Oh what a joy, Crash, kill and destroy

Before abandoning the silly adventure theme and moving on to making serious historical epics full-time?

yes, that kind. is it?

Well, he said he's not doing any more of the blockbuster kind after Schindler's List, but he decided to make one more of those as a treat for his new studio, because, as he says, he can do movies like that blindfolded, and just to prove it to everyone, went ahead and directed The Lost World blindfolded, and that's what the movie looks like.

he even didn't see that one of this huge green/brown tings ate the dog!!

Yeah!! This is a huge event in the history of film-making: For the first time the dog doesn't survive! But I don't find that particularly funny, because the same thing happened to my dog a few months ago.

but this huge monster that ate your dog wasn't green, right?

Of course not. It was a Brontosaurus. It was brown.

but i thought that all those lizards were green.

Well, since skin color doesn't show on bones, nobody really knows what was the color of most of those dinosaurs. They could actually be any color.

so what you're really saying is that maybe they were light blue, goldfish red or even pink?

Yeah! Imagine the humiliation! Suppose you go back in time and get eaten by a pink T-rex - You'll die of embarrassment!
Anyway, I really don't know why everyone hates this movie. I think Spielby did a great job - for a blindfolded guy, anyway - and this movie is one of the best background flicking images for popcorn-eating I've ever seen. Not that we had much of it.

not all of us have the ability to do two things in the same time, like walking up the stairs and holding a bowl full of popcorn - RED! but as i remember it, the few pieces of popcorn you did manage to keep in the bowl were very good.

Yeah, they were among the best this year. But we'd had more of it if you did something to help me when I stumbled instead of just standing there laughing your ass off while I struggle with the bowl!

there are things more important then saving the popcorn. like trying to keep steady on the stairs while i'm laughing my ass off.

Your kindness never cease to amaze me. Anyway, concentrate, concentrate! We have a movie here to discuss! um, right?

i thought that that is what we're doing. umm....

I mean writing about those motion pictures we saw, with the Dolby sound. I liked the scene with the trailer hanging off a cliff. I always said a good trailer can make the whole movie.

but you have to say that movie wasn't for the trailer like it was for all the fx. like making all this dino-stuff, all the guys that get eaten and this gum-guy.

Yeah - and it cost much less to make than the first Jurassic Park, that didn't have half as many dinosaurs. Which only goes to show that today you can make anything you want with computer graphics. You know that there's no such animal, but try to prove it.

but we lost here the real story in this movie. it was a sad story about a family that, because of the interference of the outside world, splits up. about a father who will do anything to protect his little son in the new world (and teach him to chew people).

But of course, May. That goes without saying. You shouldn't have even mentioned that.
