Being an Essential Employee at Jurassic Park Sucks
You've heard of an essential skeleton crew, now it's time for expendable skeletons. Here's a toast to the ones that Jurassic Park lost. Okay maybe Nedry getting hit in the face with a spitball was the will of Hammond. While Nedry's sabotage set off a chain of events, it was just a matter of time before disaster would strike because so many corners were cut in Jurassic Park. Apparently Muldoon is a jokester in the book but a very jaded serious hunter in the film. Ray Arnold was brave, the first scout to go to the maintenance shed as everyone hid in the bunker. I heard they were gonna film the dispatch scene for Ray but the set got destroyed by a hurricane.

Ellie Sattler was being chased by more than just raptors on this trip. Was it just me or was the age gap between Allan and Ellie disconcerting? And it goes double for the side-burn pulling Dr. Ian Malcolm. Keep the chaos theory in your pants.

Identifying Encino Man's Love Triangles

Encino Man has so many love triangles it could’ve been made into a soap opera but they chose the movie format. I always thought this movie was the cornerstone of everyone’s childhood but recent surveys reveal that’s not always the case. In the video I mention that this movie reflects the values of young people in the early 90's, and it does, however all the actors are 21 or 22 when this movie w...

Ranking Characters in Every Version of Alice in Wonderland
Переглядів 7 тис.2 місяці тому
Correction: (47:31) I mixed up the "Red Queen" and the "Queen of Hearts" in the 1985 version. These are two different characters in the "Alice in Wonderland" book and in the Natalie Gregory version of Alice. This video essay brought to you by my sanity. Down, down, down the rabbit hole I went. I originally saw the 1999 for the first time and it inspired this video essay. Much to my surprise it ...
03:04 there seems to be some sort of render glitch
You ain’t wrong brother-man. That last export goofed me real good. You think I’d catch it in one last rewatch but I watched this darn video like 15 times for errors.
I guess it's insinuated that Grant and Sadler are in a relationship, but they never show them interact in that way what-so-ever. In the novel, she's just a platonic student of his.
It's funny, in the book Wu doesn't leave the island, and he ends up getting eviscerated by raptors. And Muldoon survives because he's a bad ass. I don't remember if they bring back extinct plants in the novel or not, but they don't really explain how they managed to that in the movie. Also, I never noticed the piles of trash on the floor around Newman's desk lmao
Calling goulem wobbly might be the funniest thing I have heard in a long time
Bro that part at the very end was perfect
Actually, it was Pippin's idea to pass near Isengard with Treebeard. Merry even asked him wether he was mad fearing the orcs would catch them again, but chad Pippin replied they wouldn't be caught this time 😎
You ain’t wrong brother-man, you ain’t wrong.
Two words: Invasive Species
He still has better OSHA ratings than most of the theme parks I've built in video games, tbf
It's already a movie about ancient monsters brought back to life. Why not make all the male characters that too.
Damn this video doesn't deserve the ratio. I thought it was funny.
The UA-cam algorithm has served me to Andrew Tates community apparently.
Well, you know, it was the 90s. People believed love is love, not love is a creepy power dynamic created to cause women suffering. What matters is now that we have full relationship policing and we are all happy...oh, wait.... Yeah, no, everything sucks.
It’s so hard being you 😢
@@BrentonsTV I wasn't talking about me. I had my fun before the misery Puritan generation took over. Thank goodness. Enjoy your self-righteous depression. You'll wake up at forty and realize you missed being alive.
Laura Dern easily looks 30 in this movie.
And Sam Neil looks 50
Did you just make this video in order to argue with people? Looking at the comment section is crazy because you just seem to want to be rude to people who hold a differing opinion. Even to those who disagreed with you respectfully.
✨yes✨
@@BrentonsTV ok, why is that your motivation?
It’s legal to flirt. Keep it that way.
“Where’s my hug?”
@@BrentonsTV asking the right questions.
Isn't she supposed to be his student? Surely that's an even bigger issue than the age gap.
no. she is not. She is a doctor. There is not a single part of the movie that hints that she is his student. The general structure of the movie is that they are equals. Watch the film how they interact and how she and he interact with the plot independently and they are both extremely opinionated and knowledgeable.
Damn man. White night harder.

I don't know if this video is good or bad (I'm not going to watch it), but I do like Jodie Foster's quote on Conan about Jeff Goldblum, "He's a walking lawsuit."
I don’t know if this comment is good or bad (I’m not going to read it)
Get off old guys.
