Speaker 1 (00:03):
The Sticky the Giant typical.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Last night, me and Christina, at separate venues, saw Jurassic
World Rebirth.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Sure did?
Speaker 3 (00:20):
She seems excited. She clapped two times.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right, I saw it in three D?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
What so?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I saw it in three D. Her eyes a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Probably won't do that again.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Where I amc okay, because they have the deal where
it's half off right on Tuesday Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I didn't even know it was in three D or
they were showing it in three D.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, where'd you see it?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I went to Alamo Draft House, which I highly recommend
because they do that cool thing that they do with
every movie, like they were showing Jurassic Park commercials from
the nineties. They were showing all these music videos with
dinosaurs in them.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
That's what I sent you, guys. It's probably hard to
make out.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Did you know that weird al has a whole Jurassic
Park song with Jurassic Park video?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
What is it? A spoof of It's Oh God, I
can't remember the name.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I'll have to find it for.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You by my Sharona.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
No, I would want to let it be known.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Christina and I have not talked about this at all
on purpose because I wouldn't see if our reviews matched up. Cool,
so let's let her go first as the resident dinosaur lover. Okay, yes,
you guys know I love Jurassic Park. Nothing will touch
the original, and I'll repeat that after seeing the Jurassic
World rebirth. Nothing will touch the original. So it was
(01:32):
super fun.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Though I had a lot of fun, I would I
would equate it to like a roller coaster. It's basically
watching a roller coaster. I was sitting right next to
my mom and she was like screaming throughout it and
like just the entire time. So again, it's a lot
of fun, I would say, though, there was one storyline
that they had in there that they did not.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Need to add.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
They didn't need to add it, and it's it's what
ruined the movie for me. Like at the end, I
was like, this is so stupid. Without that one storyline
that again was not necessary, this movie would be almost perfect. Seriously,
there was one. It's the first fifteen to twenty minutes.
In the last fifteen to twenty minutes of the movie
ruined it for me.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Can you just give us a hint as to what
the storyline is without giving anything away.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Uh okay.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
So to spice up Jurassic Park to get more people
to come back and see them, they had to do
like hybrid dinosaurs.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Oh, it's a fake dinosaur. Probably that you're like, you're
a pure dinsometary.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yes, a pure dinosaurs.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
They were genetically modifying dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Further out, Yeah, for money when.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They juiced the base balls and a lab.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
There's a lab that's near the equator because it's an
island where all the most dangerous dinosaurs are nice.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It's like the little buff boys competition. They're juiced. Yeah,
they're juice. It's an industry term. They're juice. They're juice. Yeah,
it's not it's the island of Doctor Moreau, but it's
what are we doing island of doctor Jurassic Park? Do
you have a great island of Algero?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So without that storyline, I loved it. I would have
given it an eight point two eight point two.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
So would you give it with the storyline?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Stupid storyline?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Six point one wow, two point one deduction?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
She hates the fake dinosaur that they employed in the
same unbelievable I will say the.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Last one does suck the real bad one at the end. Okay,
So here's Scarlett Johanson. I'm gonna I'll spoil a little
bit of it, not all of it, Please don't Scarlet.
Scarlett Johansson is being hired too, because she had a
military background, and she's being hired by Nathan Fillion, the
guy from Firefly Right.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I like these stories because there are so many smoking
hot chicks in the military.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
He's like, hey, she's she's the assassin. Will you go
on this dangerous mission and trike ten billion dollars or
ten million dollars. She's like, yeah, I don't have any money,
let's do it.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So she's in.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So it's a commentary about how we treat our veterans.
Got it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Maharsa or Ali is her old running buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So they knew each other from the past, and they're
going to the dangerous island and what they need to
do is get three dinosaurs and they need to shoot them, okay,
and then get their blood. And if you take that
blood back to America. Nathan Fillion's heart disease. He thinks
he can cure heart disease in America. He's really just
(04:20):
you know in it for the money, you know, so
that's you're gonna find that out. I gotta say, my gosh,
damn love this movie.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, what what'd you give it?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I kind of liked all of it?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What'd you give it?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Eight?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
At ten?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Eight point what eight?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Eight point what written tomatoes meter?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eighty one percent?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You gave it an eight point one percent eighty three percent?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
So there was Seriously, there's one chasinge in it that
is one of the best chasings I've ever freaking seen.
Like I had my feet up, like in my chair,
like crouching behind like it was so awesome.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It was so fun cool.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm telling you, like whatever, I know, you're every movie
like this is gonna have a plot whole or seven.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Great.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
She's right, though the last dinosaur were very stupid looking.
There's like that at all. There's already a sequel to
this one. Have you guys seen it? Jurassic Park Afterbirth?
Okay that's yeah? Uh I thought Scarlett, they didn't make
her getting tangled in some love story that took away from.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Anything, and I actually really appreciated that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yes, yeah, because she was actually good as kind of
the hard ass role I wanted.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Her to like run out in the rain and a
white T shirt.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh my god, there's dinosaurs over there, and then the
other sexy scientists like, let's take cover behind the ship.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
They didn't do that KT because they had a dinosaur
love love story.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Remember that part, Yeah, the dinosaur love story.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And you know the guy playing that's a guy named
Jonathan Bailey who is very famous amongst the youth. He
is a very hot gay guy and he he was
in I think Wicked and all that stuff. So that's
where he's That's where if she was going to hook
up with someone, was gonna be with him. But he's
totally gay in real life and really loved the calves
of a Bronosaurus hybrid.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Well yeah, touching it. She did hook up with bone
Yang though at that time on SNL.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
