I also want to look it up, but I think I'll only freak myself out. I'll stick with Night Vale, methinks.<br />I totally get knowing about something and then getting frustrated when you watch/read something that features it (Jurassic World, in this case) and picking out all the faults with much annoyance. Generally that stops me from enjoying it nearly as much as I otherwise might, I'm just too frustrated and can't look past the things that weren't done accurately, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy JW for it's lightness and as a fun film.<br />I'm all for awesome females. Furiosa sounds fantastic. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-75635440077158858292015-07-14T15:32:20.012-06:002015-07-14T15:32:20.012-06:00The original Mad Max movies are good, but nothing ...The original Mad Max movies are good, but nothing special so I honestly don't think watching them will give you a special appreciation for the new one. <br /><br />And yay for a mostly good reboot to the Jurassic Park series! I noticed they mentioned that comment to explain away why the Dinos did not have feathers :p ah well, I'm mostly okay with it. <br /><br />And I really wasn't sold on the murder aspect originally either. So I was surprised by how much I got into it...Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-1106537366542664562015-07-14T15:22:08.707-06:002015-07-14T15:22:08.707-06:00Thanks, Sarika :)Thanks, Sarika :)Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-47668520473110765662015-07-13T22:34:23.651-06:002015-07-13T22:34:23.651-06:00I have to admit that I liked Mad Max, but I wasn&#...I have to admit that I liked Mad Max, but I wasn't really super duper in love with it like everyone else seems to be. I did really like Furiosa though!! She was AMAZING! I hadn't seen the original films before watching it though, so that could of been why I was a little underwhelmed. My mom and I did watch the first one...and it was pretty disappointing, and we started the second one, but we did it late at night and we both fell asleep. I'll have to give it another shot, and watch Thunderdome, too. I'm sure I'd appreciate it more then! The effects were really amazing though!! <br /><br />I did absolutely love Jurassic World though!!! I thought of you when I watched it. :) If only those dinosaurs had feathers. :P I did appreciate that the one scientist creating the dinosaurs mentioned they changed their DNA so they suited what people expected...it made me think that they chose to make them look like the dinosaurs we're familiar with in popular culture, which was kind of neat! :D Plus...Chris Pratt was awesome, and I loved the raptors in this one. They were so fascinating...and that noise they make still gives me chills from watching the early films. Now, I'm rambling...but I totally LOVED it! I already want to see it again. ;D haha <br /><br />I'm not sure about SERIAL...but maybe I'll have to look into it. I'm not sure if I'd like to listen to a podcast about a murder. It might creep me out! haha<br /><br />And I loved Fangirl more than Eleanor & Park, too. I did love E&P, but Fangirl is still one of my ULTIMATE favourites!!! :D And I still have to read her adult books, too. One day. :P AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-74499528105150145992015-07-08T00:25:40.791-06:002015-07-08T00:25:40.791-06:00I am so apprehensive about watching Jurrasic Park ...I am so apprehensive about watching Jurrasic Park because, well... dinasaurs!

I kind of figured it wouldn't be at all realistic in terms of the science, but I don't know that much about dinosaurs so it's good to know that you still enjoyed it.

That's awesome you were still able to enjoy Jurassic World despite all the inaccuracies. I'm not sure I would be able to in your position. And I totally agree - Serial was addictive.

The bf is a HUGE fan of the old ones so he insisted haha. I'm glad I saw them because they're clearly classics and it gives a great context for Fury Road but you are totally right that the new one took things to a WHOLE OTHER level! Even the bf agreed. Seriously it was one of THE BEST movies we've both seen in a LONG time. ♥ We might see Jurassic World soon too. Sadly though, I think our book soul mate streak might have a loss in it's corner now with E&P :( I don't hate it but I'm just not feeling it either. I know that the narration on audio is partly responsible but some other stuff is bugging me too. I won't say more until I finish it up but I'm still a bit bummed out. But YAY Mad Max XDMichelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.com
