@@NoriMori1992Do you think Steven Spielberg should edit Jurassic Park and digitally change the scientists uniforms in this scene to white and grey like Arnold and Nedrys uniforms are, because that would look way better than them having pink uniforms.

I love how Muldoon commands so much respect that he, despite not having any sort of technical experience or seniority to Nedry, is able to immediately shut him up.
Because when the system goes down, he's the guy in charge. His job is security, and making sure the animals do not kill anyone. He was paid what he was because of his expertise

As one of the programmers who assisted in the building and maintenance of the entire Park’s network, he would’ve been paid a very good amount of money. But we can clearly see in the very little screen time we have with him that he’s extremely careless with money which landed him in a financial hole, and he clearly resents Hammond for being a billionaire and blames him for the situation he’s in rather than dealing with it himself.

It also wasn't programmed to ever check for numbers higher than the expected ceiling, which is why Hammond didn't know that the dinosaurs were breeding. The film is great, but it left out a lot of the neat little details that demonstrated just how incompetent (and deliberately so) Hammond was.
@@drygnfyre The movie is great because of its visual effects and cinematography. The book is great because of it's layered and detailed storytelling. Imagine if they actually managed to combine those...

Probably was a closet degenerate gambler or something, so he was maybe always broke and blamed his employer for lack of pay when in fact he was paid probably fine and was just complaining like a baby.
In the book, Nedrey’s company was going bankrupt because Jurassic Park/InGen kept adding and changing requirements for the system at the last minute and wouldn’t pay for the massive amount of overtime his team on the mainland had been working for months. InGen was even threatening to blackmail his company if they didn’t deliver on time. Not saying he wasn’t a jerk, or that the sabotage was justified, but he had a point about the money.
With other characters, hammond is on “their level” as in, he is eye to eye with them, The scientists, geneticists and even most of his tech staff. But with Nedry, look how he is on the walkway, standing higher and looking down in him. Clearly shows he does not respect Nedry, and is another reason why Nedry is argumentative. He is the only one Hammond is not “on his level”.

Primal instinct is the part of you that worries your airplane is going to blow up every time it hits a bit of turbulence. Book smarts allow you to know that flight is the safest form of travel. Society advances when the Hunter takes his own advice.
Muldoon FTW Still pisses me off that ONLY the final draft of the script killed him off, despite setting him up as a smart cautious character. I know they wanted one more death in terms of pacing but come on.
When I was a kid I thought Nedry was just lazy. Participating in the work force, I realize he’s only pointing out simple truths. High skill merits high pay. When the employer wants high skill but refuses to pay more, expect attitude and disrespect from your employees.
@@noneyabusiness2237 Have you read the novel? From what I understand Nedry bid low for the job based on the description but ended up having to do a ton more work than initially contracted. He had a legitimate gripe. Hammond was really a villain.
I don't know how much salary Nedry got from working there, clearly it's not enough for his needs. But still, Hammond is a billionaire, he put his entire safety of the park in Nedry's hand, but underpay him? That's a recipe for disaster.
0:39 Hammond's line always led to me to believe that Nedry had huge debts (gambling?) to someone. Or perhaps he was about to default on his student loans.
Both the book and film are vague. It could just be simple greed, or he does have some major financial burden. The book makes it clearer that Nedry was effectively working without overtime pay or full knowledge of what the park really was, so he had more of a personal vendetta against Hammond. The film is more general and so it's likely just greed on his part.
my guess is that the door malfunction in the very first scene was blamed on Dennis, even though we know the raptors were smart enough to charge the doors when they opened. I think Hammond used it as an excuse to penalize Nedry, that's my guess. "I do ask that they pay for them"
@@alfsleftnut9224 Yes, the book does a better job of illustrating that the park was already failing before Nedry. The film makes it seem more like everything only went wrong when Nedry pulled his heist. Nedry is more fleshed out in the book and you understand his motives a bit better. In the film, it's just greed. In the book, it's greed coupled with revenge on Hammond.
I've always wondered what beef Dennis had with John (MOVIE WISE). It almost looked like Dennis was aggressively asking for a raise or a bonus. And the reason he talked so tough to his own boss, was because they needed his computing skills. But it seems to imply Dennis has some sort of gambling or financial issues going on.. Which seems to be different from the book, since Dennis wanted more after he found out what his job was and this park.
@@mothflame99 if I recall he only realized his bid was low after he found out what the park was. I think he thought he'd be programming something for a standard theme park, but after finding out they had a dino zoo, he wanted a raise for it. Hammond was also hiding the true nature of this park from Dennis, and Dennis didn't realize what they had until the dinosaurs were bred. That's when he wanted more. Hammond, for a spare no expense, probably should've gave it to him. But the book Hammond was a bit more shrewd and business man like.
"they're approaching the tyrannosaurus paddoc" "geez, this guy... system is running on full power and everything is green.. if he didn't look like he could bite my head off I might say something... guess I better shut up"

