The dinosaurs were really cool.

I don’t recall any adults taking it seriously. I think they refered to it as “fun”.  
I don’t think they ever intended to set out to make an art film.  
They set out to make a profitable hollywood popcorn blockbuster flick and succeeded in doing so.  
So what’s the problem? Just because that’s not your kind of movie doesn’t mean it was horrible.

Jurassic Park 5 by Lars von Trier. Now he can cut off a really, really big clitoris.

Do _not_ excite the clitorsaurus!  
Since I waited for this movie to come the discount second-run theater (big screen movie fun $2!!!), I didn’t need much to make up for the cost of my ticket. Still, this movie _almost_ didn’t deliver even that much. I got my value for my dollar in the person of Lauren Lapkus. Thank you, Lauren. Thank you for every scene you’re in in anything you do.

The big moment when the one control room guy makes the decision to stay behind, then confidently and heroically strides up to Lauren Lapkus to plant a big heroic kiss on her lips …and she quickly backs away, “Oooh! No! I have a boyfriend!”
