Why the "Jurassic Park" model wouldn't work - Page 3 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

What is your evidence that they did exist? No human has ever seen them, and all of the so called fossils you see in the musuem are moulded to replicate what these dino creations are meant to look like. Every other week they roll out a new found dinosaur.

For five years it held the record as the highest-grossing film of all time, and the special effects were revolutionary at the time. So yes, it was never anything special.

Jurassic Park is definitely no masterpiece, but it's a fun movie with a cool concept and very decent CGI for the time. It's no Jaws, that's for sure.

Very decent CGI for the time?

It basically set the standard for future CGI.

Couldn't disagree more, this guy is hilarious and the derail has epic potential imo.

What sort of person is a dinosaur conspiracy theorist? Can't make this **** up... amazing as a troll or not

Also this thread needs more posts about Jeff Goldblum imo

Things ShaneG does not believe are real:
- the people who died in 9/11
- the footage of the planes hitting the towers
- the moon landing
- dinosaurs
- the holocaust
- the people who died at Sandy Hook
- the people who died/were injured in the Boston bombing
- satellites
- evolution

Things ShaneG does believe are real:
- health benefits of wheat grass

Feel free to add to the list.

To be fair on Shane how do you prove something doesn't exist. It's like saying prove there is no good, or prove poker isn't rigged.

You can ask him, but he'll probably just say you're dumb.

I'd really like to have someone with a telescope show him a satellite and to see how he'd try to explain that away.

This one strikes me as particularly weird.

(that said, Shane is an obvious troll and has been for a long time)

The funniest thing about the satellites one is you can actually look into the sky and see them with the naked eye. It's not like it's some mystical thing that only a select few people have witnessed.

Dinosaur bones are props made by Big Dino to sell children's toys, duh.

But science is pretty solid. For example, if you took dinosaur DNA and interspersed it with frog DNA, the result would be something that looks and acts like a dinosaur in every way, but can change sex. I also like how the scientists, fiddling with DNA from animals which lived hundreds of millions of years ago, knew exactly which genes (and how) to magically replace to make them infertile but otherwise perfect clones.

Ooooooooooh, now u done and got me mad

The people taking ShaneG's obvious trolling seriously are the gullible ones.

"You doubters just need to believe!" [that he actually thinks what he says here]

I have no idea why any of you would think I was trolling, after all, i'm the one providing the facts and naming names.

Bones in museums are moulded replicas, this is a fact. Jack Horner was the brains behind the propagandized flick Jurassic Park, yet another fact. You can mock all you want and say idiot this, troll that, but it only shows the limited capacity of your intellect.

But there are also actual dinosaur bones that those models are based out of/incorporated into. I'm not exactly sure what you think you're proving by pointing this out but the fact this makes sense in your brain makes me kind of sad for you.