Get off on old guys? 😱
I thought she was in her 30s and the 2 of them were an item who met working together. Also I don't think physical contact automatically means harassment.
this is Gen Y and Gen Z we are talking about which means any kind of heterosexual behavior is "problematic" why do you think they named those generations "Y" and "Z"
Yea pulling on sideburns is a normal part of heterosexual courting. Listen to the guy named chicken nugget. He seems well adjusted to society.
I think in the book the implication is they're closer in age. They both have doctorates and are working in the field, so there's no difference in life experience. I think by the time a person has a doctorate, we can presume that they can take care of themselves when it comes to flirting (which is not the case when it comes to a T-Rex or Dilophosaurus or Veliciraptor -- poor Mssrs Gennaro, Nedry, Arnold, and Muldoon).
That’s a poor choice of words as those little genius children probably get doctorates before they’re 18. But also everyone knows a doctorate means you can’t be manipulated by someone twice your age. Right? He knew what he was doing when he cast a 23 year old, he meant her to look 23. Not “determine her age by how much time you think getting a doctorate takes.” Anyways, just accept we are inside Spielbergs wet dream.
I disagree that the audience is meant to think that Dr. Sadler is young. She is repeatedly referred to throughout the film as "Dr Sadler"; she has no problem chiding or correcting Dr Grant; she's absolutely fierce when she first encounters Hammond in the trailer at the dig site. Nothing indicates that the casting was anything other than the actress's schedule worked and Spielberg thought she could pull off the part (which she did). Put another way, the older actresses may have had conflicting schedule and brought an existing repertoire that would have audiences have a more difficult time accepting (for example) that a Dr Sadler played by Susan Sarandon (47 in 1993) as something other than Louise Sawyer from Thelma and Louise (1991) or separating Sigourney Weaver (44 in 1993) from her role in Aliens. If there's another actress you'd propose who would have met your age criteria in 1993, feel free to propose her, but I think the casting was well done and spot on.
@@BrentonsTV in fact, my 7th grade science teacher said at the time that she really liked the movie, especially because they didn't have any attempt at a love story in it.
She was 23? When I first saw the movie I thought she was in her mid thirties 😂
Spielberg is a perv. In the book Dr. Grant and Her were a couple, and she was pressuring him for commitment and a family. It made sense in the book, and was well written, but Spielberg is a perv, and directed it from that place. Remember he literally pushed a movie through greenlight and cast a woman because he wanted in her pants. This is Spielberg.
This is ridiculous.
Hmm i get hit on alot by younger women 20s and such this was a common social paradigm for people in research and education. Probably due to power dynamics within the field at that time. So its fairly repesentive.
Confirmation bias. Out of thousands the mentally ill ones happen to flirt with you. Hollywood would have you believe over half the relationships have age gaps over 10 yrs. They don’t. And if the genders were switched and I was a young man surrounded by women twice my age trying to get a whiff, I’d run straight to the dinosaur jaws. But way to be professional at your job. 🤡
@@BrentonsTV If the genders were witch and you really found the idea of older women being attracted to you *that* terrible, I think that's a you problem my guy. Also, Ellie has a PhD in the movie instead of just being Dr. Grant's grad student like in the book, and it seems pretty unlikely (although not impossible) that a 23 year old would be a well published PhD researcher the way Ellie is, so I think Laura Dern was just playing a character older than her actual age.
Have you been hit on by women twice your age while in your young 20s? I’m gonna guess no by what you wrote. Also 17 yr olds have earned PHDs, so that means nothing. Maybe if you use more book facts your position will become more defensible. Also tell Laura Dern that she was playing someone older than her age because she seems to disagree.
@@BrentonsTV 1. Yes I have, it's no big deal. 2. a tiny number of 17 year olds getting PhDs also means nothing. Let me put it this way: "Out of thousands the extremely gifted ones happen to get doctorates at 17. Hollywood would have you believe over half of PhD recipiants are 17 year old wiz-kids. They aren't." 3. Laura Dern is an actress, not the writer or the director. So what she imagined for her character is pretty much irrelevant.
1. I’m sure you have and didn’t make that up for the sake of the argument 2. That’s a cute way to try and wiggle out of when you insinuated having that degree makes someone impervious to manipulation. “We’ll not all PHD holder are underage therefore it’s impossible she was 23 even though they cast a 23 year old.” 3. Spielberg was a perv and those tropes are tired and unrealistic. Also since Laura Dern and Sam Neil have the same viewpoint as me I’d figure I’d give you someone else to further discuss over the internet with. 😘 They’re on Twitter.
oh.... bla bla bla
Yeah but look at the lines on her face, she looks in her 30's even then.
