Atrociraptor?



Maybe this is the JP film that will finally jump the shark completely.

 

[TonyD]

They really like having him ride a motorcycle in precarious places.

Are they telling us the animal commits atrocities? Does he wear a swastika as well?

That reminds me of when McBain was under attack by Commie-Nazis.

“Atrociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. The type specimen of Atrociraptor, holotype RTMP 95.166.1, was discovered by Wayne Marshall in 1995, in layers of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation also containing an Albertosaurus bonebed, near Drumheller.” Wikipedia

Neil just zinged us with ten seconds of research.

I'm holding out for Ludicrousoraptor.

 

[Jeff Cooper]

Unobtanioraptor.

Inconceiviraptor

Get all you hate out guys. Flush it out. Then maybe you can go find another film you haven’t seen to hate. I know, we need separate threads titled “Movie Name Here-For the Haters” and “Movie Name Here-For Those that Want to Discuss.”

I look forward to the movie and only joined in because the name Atrociraptor is extremely silly. To the point that I can't believe it's real. Unless Neil is a genius and he made up that Wikipedia quote knowing that I'd be too lazy to check it.

 

[Joe Wong]

For me, the 2 Jurassic World films so far have been relatively mediocre, but I am looking forward to Dominion to see how they bring back Neill, Dern and Goldblum to finish the trilogy.

For those wondering about "funny" sounding dinosaur names, Atrociraptor does have a Wikipedia entry (as Neil M referenced). If you think that's an odd name, how about this:

Bambiraptor - Wikipedia

Yeah, I didn't realize making up silly dinosaur names (much like actual scientists, apparently) was "hating" on the film.

Someone needs a candy cane.

I was commenting on the repeated negative comments about a film that no one has seen. It gets a little old sometimes.

 

[Mikael Soderholm]

Let’s just hope it turns out to be better than the god awful “Fallen Kingdom” though it’s not much of a high bar

Actually, I liked the second one more, less whining kids and women, more and better action.

Unobtanioraptor.

Yeah, that's what killed Avatar for me, so stupid, or maybe a cultural thing I just don't get.

Anyway, looking forward to this, bringing back all the old-timers makes it a bit meta, but still, a dinosaur movie is a dinosaur movie.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Unobtanium?

That’s an actual term scientists and engineers use. They use it when there’s a material that would work perfectly for whatever project they’re on but that material is either unavailable or doesn’t exist - hence the shared root from “unobtainable”.

Yeah, even when a term is not made up, some will still dislike it. Can’t please everyone.

Yeah, I know that, and since they were mining it, it wasn't actually 'unobtainable', was it?
It was available, it did exist, and they were mining it, so how was it 'unobtainable'?

It sounded like a placeholder term in the script until they though of a good name for it, and then they forgot.
Stupid, and made it (the movie) childish. Not so sure scientists and engineers use it, other than jokingly, like 'automagically', but please prove me wrong.

Obvioulsy cultural, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtainium
'In fiction, engineering, and thought experiments, unobtainium is any hypothetical, fictional, or impossible material'
in the US ... not necessarily in the rest of the world.
So it bugs me, and not you, and that is ok.

Sweet! I keep forgetting another one is coming, and now it’s only 5 months away! W00T! I’m gonna have to rewatch the other two “World” movies soon.
