  Welcome to Cretaceous Park!

    Doesn’t quite have the ring to it.

      I think it would, if that was what they named the book and movie.

    We spared many expenses. Mainly IT and personnel expenses.

  It’s named that way because of the raptor intelligence. “Can this raptor open doors?” “You bet jurassican”

    Daaad!

  We really won’t talk about those “velociraptors”? The annoying kid at the beginning of the movie was the only one to get their description surprisingly accurate when he said they looked like a 2m turkey.

    Velociraptors? Nowadays we have Wall Street

    Also, wrong continent for Velociraptors (they were in Hell Creek Montana/South Dakota).

    Deinonychus or UtahRaptors are the right size and continent, but don't sound as cool as "Velociraptor"

      I mean, nowhere in the film do they say that they stuck to cloning local dinos.

    But a very smart one!

    This has been talked about again and again yes. Thymey wanted them bigger for better visual result, they made them bigger

    source
  • Ziglin@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I thought that they were a little smaller too

    source
• OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Don’t be pedantic. They picked the name because it sounded cool and got the point across.

  • WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s a pun on “electric park”, which is what amusement parks were called when electricity was still a new thing.

    source

    • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      that is a perfect TIL.

      thanks

    And “they” means the characters, not the writer.

    source

    • itsprobablyfine@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Not just that but a character that is written as glossing over important details for profit

  And most likely it’s because of that movie that regular people know a Cretaceous even existed and what animals where there. It did kick the field and public interest into high gear.

  source

  • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It absolutely did for me! I know I enjoy dinosaurs because of that movie alone. The awe, the wonder of what could be. It was a glorious time to rent it from Blockbuster and have a family night watching all these movie hits.

    You aren’t suggesting that not every child has a dinosaur fixation somewhere from ages 2-10?

  It wasn’t even a park, it was a zoo.

  source

  • Wbear@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    A zoological park?

    source

    • negativenull@piefed.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      A biological preserve?

  Cropped off the final text because fuck everyone that’s why

  source
• Ghyste@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  The name itself was foreshadowing of their ignorance.

  source
• saltesc@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  iirc the John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect nostalgia, though.

  • Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Yeah he talks pretty openly about it being a marketing term, and the scientists later criticise the accuracy too.
