he'll just let blue die on the island um i felt like they they had to sort of give us that to build that up i didn't think that was very believable but i do like that they they gave us the foundation of where it started and where it is now which is why it is very believable that yes when he walks down the stairs and his hand is in front of him like this that blue just like obeys because there's like that's it's silly like a lot of people make

Starting point is 00:25:24 fun of that like they're like put your hand out but after you see that document the documentation in the footage you're like oh yeah it makes sense right he's gone through all of that together so now this doesn't seem corny you're like okay i get it i get it that's the relationship this is how it works it made it more grounded and a lot more realistic which i appreciated i thought well why they put that in before but that that's the part where the writers made some good decisions they made some really great decisions in here and it is still a really fun movie but there's also you thought it was really fun i did i thought it was like reasonably you know what where they where they where they where they i thought it was intermittently fun

Starting point is 00:26:10 i agree because it was either like dower as hell to me or intermittently or fun you're right about that um i was i was i was i was consistently entertained i wasn't i wasn't bored um even when it was dower you know what i think the what they do a good job of is leaving me on the end of it with a te rex roar and that's just the most fun for me and then i just forget about me being really upset at the movie for a good period of time because they hurt the animals and i didn't want to see that um so i do agree i do think a lot of it was pretty dark pretty sad you saw me yelling a lot but um yeah i guess you're you're right about that fun was it but you know what You know what? No, because at the end, when it is fun,

Starting point is 00:27:00 when that little dude starts, goes through the wall and we let him go and he starts taking out all those rich, privileged people, that's a lot of fun for me to watch. Y'all are assholes that were going to buy these dinosaurs and probably hurt them, and there's guys with tasers, kill them all. That's a good time for me. Also, when we see the freaking, what's the bad one, that they made.

Starting point is 00:27:25 The Andoraptor. Thank you. The Indo Raptor, when he's in the room with a kid, he's about to, like, chomp. When you see the teeth and it's like, and then Chris opens the door, that's just fun for me because you're like, oh, it's like, it's action. We got to save this girl. We're getting out of here. We're on the edge of the house.

Starting point is 00:27:42 How are we going to do it? Bride shows up with the laser. All of that is a blast erronee for me. And then when Blue shows up, give me a break. That's a lot of fun for me. blues the shit in this one yeah i mean and then when blues are like wins you're like yes yeah yeah blue's awesome yeah i love blueness yeah um uh there's other good stuff right yeah visual effects i think are better than the last movie absolutely i appreciate the intention

Starting point is 00:28:13 to be more horror like they really were going for like monster horror vibes they really did Like the last one's a monster movie, but it's going for more like summer fun. And this one was going, they were trying to actually be scary. I never really found it actually scary, even though they were doing aesthetics to look scary. Like the whole mansion stuff, the rain and the roaring, very wolfman-like roaring at the top of the roof. Yeah. And, you know, the stalking of the Raptor. The design of the Raptor was cool.

Starting point is 00:28:50 the scene where he kills the when he first breaks out and a little smile see sometimes but that was the part that's the biggest crutch of the movie to me is i think the movie is often at odds with itself because that's the fun part that they're trying to throw in here but it's dark that guy just was gonna take her tooth and he's been a dick the whole time so like in the last movie when when shit is stupid it's so forgivable because the movie is just a fun time it's a self-aware movie versus not I agree. They're not very aware. They just go, no, we'll just have it.

Starting point is 00:29:24 Wouldn't it be fun if the dinosaur starts smiling? Right? It's just like the last line. I didn't like it. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it because I was like, hell yeah. Please be so happy that this guy's going to take your tooth, but you know you got one up on him because I would love to see him die.

Starting point is 00:29:46 So I loved every part of it. Yeah, yeah. I do. thinking though it does it really lacks self-awareness whereas the last one is incredibly self-aware and this one they're like let's try to make you feel sad and scared and let's act like we're having a serious conversation about the way we treat animals and environmentalism and billionaires who exploit and do consequential greedy uh choices without thinking about the the the the the things that might, the repercussions that'll come from these things, but it's just coming

Starting point is 00:30:23 across as like stupid. Like the whole auction thing to me is just so stupid to me. I thought it was dumb, not like a, not like a commentary that was effective. It just seemed like everyone lacked like obvious-ass questions to ask about. Where are you going to keep it? How are you going to feed it like normal stuff? Is someone going to be provided to be able, are they going to have some type of Owen around to be able to monitor this animal for you? Like, what are you going to going to it's not like owning a tiger in your backyard that you keep in a cage i know sometimes crazy stupid people do shit like that right or even a monkey for the you know this is like a dinosaur you can't you can't you can't just fucking have this thing in your in your under property you know like

