Jurassic World. Does this have anything to do with the dino 'can' transporter Nedry loses in the first movie? Like, all that dino DNA gets to jumble around while going through the Prometheus Niagara first act, followed by a reversal of any need for regular infusions of lysine, because as we know, there's plenty of it in the captive audience just waiting to go down a treat.

It always puzzled me that scene, with so much focus on that can falling down the bank as if it was going to have a major impact later in the storyline. What did it mean?

It just meant that Nedry didn't manage to take it off the island.

Of course, you don't really need any cans for JURASSIC WORLD to take place. In this universe, there are still dinosaurs roaming about on Isla Sorna and, presumably, Isla Nublar. The research is literally alive. It would be intriguing to know, though, how they've managed to keep the two islands isolated for all the years that have passed since no. 3.

Maybe it was supposed to be like Janet Leigh's blood swirling down the drain in Psycho. Meaning it was just to dramatize the end of Nedry's plan.

Yeah, that's what I said above.

Interestingly, we return to Nedry's crash area just a short while after it has happened in Telltale's JURASSIC PARK game.

Had to chuckle at the spoiler block, Zap. Your protecting people from one of the most famous images in cinema history is kinda like hiding the revelation that "Rosebud" was a sled in Citizen Kane.

Rosebud was not just representative of the sled as a mere physical object, was it? It was the fork in the road that separated Kane's childhood innocence, symbolised in the film by the sled, from his dominating sense of ambition which could only have arisen by his change in fortune through a chance event. Rosebud was the alternate threadbare future option he was denied in favor of all things utilitarian at the fork in the road, whereby he might otherwise have evolved as a different person.

Rosebud was Kane's realisation, at the end, of a possibility lost to time. The brilliant use of Citizen Kane's symbolism via the snow globe was re-interpreted in the Richard Gere and Diane Lane film, Unfaithful, as a sort of bifurcation from a point in time. In Citizen Kane, the snow globe represents the crystal ball through which Kane has prismatically evaluated his life in the final moment.

With all the runaway dinos in JP we can assume they eventually turned on the killer jean or virus what ever was supposed to be the fail safe. Which means all the dino's would have died.

I saw the can of embryos as way of bringing the dinosaurs back for the sequel. Of course someone would have to find the canister (and even know its not a can of shaving cream!) But they decided not to go into that direction. Instead they came up with the idea most of the dino's were birthed, safely contained, and raised on a different island.

In short it's a plot point they just dropped.

I am tirelessly amused that this thread is so full of uppity people, angry about the fictional continuity of a franchise that involves people running away from digital (extinct!) animals and a scifi franchise that was for good and all run into the ground over a decade ago.

Meanwhile, theres riots going on in the world, war, poverty, famine, global weather changes and the goddamn Ice Capades...

Quite true. What's the point of any forms of entertainment with all these terrible things happening...

He, he....indeed.

Solium, LOST WORLD basically makes away with the genome that kills the dinos, as some frog DNA is known to swap sex. "Life finds a way" and all that. So I don't think there was anything more to the cannister being buried by mud than a definite 'demise' for the Nedry character.

Oh, I was just making an amusing aside. Considering the vitriol I've unleashed over Star Trek reboots and Skyfall, no one should hold me to any standard beyond self-awareness.

Ah yes, I forgot about the discovery of the dino eggs in JP.

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Sounds great, I think there's a musical there. Time for Russell Crowe to sing live again smile

"Hot" Pacific - a truly "vibrant" musical whose flaming embers will have you dancing and yelling on the spot!

So because there are "real" issues we can't have expectations/disappointments regarding the arts? Puh-lease.

Now where's my soapbox?!

You people worry about the important stuff while I will of course continue to obsess over yellowing comic book pages, dented CD booklets, cracked jewel cases, and the Varese (online) Riots of 2015 because the label once again "stuck it to us" with yet another lackluster release.

Some of us actually donate to Red Cross and the Human Society so have every right to bitch about the trivial things in life. wink
