The internet hysteria over this one strongly suggests it is the most horribly disturbing thing/artwork/moviefilm ever created, ever, and that it will give me ptsd, nightmares, ruin my life, and hurt me deeply in my heart
HELL YEAH CANT FUCKEN WAIT |

letting Ian Malcolm live made sense because they knew he was going to be awkwardly resurrected anyway, but I never got why they let Hammond live

I don't even remember TLW novel very well, but in the movie didn't they invent a biracial daughter for Malcolm and all kinds of other random shit?

The movie has very little in common with the book, outside of the rescue operation to save Sara (Moore) and the scene with the trailers going over the cliff, which is still badass to this day. |

And because it was the early '90s and he died in everything back then, Sam Jackson had to go as well. |

I did so many book reports on the Jurassic Park novel in grade school/junior high that my peers started calling me out on it.

Was Crichton a climate denier? I have heard people say that, but what I remember him saying in JP is that humans are egoistical to believe we can "destroy the world" when in fact we don't have that power. The Earth is going to destroy us to reset balance, as we are actually just one more natural process on this planet.

Sphere might be one of the worst Crichton adaptations if not one of the worst movies ever.

not that it matters, life is a supercomputer simulation running on a matrioshka brain in space and consciousness is an illusion

I think we are destroying Earth's ability to support us, and there is a lot of collateral damage, but I don't know if it matters or not if things ever go back to "the way they were," you know? Earth's climate has changed over and over throughout history and life has ultimately adapted and been successful, so that's kind of how I interpreted Crichton's perspective. I'm definitely not saying that it *doesn't matter* that there is so much suffering going on in the world both in the human and natural realms because of our actions. We have brought imbalance to the whole planet and now catastrophic things are going to happen. But I do think from a big picture perspective, we are just another natural phenomenon which Earth produced, and because we are fucking with systems so much higher and more powerful than ourselves, the pendulum is just gonna swing back and wipe most of us out in order to bring balance. But the mass extinction going on now is not objectively any different than other natural disasters which have totally upended ecological order on our planet. It's just another test of natural selection. |

it's a bizarre time to be alive.
incredible, obtuse, enlightening, unfortunate, prosperous without precedent, yet deeply sick and sad. all at the same time. |

Hereditary - 9/10
Woo boy, what a film. Very well-crafted horror that pulls you slowly in before completely pummeling you. I watch a LOT of horror, but this one definitely had me wrapped around its finger. Do yourself a favor: don't read any reviews or any fine details. If you've seen the trailer, let that be enough. Just go see it. |

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - 2/5
Some kinda fun moments lost in a sea of annoyingly boring moments. Still better than The Lost World. |

ok so, semi-unrelated question.
when i was little, i distinctly remember hearing a lot of talk about how humans damaged the ozone beyond the point of no return, and that even though it is capable of healing a considerable amount, it will never be able to heal completely. it has always stayed with me since then, and is kind of a triggery recurring thought. but now, i'm watching a video that says the ozone hole over antartica is healing surprisingly well and is expected to make a full recovery by the year of 2060. anyone got a quick draw on this? |

I have no idea how well the Earth is able to repair ozone holes, but I have read about how the Antarctic hole is repairing a lot faster than predicted
