I address the source material, which I have read, in the review. I also acknowledge the ways in which Kaufman radically transforms and expands upon it. Having seen the movie (twice!), I can assure you that he brings a strangeness to the material that is in not in the (also strange) novel.

Did I really had to put /s ?

Wrong. You are free to say whatever you want. You are, however, not free from the responsibility and consequences of what comes out of your mouth. 

The characters are not “well-rounded” or whatever but they are well-sketched and then given to actors who know what they’re doing. Dern and Neill and Goldblum play exactly what they need to play.

I think the idea of having the park open was a great idea, I just wish it was explored more, if it was structured closer to JP there could have been more time spent with the active park before the chaos ensued. It really needed a more experienced director and a few more rewrites to excise alot of the garbage, like the…

I think you are the 1st person I have seen that thought Lost World was better. Personally I think aside from the effects, everything about that movie is done much worse. I don’t find any of the characters likable and Spielberg was clearly not interested in making it the same as he was for JP.

That entire T. rex scene, where the vehicles get attacked, is a bloody marvel in every way. There’s the beautiful visual shorthand of seeing the tethered goat (as a reminder it’s there - Chekhov’s goat? - and as a cue to the audience as to where the vehicles have stopped), the first, ominous ‘boom’ of the footstep…

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen this movie, and don’t care to think how many more I’ll see it. Doesn’t matter if it’s on Syfy or Netflix, background noise or the main attraction, I’m still going to watch it.

Obama: “Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t.”

This certainly looks like a film about two people set against the back drop of a city that is a character unto itself.

He just barely survived his run in with the Coen Brothers.  

Would you look at that...Marlon Wayans is still alive!

You are very exotic looking. Was your father a GI?

It’s almost as if actors are able to step into the shoes of people who lived different lives!

Given the cast, this feels like one of those Netflix shows that already released in Europe and they’re just now releasing here. Only in this case, they’re Americanizing it by changing the names and locations.

Because no one has a better grasp of the post-war, rural American experience like a bunch of Brits, Australians and a Swede.

You must have missed that Key & Peele sketch:

Coming soon: Family Lives Matter, the gritty reboot. Carl Winslow is retired from the force, and now Eddie is following in his footsteps as a police officer, but is having increasingly conflicted feelings about what it means to be a black cop in America, and is struggling to find a way to reconcile his desire to…

I’d seriously love a reboot/revival of Family Matters, that harkens back to the roots of the first season, and pretends Urkel never existed.  

NBC oscillates pretty wildly between retaining their big SNL-grown stars and carelessly pushing them away (like letting Brooklyn 99 get away, then turning around and picking it up for several more seasons post-Fox). It is definitely strange that the creator of Scrubs and an SNL guy who created this character for NBC…
