Without capitalism, maybe they wouldn’t have continued when they found out there wasn’t enough DNA for complete dinosaurs.

Or maybe they would have had enough time to think things through, and use safer/more appropriate replacement DNA.

Just spit balling.

Not that weird, considering they already had that in the original movie. Frog DNA.

Wait until they hear about Erdogan.

Oftentimes better than a master of one.

There can be only one!

Did I do it right?

“indicates films playing in theaters around the world in the week commencing 31 January 2025.”

From the Wikipedia page.

It isn’t, really. It has funny moments, but on the whole it’s an action adventure film, and a very good one at that.

They even mention it in the article, seemingly without any awareness of the irony.

I can, but only when it makes sense.

It made sense for Dune, where the story is too vast to tell in one movie of reasonable length. Lawrence of Arabia proved that it is possible, but also that it’s not easy.

This was a stage production, which you watch in one sitting, with intermission, more than likely.

In this adaptation, that intermission will be longer than half an hour. Way longer.

I have no hope that it will turn out to be a good adaptation.

Because low effort horror producers are the first to need a “new” idea, and expired or public domain properties are the easiest way to get them.

It’s not written by Baum, though.

Surely, you’re not serious?

Faith-based has been another word for films with a religious emphasis for a long time now.

And pointing out that he’s a Christian is par for the course on Christian websites, and relevant, since the film is religious, and readers may wonder why he’s making one.

Not that it’s been an obscure fact that he’s Christian. He’s ben very open about it.

It’s a Christian site. What kind of spin would they put on that headline?

Nah, I was just quoting one of the most memorable lines from the movie.

It was fun, but definitely not a good movie.

Satanic! To the gulag.

But, but…

There was a firefight!

Not yet. But they’re hard at work making it happen.

So, protestant?

Yup! People will have no job because of this. The least they can do is be honest and unambiguous.
