"Nothing personal kid, I just hate kids."
*teleports behind u*
Nani !
"Who the fuck brought this little shit? Isn't this a professional dig? What, does the bad lands have packs of homeless proto-Cartmans just patrolling the dust?!?"
I think he's just backup for the triangle-standers there to support Grant and Sattler, but you can see all 6 of them standing in perfect form, so the poor kid probably just got bored waiting for one of them to go to the bathroom. He was supposed to have tarp ready in case of a random windstorm or helicopter, but that almost never happens so instead he was just daydreaming about giant chickens.
One or both parents are working the dog, and summer vacation comes up?
The leap from this to training them like dogs in the sequel ...
At least dogs are animals. The rest of the dinos are treated like movie monsters.
He is every boomer wish fulfilled.
Wanting to hangout with a hot blonde digging for dinosaur bones all day? Guess that makes me a boomer
Sign me up for an AARP card and charge my hover-round.
Can remove either blonde or dinosaurs from the equation and it's still a win.
Agreed
At the beginning of the film he totally is.
Keeps incredibly rare fossil in pocket for the singular purpose of threatening children
Throws away incredibly rare fossil because it's the natural diamond version of lab grown toenails from a rude GMO frog
Perhaps it was a plaster cast replica of the real fossil itself.
Most likely. Some fossils are, although very hard, rather brittle as well.
although hard
Hardness implies brittleness. Knives aren't so hard that they never need sharpening because if they were, they would shatter when dropped
The claw is actually such a powerful visual metaphor. At the beginning of the film he's defensive and hostile to children. He's an old grumpy man. A dinosaur if you will, but through the events of the film he becomes something altogether different. He evolves, and because of those changes he doesn't need his defenses anymore. Him not being married to Dr. Sadler in the 3rd movie is such a slap in the face of his arc in Jurassic Park.
The kid’s right though. The raptor is about the size of a turkey and Dr Alan Grant is a fraud trying to cover a kiwi accent.
"Red-blooded American"
Color blind?
The dino the book and film were based on was utahraptor, they called it velociraptor because it's a better name
Still probably fuck that kid up
Or end up on the run from the cops with him
"And even the word "raptor" means... "Bird of prey""
The line delivery of so much of this film is stuck in my head.
