Jurassic Park 3 is out on DVD to rent now?
I didn't even see that one at the cinemas for weeks on end.

Is it me? Did this thing just bypass cinemas and appear on Blockbuster shelves?
It has William H Macy in, so it might be good.
But it has more big lizards stalking them.
So it might be bad.

Are there yet more annoying yankee kids that you just know won't get eaten, no matter how much you want them to?
I mean, the 1st movie...that little punk boy even got electrocuted on the fence and he *still* made it through to the end.

Is this any good? (as good as a movie about big dinosaurs can be)

70s American rock hairstyles with beards and moustaches.

And the box-set of this movie is goddamn fantastic.
You get the rehearsal footage of the guys in the band, audition tapes, a CD of Stillwater songs and a load of other stuff.

I loved the scene where the plane gets into trouble.
Won't spoil it for everyone.

Yep. He's on tele whilst Sam Neil goes around to his ex-bítches house to talk to her.

It did indeed rock. Am toying with the 'moustache and little diamond of beard under the mouth' look that Russell was sporting...

'I am a Golden God!'

Heh heh...

Yep, he is.

*****SPOILER ALERT*****






What happens is when Sam Neil is on the verge of death, he phones is friend at home, but her baby son picks up the phone and hangs up, to back to watching Barney. The baby also has a Barney toy.

I thought Almost Famous was a brilliant film.
Love that musical era and it was pure enjoyment for 2hrs.

And Jason Lee is in it, being told off by Frances McDormand.
"Your mum weirds me out"
"Me too"

Is it true that Barney is in JP3?

Hmm... toyed with the idea of renting JP3 yesterday, but chose Almost Famous instead.

A completely different film, not a dinosaur in sight... actually, Black Sabbath were in it at one point....

Kept the missus happy anyway..

Things I liked about Jurassic Park 1&2:
Jeff Goldblum
T-Rex
The fat guy in the 1st one that gets eaten by the spitty one.
Samuel L Jackson smoking and saying "I can't Jurassic Park back online"
Velociraptors

Things I didn't like about Jurassic Park 1 & 2:
Sam Neil. He acts like a dead man. A bad one at that.
The kids. Just die. Die die die die die. Please die
No Stegasaurus fights
Richard Attenborough
Waiting for 40 mins before the dinasaurs go mental.

So based on the above likes and dislikes, I shall rent this one first and then maybe buy it.

Battle Royale, on the other hand, now there's a top film.

I don't know if that was a pun to my name or the film, 'Citzen Kane' :P

It's got great special effects, cool dinos and the acting

Want my advice? Buy

Extras DO make a DVD, so I'll grant you that it's probably better than I thought, but the ending was mediocre at best and I thought the plot had a LOT of nonsense in. For instance, in real life, a 13 year old boy would NOT survive in a dinosaur infested jungle. Also, when the dinosaur ate the mobile phone, his stomach acids would dissolve it, so the ring wouldn't be audiable. Who was ringing them anyway? I shant say anymore, or I'll give it away.

Snuggly was giving JP3 a little plug there. I think Snuggly gets a little comission cut or something ;)

Yes, buy it from Special Reserve for only £19.99 (or however much it is) :D

Well I'm getting Battle Royale from you at lunchtime.
That is a movie with non-annoying kids in.
All given weapons to kill each other with.
Check out the kid that gets given a boxing glove for a weapon.
