That poor Velociraptor.

I think my posting history makes it clear that, if a mass grave filled with the corpses of a clan of fuzzy wuzzy cave bears is ever found, I will be a prime suspect.

I would think that your posting history makes clear that if a mass grave filled with the corpses of pretty much anything, up to and including Athenian Acolytes, is ever found you will be a prime suspect.

He got his last laugh on her, He became a much more successful programmer - sorry, hacker - in The Social Network as Dustin Moskovitz.

[del]Chefs[/del] Raptors do that.

LMAO, Now I’ve got this Geena Davis - Raptor amalgam floating in my brain.

Geena Davis/T.Rex amalgam…it’s why it was running after the jeep with Malcolm in the back…

Well. At least they didn’t shooooooooot her!!!

Doesn’t that depend on which humans?

Last I knew the whole warm-blooded/cold-blooded dinosaurs was still up for debate, but if the raptor was cold-blooded, it would be a pretty humane death. Metabolism would just slow down and it would pass out.

My villain hat is off.

No, not really.

I simply cannot believe that the “velociraptors” shown in Jurassic Park are cold-blooded. They’re way too fast and agile. Likewise the hadrosaurs.

Did we see hadrosaurs in Jurassic Park? I thought we saw them from a distance, but the ones we saw running really fast were Gallimumus…es.

I think there was a hadrosaur in JP II, but I could be wrong.

Also, as I think on that movie, it occurs to me that there was an exception to my “no sympathy for human-eating predators” rule. The asshole hunter who took the electric prod to the compys clearly brought his fate on himself.

Oh yeah, that’s the one they bring down at the beginning.

I always watch hoping that this time Nick Van Owen will get brutally eaten, actually. He’s responsible for more deaths than anyone in that whole movie!

ETA: Well arguably Hammond’s responsible for it all because he created them…

I was going to opine that Nick Van Owen’s recklessness is an intervening act. But then I remembered that Hammond sent him there to do just what he did. Nick is inarguably the real villain here. I mean, for Athena’s sake – he stole the ammunition of the anti-T-Rex gun after one of his own guys got ripped to pieces by a pair of 'em.

I am of the firm opinion that the reason Nick is absent from the third act is that when Sarah and Malcolm discover that he stole the ammo, they pushed him out of the helicopter.

It was just a crush before, but now I am officially in love.

I like to think so, too. But Sarah Harding is a fruitcake herself. This is the woman who yelled at Nick for smoking a cigarette because anything they brought into this world could impact the dinosaurs they were observing. This not five minutes after she nearly got herself killed petting a baby stegosaur.

When watching Jurassic Park the thought that ought to go through your head is “poor Velociraptors. Some rotten bastards plucked all their feathers away !”

…but perhaps you’ve said too much.

But he spared no expense in doing so!

That’s just incompetence. I can forgive it as a momentary lapse based on the awesomeness of baby stegosaurs, and also because she was played by Julianne Mooore, who is of course a goddess.

What was I talking about

Right, Nick. He’s just evil. And I mean that in the bad way.
