They have "real" dinosaurs in the park and he is satisfied with that. <br /><br />It is Dr, Wu who wants to make changes to the animals. He asks Hammond to allow him and his team to make the animals slower to match public perceptions and more docile to make them easier to handle.<br /><br />The only changes that Hammond ever permitted were the use of DNA from other sources to fill in gene sequence gaps, sterilizing the dinosaurs with irradiation to prevent breeding and making the animals lysine deficient to prevent them causing havoc should they get off the island.<br /><br />Although all three ultimately went wrong, the changes were a matter of getting the job done right, not of aesthetic pleasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-62399862805392007352014-09-20T02:19:05.258+01:002014-09-20T02:19:05.258+01:00Looks like the fat old female dinosaur 'Scam-o...Looks like the fat old female dinosaur 'Scam-o-saurus Windsorii' cast its large shadow over the referendum in Scotland yesterday, what a pity.

I kind of hate the director for not including feathered dinosaurs. In 2014, there is no excuse for portraying a featherless raptor in ANY context! We may as well have tail-dragging tyrannosaurs and swamp-dwelling sauropods. I also hate the people who wine about how the discoveries of feathered dinosaurs 'ruined' their childhood. Why are we to be disappointed at nature for being richer than the confines of our feeble imaginations? <br /><br />Supposedly, there will be one shot at the beginning in which people are bored and accustomed to the sight of the dinosaurs, photographing them with their iphones. This is supposed to mirror the audience's jaded attitude, the director said, so he's going to invent some new creatures made through genetic splicing or something like that. I can't help but find this a bit insulting. If dinosaurs are boring to you, then you aren't the right person to make a movie about them. Just remember Grant and Sattler's reaction in the first film upon seeing Brachiosaurs for the first time--they're moved to tears. Their first emotion is joy. <br /><br />As for me, the dinosaurs are precisely the reason to watch any of the JP movies in the first place. The jaded audience is already accustomed to CGI monsters of all kinds, but I dunno, the fact that dinosaurs are real sort of makes them special to me. They're a glimpse of another world more spectacular, yet one that we can ever fully comprehend. As such, it reminds us that our existence is part of something so much larger. It's almost like a religious revelation. At least James Gurney understands that there must be dinosaurs in Heaven, if you accept Dinotopia as the appropriate metaphor. D. E.
