Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)- 48% RTAS for a reason. Outstanding CGI can’t save empty action, contrived dino events such as T-Rex eating another threatening dino at just the right moment and generally a crappy milking it, money grab, let’s see how much we can piss off JP Fans story. The volcano eruption shots were pretty good, the big dino left behind scene was a real tear jerker, but the rest...poo.
My vote: Thumbs down. 😵

I’m really fearful where Jurassic World: Dominion (2021) is going to try to take us. You know dinos take over the world with the help of humans of course. 😬

Legends of the Fall(1994)
Underrated IMHO. I think this might have been the first Pitt and Hopkins movie I ever watched. A little too much drama, but the great performances all around compensates. Great cinematography and an endearing score/soundtrack.

I’d love to wake up everyday to some of the scenery in this film.

Yes, yes, yes! This is one of my favorite movies, and also has Aiden Quinn and Julia Ormond. I have a James Horner soundtrack playlist with many tracks from Legends. But most of all, the reason I love it is because Jim Harrison, who wrote the novella, is a very favorite author for whom I have all of his books (and not coincidentally, also all of Thomas McGuane's, his friend).

He's had other movies adapted from his books, and has written the screenplays for some of them, with varying results. IMO another one that was well done is Revenge with Kevin Costner, Anthony Quinn, Madeleine Stowe, and Miguel Ferrer.

I once spent a couple weeks in Montana after reading a lot of Harrison and McGuane, although later learned that Legends was filmed in British Columbia and Alberta. I learned of Harrison's death at age 78 in March 2016 on the radio while driving and had to pull over to recover. He'd been at his writing desk when he died.

Here's a bit from Wikipedia about the writing of Legends of the Fall:

"Harrison said he became a novelist after he fell off a cliff while bird hunting. During his convalescence, his friend Thomas McGuane suggested he write a novel, and Wolf: A False Memoir (1971) was the result. It is the story of a man who tells his life story while searching for signs of a wolf in the northern Michigan wilderness. This was followed by A Good Day to Die(1973), an ecotage novel and statement about the decline of American ecological systems, and Farmer (1976), a Lolita-like account of a country school teacher and farmer coming to grips with middle age, his mother’s dying, and complications of human sexuality.

"Harrison’s first novellas were published in 1979 under the title Legends of the Fall. Actor Jack Nicholson, a close friend of Harrison's whom he had met through Thomas McGuane, played a peripheral role in the creation of that book. When Nicholson heard that Harrison was broke, he sent $30,000, which allowed Harrison to write Legends of the Fall.[14] The title novella is an epic story that spans 50 years and tells the tale of a father and three sons in the vast spaces of the northern Rocky Mountains around the time of World War I. Referring to the title novella, Harrison said:
"I wrote Legends of the Fall in nine days and when I re-read it, I only had to change one word. There was no revision process. None. I had thought so much about the character that writing the book was like taking diction. I felt overwhelmed when I finished, I needed to take a vacation, but the book was done."[15]"

I saw this once, in the theatre when it came out. I bought it as a two-for with the original a while back. Basically I don’t remember it at all now.

Hahaha, nice ...

"Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some ****, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it."
