[Salacious Growling at Paleontologists]

Jurassic Park was running wild on my main blog, so I decided to put it all here instead. You'll find some regular dinosaur-related stuff scattered around as well.

Someone painted this.

Someone out there sat down and said that they were going to paint this.

Somebody planned this out and then did it.

What a time to be alive.

I like this ad for several reasons.

-The kids are just as amazed at the idea of a dinosaur eating rocks as they are at the sight of an actual living, talking dinosaur 

-Rocky D’s behavior mirrors that of the stereotypical drug-dealer character in just about every anti-drug kids’ PSA produced from 1980 to 2003. Instead of a cartoon wolf pushing smack, however, he’s a dinosaur offering candy.

-I never had these as a kid, even though I’d have eaten rock-like candy in a second.

Here are some pictures of my hike to the Ho’opi’i falls in Kaua’i. The filming for the amber mine in the first Jurassic Park took place further downstream near the lower falls, which we ran out of time to get to. I was really disappointed as it was our last day in Kaua’i and couldn’t come back later, but in retrospect it was still a beautiful hike that made me feel like I was dropped right into the heart of Isla Nublar.

Heyyyy guys I’m back from the trip! It was really incredible. I wanted to provide pictures and  updates during the trip, but I ended up being so busy I never had the time. I actually ended up doing a helicopter tour in Kaua’i and got to see the Napali Coast, Hanapepe Valley, and Manawaiopuna Falls! Sadly however I did not get to visit any locations up close due to the cost of getting into the botanical gardens not being worth it for my family ($45 a pop for Allerton where the hatched eggs were found in the first film), not having the time for a tour of Kahili ranch, and not having a four-wheel-drive vehicle to drive to the gate. I nearly  had it on the Ho’opi’i Falls where they filmed Gennaro’s introductory scene at the the amber mine. We located the upper falls but got turned around trying to find the lower falls down the river where they actually filmed, and ran out of the little time we were running on. Maybe in years to come I’ll have the chance to try again. Nonethless, expect pictures and possibly video soon!

Heading to Kaua’i and Hawai’i’s Big Island in a few days with my family! Planning to visit as many Jurassic Park filming sites as possible (fingers crossed for the gate location). Don’t think we’ll have the time+money for a helicopter tour to see Manawaiopuna Falls, sadly. Would love to hike to it, but like many JP shooting sites, it’s on private land. I do have Limahuli Garden on my hitlist though!

Will try to take pictures to share here, so expect that in coming days.

First concrete words I've heard in a long time. I don't need this movie to be good. I just need it to be fun. That's what defines the first movie more than anything. Cheesy, unrealistic, but fully-realized fun.

On a second note that actually ties this to the theme of this blog: if they do a good job with integrating their old cast, it may inspire JP to bring more of their own older cast into the mix. They're both similarly aged and well-loved blockbusters, and share a main cast member, after all.

After slight detours to different islands in micro sequels where heroes from Jurassic Park experienced more dinosaur terror, Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World picks up twenty-two years after the original adventure. Ten years prior to film’s opening, Masrani Global stood on the shoulders...

Got the free Lego build from Toys R Us today! It is super cute and the doors swivel open!

One question about Jurassic World from everyone else whose seen it- what did you think of the dinosaur cgi? It feels wrong to say that I rarely felt like I was seeing the puppets (and to be fair- it's their job to make me not know) but do you think the cgi's integration was good (or at least, as good as the previous films)? I can't tell if I just have a knee-jerk reaction to cgi or not.

Just watched Jurassic World!

My only comment is this:

What on earth ever happened emergency shelters and drills?
