Jurassic Park db forum

Ok, well... PG doesn't sound like a Jurassic Park film..., to me, I'd say its best rated "M", as the "slight" cursing, violence and such come under this..., so in other words..., you might not want to 'swear out loud'... eg: get them to mutter it under their breath... or something like that. But not out loud... (lol, unless you have a charcter suitable enough for this)...

Anyway, this draft is very good. I like your ideas incorporated into it, as they seem very VERY JP-like. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
Now, the thing I think you may need to work on is the realism... at the moment, it does seem rather realistic, but you seem to be holding it back a bit. You need to throw in how people interact/communicate and such into it. You've got a great work in progress, but I'd like you to develop that realism a bit more... my English teacher always tells me to observe how people communicate and interact with each other in the real world... this might give a few ideas...? --but you can also observe other past JP characters too...

As for the Golden Tooth..., yes, that goes a little too far..., even for a Costa Rican (if he is one)... it seems far too... 'Pirates of the Caribbeanian' type...

The Hide And Seek scene is PERFECT! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I found the 'hiding the sample in the crotch' bit as a comical scene..., you may keep this if you wish. Though, I'm not sure how half of the audience would react to that...

I also think that Levine needs to be hassled a bit more..., make him protest a bit more or something... and then get the guy to threaten him...and continue on with the rest of your scene.

Hm, you've done a great job of this! Keep it up! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
I think you could best move onto a Dodgson scene now, but here's a little hint...
*Don't forget to balance your movie with scenes..., don't go from intense scenes to another intense one. Make sure you even up the movie with a few softer scenes and don't make them too complex either. You wouldn't want the audience sitting there confused.*

Anyway, what have YOU got in mind next?

This is turning out to be perfect. Add some Raptor action as well and you have quite a film. Perhaps a Ceratosaurus could also have a part with additional herbivores that have also swam to mainland. But the Raptors should definitely be the main dinosaurs of this story.

Thanks for the comments guys and I'll look at juicing up the levine scene...
wednesday should be another release date! maybe thursday..

i just thought that some people in the audience might get offended by how you're portraying the Costa Rican government

the lazy government type...well, it seems that this job is way too important for the government to send in their lowest agents. seems they would use more focused types to get it over with quickly before anyone finds out.

all the JP movies have been PG-13(at least in the US..i don't know what rating they have elsewhere) so the crotch comedy and cursing might not play well with a large portion of the audience.



well from there, i agree it would be a good time to introduce Dodgson. but also the main characters(unless you want to pull a Star Wars which didn't introduce Luke until 20 min into the movie /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> ) you could have him talking with his superiors about the new job BioSyn has for him...or have him working on the new plan. there are a lot of ways to implement Dodgson.


also remember that in the book, nobody knew about the islands, so neither did Levine. but in the movie world, everyone knows about them, so Levine would already know that the dinosaurs were there.

Hm ok... I'll check on the suitable rating for JP later..., but wouldn't you agree that due to its contents, it would be bext rated "M?"....

Actually, I was thinking...
These 'lazy gov. types' they don't seem like Government people... they seem more like a tough-dont-mess-with-me secret service or something lol...

Well, it could be set out in a way to make Levine think that these islands do exist, BUT the Government has be dening that they are real... sorta like in JP3, where one charcter mentioned the existance of the 2nd Island, and then Alan denies it.

well none of the prior JP's have had cursing and the violence wasn't too bad, so i would say no


well, he said they were supposed to be government agents. and secret service still works for the government(actually, secret service is only for the president...i think...but i could be wrong) secret service agents are usually inconspicuous, you know, keep a low profile, and not draw attention. i think he might be basing these guys off the ones in the book, and i don't remember them being like that.


he didn't actually deny it, he avoided the comment ("when the Costa Rican government decides how to handle that second island, scientists will just go in and look for themselves") and talks about real scientists and real discoveries. then that girl asks him if he would ever want to study on Isla Sorna, and he replies "No force on Earth or Heaven..could get me on that island." this confirms to the public (if they didn't believe yet) that it really is there. plus with the San Diego incident, and that news broadcast on TV(CNN?), with Hammonds statement, Isla Sorna was public knowledge.

Hm. True...
I don't have my own copy of the film(s) so I have to refer to them out of memory

i was also refering to them out of memory /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

but if you check it you'll see that it is very accurate..though the comment by the male student might have a few more words in it, but it was like "and all them" or something

Tomorrow i'll post another srry for the delay!

remember to use our input /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
