*sigh* …There just aren't enough good roles out there for white people that aren't vicious, dehumanizing stereotypes. For instance, I'm tired of being accused of being Minnesotan. Nothing could be more degrading.

This offends me and my people. *casually removes six-shooter from holster*

…white people who were probably never asked to fall into a relatively offensive stereotype the second they got to their auditions

Personally, I think Warner should be producing three-to-six Mad Max films per year with a rotating and occasionally changing cast, mostly for Max. What's Jai Courtney doing anyway? Sam Worthington? Anna Kendrick? Gary Busey? Laverne Cox? Idris Elba? Mandy Patinkin? Marty Feldman? Chow Yun-fat? Charlize Theron?

…ANYONE could have played Hardy's role and it would have been fantastic.

Sounds like a very quick "Hyuh-hyuh!" - a laugh - and "Ah-bee-day-yah." The sound is distorted (presumably by cheapness and smallness) a bit but, also, the bump causes a stutter in the sound which adds an extra syllable, making it sound more like, "Hu-hyuh-hyuh" and "Aw-ah-bee-day-yah."

…Who are you talking about? (Spoilers) The annoying helper with no personality (so another non-meaningful or villain death) or the financier with no perspective (so another non-meaningful or villain death)? The random stock side characters?

Something genuinely "newer" in terms of construct would certainly be welcome. Your pitch sounds vaguely like a combination of this and The Purge or something similarly ridiculous yet frighteningly…symbolic. (And, regardless, better than earlier drafts of JP4.)

"That's racist!"

That's possible. However, I've seen so many child actors who are essentially models trying to act (also a lot of late teens and early-twenties "good-looking" actors wind up in this realm)…and this can be particularly grating to me when they're trying too hard to be "just your average, completely cute and innocent

"He's no Jar Jar Binks."

I argued with science using science once but science won out. :-(

…Let's hope that, somehow, the one in 2-3 years has an actual vision to go along with its marketing.

The only characters who should be institutionalized after the events of the original Jurassic Park should be anyone who went through that and didn't need to be institutionalized.

You're hired!

I'm rooting for the asteroid.

This movie has words? …Ugh. Hollywood liberals just keep forcing their agendflkwer lkjawet a;lkjsdf tw.

…I'm out.

Is the "…" "…anything but…"?

As he should. But they have a stupid reason that (while not overtly stated, as far as I recall) exists in-continuity so I can kind of give them an "out." Like a lot of scifi that seems really good until you start to think about the actual logistics of it…
