When did you realize the Prequels sucked?

 Apparently not :^)

 Never heard that one before!

 Then you should get out more.

 Never heard that one either!

 Hearing doesn't seem to be your strong suit, friend.

 We can't tell if comprehension isn't your strong suit, or if humor isn't your strong suit.

Probably both.

 Obviously you're not a golfer.

 What's that got to do with anything?

Jurassic Franchise and discussion (Triassic and Cretaceous discussions allowed as well)
Time

I remember the first time I saw Jurassic Park. It was back in July of 1996, in and around my ninth birthday. I may only have watched it on VHS through a crappy SD TV, but Lord, was I FLOORED by the experience. I don't think any other movie, before or since, ever impressed me so profoundly so quickly as that one movie did. From 1996 to 1998, I considered it one of my favourite movies.

Suffice it to say, once I heard about Lost World the next summer, I was brimming with anticipation to see it. I figured if JP was pure awesome, then Lost World would be even purer awesome. Unfortunately, it wasn't. By the time I got around to seeing it, I was completely underwhelmed by how lame everything was; I've never been able to watch the movie the whole way through in one sitting due to how completely unengaging it is.

Saw Jurassic Park III on TV a year or so after it came out. Found it better than the Lost World, but it still didn't live up to the original. I haven't seen it since.

I finally got around to reading the novel a number of years back. It was alright, but this is one of those rare cases where I find the movie vastly superior to the book. I donated my copy to a thrift store afterward.

Tried to read the Lost World novel after that, but I just couldn't get into it. I eventually gave up and, as with the JP novel, donated my copy to a thrift store (Truth be told, this has happened to all of the Crichton books I've bought and tried to read; the guy's style just doesn't do anything for me.).

I have absolutely no desire to see Jurassic World -- none whatsoever. I don't think I need to go into the reasons why; I've stated my grievances with modern Hollywood more than enough times by now.

[JEDIT]

The triceratops is, has always been, and forever shall be, my favourite dinosaur.

Going away? Post so here!

He should also take into consideration that just because we aren't constantly mentioning him in conversation, that doesn't mean we don't want him back.

For example, I wish Ziggy Stardust would return as a regular poster, but I don't mention him in every other post I make; it's not because of indifference -- there's just not much impetus to bring him up in conversation when he's no longer an active/lingering presence here.
