Dinosaurs on a Wednesday!

It’s Wednesday, so we’re almost at the end of the week. I’ve got a dentist appointment on Friday, which kicks off a week-long vacation for me. So I’ve got a lot to look forward to! Until then, how about a fun video from Tell It Animated about dinosaurs?

I am not someone who is upset with the idea of feathered dinosaurs. I’m all about science discovering and realizing more truths about dinos. Bring on all the information!

I’m not at all interested in the new Jurassic World movie. I’m mostly upset that they’ve kept the “World” titling. This is a new iteration of the franchise. They should have come up with a new name to use. Jurassic Island? Jurassic Earth? Jurassic Knoll? I dunno. They could have come up with something new.

We All Just Have to Accept Another Jurassic World Movie

I have long been a proponent of the idea that other people should make dinosaur movies. The Jurassic films shouldn’t have a monopoly on dinosaurs! But here comes Jurassic World: Rebirth. It’s a new relaunch of the series, with new characters and plots. And yet they’re keeping the Jurassic World name. Because whatever, man.

It looks fine. I have zero interest in seeing this film. They’re making up mutant dinosaurs now, just to be scarier. And whatever. I dunno. It’s just been a while since I posted anything, and I suppose most people might be interested in this movie? It’s probably going to be more successful than both Fantastic Four: First Steps and the new Superman film, both also coming out in July.

I guess we’ll see. Jurassic World: Rebirth comes to theaters on July 2.

They’re Making Another Jurassic Movie

We all probably should have just assumed a new movie in the Jurassic franchise was coming. Why would they stop? Didn’t the last one still surpass a billion dollars, even though it wasn’t very good? I don’t know. I don’t keep track. But I do watch trailers! Like this trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth.

Question: If you’re going with a rebirth, why call it Jurassic World? Why not Jurassic Park: Rebirth? Is Jurassic World now the more recognizable franchise name? Though based on the trailer, it’s not like they’re rebuilding the park, so perhaps that name wouldn’t work. But they did rebuild the park in the movie Jurassic World! Now I’m just going around in circles.

Maybe they should have called it something else. Jurassic Island. Jurassic Planet. Jurassic Adventure. Could have been anything, really. Jurassic Galaxy, but it still only takes place on an island.

This trailer looks about as solid as every other Jurassic World movie, so who knows. It comes to theaters on July 2!

Tell It Animated Tackles Dinosaurs!

The excellent YouTube channel Tell It Animated has decided on a new style for their latest episode. Rather than just trace a famous character’s style designs over the decades, he’s now decided to do the Jurassic Park dinosaurs by comparing them to real world science! Way to introduce science to those dinosaurs!

This is a pretty neat idea. I bet dinosaurs are tougher to draw than Freddy or Batman. But I enjoyed the video and look forward to him making more of this style. Do all the dinosaurs!

And, as always, my recommendation for a new video is Robin!

Jurassic World: Dominion is Just Doing It

I haven’t been the biggest fan of the Jurassic World series. I dunno. They’re just nothing special, as far as I’m concerned. But at least it looks like they’re going for broke in the threequel. And I’m as much of a sucker for nostalgic cameos as the next idiot.

It looks fine to me. Lots of dinosaurs. All the familiar actors. Plenty of action. I don’t even really remember what exactly I haven’t cared for in the earlier Jurassic World movies. They’re just not…well put together? I dunno. But this looks fine.

Jurassic World: Dominion comes out on June 10.