Starting point is 00:31:04 what are you going to do with this thing uh yeah it was so stupid and then and then on top of that too the other product i thought was too was like you're selling this for a really cheap price totally this is insanely cheap i know this was eight years ago and things inflation rises really much but i'm This is a full-ass dinosaur for $4 million. Are you kidding? This should be like $100 million minimum to sell this thing. There's the movie that we're watching maybe cost $200 million to make. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:32 You know? Totally. I actually agree with that. This costs like billions to put together the research for the dinosaurs and never. This costs billions. We're starting price $4 million. I was stupid, aren't you? You should be selling each one of these for a minimum of $100 million.

Starting point is 00:31:54 You know what I've been way smarter is that they go, if they wrote it so that it would make those people who are selling them a lot smarter, that they're like, well, they're going to pay us to get the dinosaur, but we're going to make them keep the dinosaur on the island that they built that they wanted seed money for, right? Even though they didn't explain that. They're like, was he money to build this thing? but we already worked on this other freaking island. Wasn't that a ruse? The other island that they were talking about? I thought that was just a ruse. I thought that was a fake thing they were telling

Starting point is 00:32:23 Bryce Dallas Howard. A fake thing? Yeah, because they were just saying that because they said they were they just used them to get blue. They did this whole elaborate machination of a plan to reel in Chris Pratt, the God Owen, to get blue.

Starting point is 00:32:40 Then where they were... I said I was going to Chris Brad and trying to convince them himself. I know. You're Right. Ideally, wherever they were going to keep them, I would say, oh, we'll keep them for you. And then you get, you get like an Airbnb out and that's your nice or you look at him. Like, but then they have to come to the eye and they have to spend money. And then they still have to give money to be able to see the thing they bought. You know what?

Starting point is 00:33:05 I know most people are not going to make it this far. But to Chase Lee's original question about, well, we have made the same decision. I'm going to go, yes, because the same thing would have happened if these dumbass billionaires bought the dinosaurs. Exactly. They would have eventually done, did their own thing. Yeah. You know?

Starting point is 00:33:30 Totally. And broken free and murdered a bunch of people and went on. They probably would have been more spread out across them across America, you know? They had like people from Russia and shit here. So they would have been spread across the world more. And it would have been worse. It's been way harder to contaminate the situation. Contain the situation.

Starting point is 00:33:49 Contain the situation. The Indo-Raptor design was cool, but I'm not a big fan of the creature. Like the Indominus Rex and the last one was a blast because it starts off with like one particular scale of the camouflage. And then you're seeing how it, oh, it's actually smart. It becomes aware of its tracker. Oh, shit, it can lead the Raptors. everything about the Indominus Rex is a very memorable

Starting point is 00:34:15 monster beyond its I don't even really remember the Indominus Rex is designed that well but I remember its functionality and its affect really well this one I'm more going to remember the design and nothing really special about the end like they're like

Starting point is 00:34:29 they do all this talk in the latter because this movie's two movies it's the buildup to the island and then getting them off the island the dinosaurs and then the last like hour and 20 minutes is just like the weird thing in the house it's a strange choice

Starting point is 00:34:44 for a Jurassic Park movie to go all right now we're going to really make it take place primarily in a couple of rooms in this mansion for the next hour it's a really weird choice yeah but yeah the Indo raptor like while cool and like kind of spooky and I like

Starting point is 00:35:00 the effect is really just a big raptor it's not there's nothing really different about it like I what can you tell me that's special about this rap this Indo raptor other than it's black and gold that's black and gold it's bigger a little bigger and it's uh you know if you use the laser it can attack but they don't really use that you brought and you brought up a really good point that don't couldn't they smell you from a mile away yeah didn't i think there's

Starting point is 00:35:26 three people there maybe it's like tracking the scent of of whoever they already know like blue can track a scent but if this is an indo raptor it should be able to smell three people i agree right there right down below them it should like it's right there it should be able to and we get that

Starting point is 00:35:44 that writing is for the movie and the reason we're more critical is because the movie is more serious yeah the movie's

Starting point is 00:35:52 setting itself up to be criticized to go and ask questions yes whereas the last one you're like yeah I totally

Starting point is 00:35:59 buy Bryce Dallas Howard can run away from a T-Rex on heels but if they did that in this one I'd be like there's no way

Starting point is 00:36:04 you could get away from this thing on heels I am I agree because they, and the way that they're pulling at the heartstrings with the, with the brachiosaurus, you know, the brontosaurus dying in the beginning. Bryce is crying and then we get to the island and then the line with the little girl where she's like, they're alive like me, right? And before that, though, they take her in as if they're adopting her, right? Like Chris Pratt stands in front of her when the guy goes, oh, I forget what her name is, but he says like, you come. Like he's such a, I'm like, you really think the girl's going to listen to you.