“I can’t figure out why I’m single.” - you
You know there is something kind of ironic about the fact that you are ranking the Alice in wonderland characters but you forgot 1 very very very important character who was it oh yeah ALICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Out of all of the characters you forgot to rank Alice I find that pretty funny
As a boomer, it would only have crossed my mind in more extreme situations than Jurassic Park. Now I won't be able to unsee it.
SMH!!! Snowflakes
Is this Alex Jones?
Speaking from the perspective of the character, I doubt I'd have an issue with Jeff Goldblum awkwardly flirting with me back in the day. Hell, even now. With chops like those, he was asking to light my grill. I would have been the one "Umm"ing and "Ahh"ing.
I can dig it.
Ummm...Jeff Goldblum & Laura Dern started dating while filming Jurassic Park
Did he start with the side burn pulling IRL too?
You would rather get eaten by a lizard while on the toilet than have an age gap in your relationship or have Jeff Goldbloom flirt? Way to completely exaggerate
You found the joke! 👍
@BrentonsTV monotone sarcasm with no real set up or punchline in a video where your viewpoint is the same as the sarcasm (thus undermining the sarcasm). Comedy brilliance
Indubitably 🧐 First it was the exaggeration, now it’s the sarcasm 🤡
@BrentonsTV because I wouldn't have called it sarcasm, it was just a ridiculous statement . . .until u called it a "joke"
I don't see a big deal with the age gap when they are adults and consenting.
Found the mid life crisis.
@@BrentonsTV or I just respect people's autonomy. We don't need to limit people to only date people the exact same age as them. I believe you're taking a real issue of uneven power dynamic in relationships and going way too far with it.
I think the video is loaded to you because you’ve got baggage. Laura’s views are parallel (in her interview) to what I said. I love how you try to give yourself the high ground by mentioning autonomy like it has anything to do with the video.
@@BrentonsTV I'm talking about my disagreement with the way you see things. The philosophy of why you made the video, which is good by the way for a new channel, the audio is pretty on point, strong scripting and solid presentation. Like I said, which you didn't refute I don't think we should shun people with an age gap in their relationship this isn't a minor and an adult, what age gap do you think is acceptable in a relationship?
You’re not just challenging my perception, you’re challenging the perception of where everything is going (I’m guessing you know that which is why you’re so passionate commenting on this video). Notice people didn’t applaud Leo DiCaprio for his latest trade in. If you wanted a number from me I’d say things get weird over 10 years. Especially during the first half of life. Not that it’s impossible to be happy, but it’s certainly open for questions (or jokes) over 15 years. The crux of my video was to poke fun at how normal it was for such an age gap in storytelling (only in Hollywood btw, not in real life). Today we are a lot more thoughtful of where someone’s brain is developmentally and it’s much quicker to be evident as a plot-hole. It wasn’t on anyone’s radar in 1993 so it stands out more today. Also there’s a phenomenon where kids can’t tell the difference between the ages of adults and it was almost as if Jurassic park took full advantage of that and let the man fantasy rip.
Couldn't have a 90's movie without the badly-handled love interest with suspiciously little agency!
That's poetic.
how exactly does she have any less agency than any of the "guests" who go to Jurassic park? Did you not watch the movie? She strait up chews out Dr. Hammond, and goes out to the electricity shed even though he was insisting on going due to being a "man" and her a "woman" to which she responds "we can discuss sexism in survival situations later"
This has got to be the biggest whiner. You need some nuggets?
@@BrentonsTV you are not worth talking too. Your entire argument method is a series of logical fallacies. I wasted too much time here. Goodbye.
The breakfast making machines remind me of the one in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That involved a single father who was an inventor but was from back in the 60s. The machine even managed to hard boil an egg accidentally
This is very good. 10/10
Honey I _ the _ should have been a whole cinematic universe.
They did three movies, so it’s at least as deep as the original Star Wars.
The most useless was Frodo.
I'd love to be a 90s movie dad, I can put my breakfast machine on gofundme.
Hobbit Basketball Association, hahaha!
haven't been this mad in a while, good job
Not Merry!? Of course its not Merry! He helped kill the Witch King!
TY for the correction! was about to call u out!
It's obviously Gimli. He's a joke. He never had a single good idea and every time he opens his mouth someone is rolling their eyes and praying for patience. He's the worst kind of idiot and a millstone around the necks of Aragorn and Legolas, just someone they have to carry in order to do the actual important work of the Fellowship. He's also the reason Gandalf got killed. Horrible character, Tolkien should have never written him in.
Read the books before blaming boromir
I take it this is an opinion based solely on the films. If not, read the books again.
Yes to the former. That means I can hold off reading the books again. Yatta!
I'm forever haunted by how greasy denethor is when he pours that oil all over himself. Like I get it, the man's gonna be oily, but something about how clear it is just makes him look like a big ol' greasy guy and that fucked with me a little as a kid, yknow?
