I am shocked, shocked! That a cynical and completely unnecessary attempt to try and wring more money out of a beloved film franchise is not very good

Star Wars provided some slight hope in showing we’re not quite at the point of being able to slap a label on absolutely everything and get away with it, given that The Rise of Skywalker might have grossed less than Joker (the fact it’s so close between the two is telling to say the least).

I’d also love to know how a mosquito bites an animal that lives in the middle of the fucking ocean.

Nostalgia is a drug.  

Gotta stop mixing mosasaur dna with genetic material from the zilla genome

Well, everyone kept going to those Transformers movies until they suddenly weren't. They always end up making too many trips to the well.

It’s like the Transfomrers movies. People kept seeing them, then saying “ugh.” Then going back to see them again.

That fuckin’ Mosasaur kills me every time, it’s like three times bigger than any Mosasaur ever was. It’s half again as big as a blue whale. Real ones would be scary in the same way as being in the water with a extra-long skinny killer whale, not this kaiju shit.

Like the one thing I ever wanted from the Jurassic series…

I have long since accepted people are dumb.  How anyone can have watched the last Jurassic World and wanted more is beyond me.  But have at it hoss!  You want big dumb dinosaurs, enjoy.

Okay but this movie is apparently more about prehistoric locusts than even dinosaurs so *shrug* 

I disagree completely: Jurassic Park just came out and no I’m not old, you’re old, shut up, leave me alone, I’m going home now to take a nap because I’m still young and active.

I’ma go ahead and say that Jurassic World will not hold onto it’s #1 spot next week. Next weekend’s #1 will be Lightyear, which will hold the #1 spot for two weeks. Minions will get a week on top, then Thor dominates the top spot the rest of July. 

“After just last night, Trump lost any semblance of legitimacy”

First off, thank you for trying to learn more. I should qualify that I can’t speak for all Asian people, so this is just based on my experiences as a Canadian raised child of Hong Kong immigrants. I mean, my profile picture is a slanty-eyed caricature of me holding a Rubik's Cube.

It depends on how egregiously stereotypical it is. It's one thing to have someone doing a standard accent, and another to do voices like this: https://youtu.be/8KLWnE-dJUA 

It’s rooted in film and television history. For example, they would write Black characters with extremely poor, exaggerated English in a way to make the Black characters seem stupid. They did the same with Asian characters, exaggerating linguistic (and visual) differences to a level that can only be described as…

This will live past Trump. If anything he will be a martyr in their cause and use by people like DeSantis to get votes.

Will politicians be arrested over this? Maybe not but they probably won’t be able to run for office any longer.

“On the next Arrested Development . . . “

Yup, sadly I’m anticipating the same and am bracing for the next 40 years of “President” DeSantis. We’ve been talking about cancel culture but they will legitimately be cancelling culture.