Starting point is 00:36:36 you just locked her up in her room like you weirdo um it's so it's so quick how they try to really fast forward that relationship which just seems a little silly to me thank god she landed on the video of course pat would working with blue as a baby animal so she could trust him more yada yada yeah but um i do agree with you that there's there's a lot of this that is they're pushing it to an area that's like it's a little unbelievable but they're they're not doing it to be like they're doing it to be like, no, this is, this is story. And you're like, yeah, but it's not, it's a little too farce. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:15 Yeah, I get, it seems a little reactionary. Like, you know, Jurassic Park 1 and 2 were Spilberg films and then three fell off. And Jurassic World comes back and it's really fun. And I feel like this director wanted to bring it back a little bit more. Yeah. I'm trying to try to be a blend of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. and ultimately just kind of lost the narrative a little bit. You know, there's some cool, there's some really cool.

Starting point is 00:37:39 I like the whole thing when they're, you know, it's a little ridiculous how Owen couldn't, you know, break them out at that little circle thing that they're in when they're underwater. But I thought the shot was really cool when he's like swimming towards him. Oh, yeah, where he breaks him out with a knife. Yeah, I thought the whole one of that was a really cool shot. I agree too. And into the brachiosaurus dying moment, the way like goes into the smoke and looks kind of like the mosquito and the ball thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:03 I thought that was really cool. Because isn't, you know what I would have really thought is cool? Is if they're in the ball, the volcano stuff is coming. It comes through the glass, burns through. I'd have been like, okay, let's rock the thing so that it burns through the glass. And then we kick it out. We don't even need Chris. That's my idea to make the character smart that they survive, right?

Starting point is 00:38:29 They're survivalists. I want to make them like really intelligent. The one weird thing that I did think is Why did we never explain With the kid that we're trying to make funny He's on the boat deck He goes with a rope He has to go with him

Starting point is 00:38:42 I don't think so but that's fine He goes and then all of a sudden We cut back to him going He's in scientist gear And it's supposed to be funny I get it But what would be a lot funnier Is having one of the characters going

Starting point is 00:38:56 What fuck are you doing? Why are you what's happening? Where have you been for the last two hours? He's like well I remember I was a boat deck so then I had to get away from that and then I just decided to hide as a scientist like I don't know you know what I mean just make it like call him out where the hell have you been and then he goes to he goes to saver and I went I didn't see that coming I didn't see him taking a freaking thing and do being aggressive like that I liked it I thought

Starting point is 00:39:22 that was a good win for that character I really did like that a lot but I I don't know I just thought there was a smarter way with that character he disappeared for a little while while and then he came back yeah you know like and nobody said where the hell have you been anyway um yeah i would um i definitely don't prefer this over Jurassic world but it was a little it was better than i remember which is well i'll take that as a wood and i will still stick by by my thing by my word and say it is still fun to me but i you see me when a t-rex wars I'm like, it's the greatest thing in the world. And I, that is so much fun.

Starting point is 00:40:06 And there's still so many fun scenes with the dynos in here that I love. And I'm really happy that the bad people got eaten. So you're in my good graces. But what do you guys think? Leave your questions down below. We'll see you for the third one. Tyler Haig. Tyler Haig.

Starting point is 00:40:31 I feel like we should have a person who could be a dinosaur writer dude and there's something about Tyler where he fits the bill for me I could see him

Starting point is 00:40:46 like strap it in the T-Rex putting the nozzle on his face and riding a T-Rex around and having like a sense of joy about it you know like he's always so jolly and full of so much

Starting point is 00:41:00 life. I think he can really change the way the way we see dinosaurs. It'd be very life affirming and yeah, you know, if you see Tyler living his best life, dino back, like, then who are we to limit ourselves to the simple, you know, pleasures and past times of human society? We should all be out there with the creatures of your. And hey, you know, if you can ride a dinosaur, think,

Starting point is 00:41:30 of it you could lead a whole stampede of dinosaurs us at your back watching your six and you know devouring all the lesser creatures in our paths for sure and making a big business out of it too we could sell tickets

Starting point is 00:41:47 people could come watch the running of the dinosaurs and you know once you get tired of whatever dinosaur you started with you could upgrade to a bigger crazier dinosaur each time until you finally conquered them all Tyler happy to have

Starting point is 00:42:00 on our side. Thanks, buddy. Hand thing.