Grouchy oiled up grandpa-pa squinting disapprovingly from atop the wooden heap.
What about when he takes a bite of that poor tomato?
@@aggebiffen yeah that's a good point, that also inflicted deep psychic damage on me. I have bad texture issues with tomatoes anyway and that scene was very difficult to watch
Boromir had more impact in one film than Legolas did in three.
❌ Dispatch 350 orcs ✔️ Steal, get clapped by 1 orc
@@BrentonsTV Legolas has virtually 0 memorable lines, no character development like Gimli and Boromir, no major impact, and no emotional scenes. Boromir’s relationship with his brother and father is vital. You could replace Legolas with any other elf archer. Legolas only matters in combat scenes in all 10+ hours of film. Even if you include the Hobbit films, he barely surpasses Gimli as the worst fellowship member.
I can see your point from a movie goers perspective. "Worst" can be interpreted in many ways and in this video I was thinking "If we were members of the Fellowship, who's the most useless and doesn't get us closer to our goal?" We could go even more literal than you and say "whoever had the least merchandizing opportunity is the worst because the shareholders got paid less." Surely the elf sold more toys and videogames.
@@joelk3187 “Legolas has virtually 0 memorable lines, no character development” You’re joking, right? “They’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard!” “And You Have My Bow” “This Forest is Old. Very Old. Full of Memories...and Anger.” “You Would Die Before Your Stroke Fell.” “This is No Mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, Son of Arathorn. You Owe Him Your Allegiance.” “Shall I Describe it to You? Or Would You Like Me to Find You a Box?” “Your Friends are With You, Aragorn.” “We Must Move on. We Cannot Linger.” “They Have Feelings, my Friend. The Elves Began it, Waking up the Trees, Teaching Them to Speak.” “I’m on Seventeen!” “What About Side by Side With a Friend?” (This quote right here is also a HUGE DEMONSTRATION of Legolas’s character development, for he moved on from “do not think I won’t kill you Dwarf. It would be my pleasure” to actually admitting that he thinks of Gimli, a Dwarf, as a friend).
@@literatureandfilmaremyjam4592 I didn’t say Legolas has no character development. I said Legolas has no character development LIKE Boromir or Gimli, meaning, none of his development is as impactful as Boromir’s or Gimli’s. “...to Isengard” - how is this memorable? It was a meme, that’s it. “...my bow” - this is only memorable because Aragorn and Gimli ALSO say it, and it’s at the most important moment of the film thus far. “This forest..” - this is not memorable as a Legolas line. It adds very little to him or the story. Perhaps it conveys that Legolas has been around a long time. So what? We already know that. Legolas was the best person to say that line. That doesn’t mean that was the best line for Legolas to say. “...stroke fell” - yes, this is one of a few good Legolas’ lines. “...your allegiance” - once again, a line that is best suited to Legolas, but they doesn’t mean it’s a memorable line for Legolas. “...a box?” - this is a good line. One of the few times Legolas’ development is portrayed. “...friends are with you” - I’ve never seen this quoted in all the time I’ve been interested in LOTR. “We cannot linger” - how is this memorable? “...teaching them to speak” - this is a good line that is interesting. “I’m on seventeen!” - this is humorous and slightly memorable, but compare it with Gimli’s “That still only counts as one!” “...with a friend” - this is another good scenario, but the impact of this scene comes from Gimli. He is the one that this scene is testing. We are seeing if GIMLI has changed. We know Legolas has changed because from the start he isn’t even that prejudiced towards Gimli. To be honest he isn’t even in the Hobbit book so the line “don’t think I won’t kill you, dwarf” really doesn’t fit. Legolas never despises dwarves. His father had a problem with them, but we know from the beginning that Legolas is peaceful. He’s an elf. It’s Gimli’s stubbornness that drives the development between the two. Legolas is a great character. He’s better in the books. But he is the weakest member of the fellowship in the LOTR films. Gimli and Boromir both have a bigger impact on me than Legolas does, as well as many non-fellowship members: Théodon, Gollum, Eowyn, Elrond, Arwen, etc. To be honest I might even put Faramir, Saruman, Galadriel, and Bilbo above Legolas.
This video: *boromir is bad because he didn't have enough screen time to prove himself.*
“We ignore the stealing”
@@BrentonsTVpretending as if anyone else wouldn't have tried either. Boromir was a good man with good principles even if aragorn was in his situation he would have the same end. He died protecting the hobbits and his first reaction as he's dying is they took the little ones
Aragorn wasn’t sweating when he’s looking at Galadriel.
The best member is clearly Wormtongue