Is it possible they could digitally change the colors of the control room workers outfits to white and gray like Arnold and Nedrys uniforms are cuz I think only the Jurassic park workers that work outside should wear red. The ones inside should wear white or gray.
Hammond wasn’t paying him enough that’s why he’s in debt, either that or he wasn’t even tryna work hard, so if he wasn’t working hard enough then why screw Hammond and the rest of his colleagues, friends, and family over🤦♂️
I think the part everyone misses in this scene (because it's such a minor line) is that Nedry BID for this position; meaning his pay from InGen is 100% his own fault. While Hammond implies that Nedry's financial woes are his own doing (maybe gambling or something else), Hammond is in no way obligated to pay him more just because he bid low for this job.
And this is where I wish that the film kept true to the novel. In the movie, it makes it look like it's totally Nedry's fault for his situation. In the novel, Hammond nearly ruined Nedry's career.
@@BuddSidewinder The book did a much better job at demonstrating the park was basically doomed from the beginning, and no one single force was responsible. The film is great, but it seems to imply that if it wasn't for Nedry, things would have worked out. There were so many great subplots and info that wasn't in the film, the book even makes Nedry's motivations more clear: he's still greedy, but he also being hugely screwed over by Hammond.
@@drygnfyre I totally agree. I appreciated how the novel had these layers of depth with both characters and the plot. You’re right: the park was doomed from the start. Hammond was cutthroat and Nedry’s motives were more clearer. Nedry was wrong for what he did, but his anger at Hammond was valid.
Jurassic Park the game should have been the second movie. The second movie we did get was only an excuse to show off high tech camping gear, awesome SUVs and Air soft guns.
"I don't blame people for their mistakes but I do expect them to pay for them." Nerdy is living off the mainland in a high cost environment, doing a contract job that has a ever expanding scope in a secretive environment. Worse yet Nedry has sold his soul to the company store (vending machine), and likely Hammond has blamed Nedry for one failing or another and made him financially pay for it. For all we know Nedry might be subject to wage garnishment by Hammond. In the book it makes it clearer that Hammond black mailed Nedry into staying, threatening to ruin what reputation he had among his other employers. How much does a coke cost in the world's only dinosaur amusement park overseas. Better yet how much and how often can he visit home and how much does that cost.
In the book, Hammond was a greedy jerk who underappreciated everyone who worked with or for him. Apparently, he was a lot more selfish and did probably did underpay Nedry, making him desperate to survive, so he found it better do the wrong thing, while he could have filed a lawsuit or quit. In the movie, however, it can be inferred that Nedry was being paid more than should be by Hammond, but he was the one who was unappreciative. Hammond could have fired him at the spot, but he still kept him despite his attitude. Yet a lot of evidence suggests that he probably had more earnings than many other staff, but his lifestyle made him broke. So I'm pretty sure that even if Hammond had been more generous, Nedry would have still done what he did, or just get more and more demanding. Since book Hammond and movie Hammond are almost opposites of each other, these are just theories of fans or attempts from the writers to make the script reasonable (a guy being well paid and appreciative would certainly not sabotage his workplace).
in the first scene, when they bring the raptor cage to the door, the lights go green and you hear a lock. Well then it turns out either its not really locked or when the raptor charges the door it becomes unlocked (an error on the lock mechanism no doubt) if you pay attention to the lights on the side they go haywire after that and you hear a buzzing noise. My guess is Hammond blames the automation error for the door on Nedry and has penalized him (in the movie version). Clearly there was a huge fuck up in the first scene.
ChatGPT probably is forgetting a lot of variables but Dennis in the book was getting paid 150k in 1990’s money which is roughly around 400-450k a year today. Keep in mind though that he was the lowest bidder and Hammond lied about the scope of work he would have to perform for the park.
I work in IT, 10+ years in the industry. Here is my answer to your question: It all comes down to real world time, costs, and computer time. Basically, Denis is overwhelmed because he is one guy having to maintain systems (computers) that prevent killing dinosaurs from running away. This is why if you have a business, you don't give the master key to only 1 IT guy. An IT infrastructure for a business, or is this case a park takes time and money. The "connection machine" Nedry mentions are actually visible in this scene. The red squares behind him that keep moving. Connection Machines are basically very powerful computers able to compile either data at large capacity, or at a fast speed. Today they are known as servers and for the most part are stored off site like Amazon or Google. Giving this movie was 1994, networking a connection machine was not easy or cheap. Debugging code or looking for errors/glitches in your line of code took time even if done by a computer. Near the end of this scene when he is asked about fixing the headlight automation. Basically what he is saying is he wants to do that job at an appropriate time of the day, likely when the park is closed. The job requires "compile for half an hour". Compiling likely requires massive memory processing on the computer. Thus could cause other systems to run slow or go offline. It could make the difference of whether or not the raptor door locks stay locked. So he has a very valid point. Hopefully that explains your question.
In the book he was described as a graduate student who was contracted to write a database that could hold 1 billion entries in 1989 (the same amount of entries as a telecom at the time). There was a part in the book where Lew Dogeson asked his board of directors for the $ to bribe Nedry. When Nedry said, "We've got Dogeson here." he was recording the conversation for blackmail.
“I don’t blame people for their mistakes, but I ask that they pay for them.” ….like you creating a park full of dinosaurs without the government’s knowledge, and putting people’s lives in danger (including your grandkids) and ultimately killing a few of them? What about recklessly creating a frog/dinosaur hybrid or feeding them live animals just to entertain spectators?
I don’t condone Denise for his actions be it in the books or the movie. But in the books it explains why Denise did what he did and how Hammond was much more corrupt in the books than the movie.
I often wonder how accurate Hammond and Nedry's relationship is to the books. I often see people shit on Nedry for being greedy but if they haven't strayed too far from the source material then Nedry is a victim here. He is overworked, underpaid AND Hammond went out of his way to sabotage his relationship with his other clients so that Nedry can never leave his employment.
The "I don't blame people for my mistakes, but I ask that they pay for them" line makes me suspect that whatever the issue is, it's between Nedry and Hammond, rather than Nedry and someone else. If you use the book but shift the perspective, it could line up. Instead of Nedry's book perspective of "What did you expect - you gave me no info and are upset that the code doesn't work" can turn into Hammond's likely perspective of "We paid you a bunch, and it's full of mistakes. Why should we pay you more to fix them?"
You know now that im older i get both needry and john neddry was the butt end of the joke and was never giving proper respect and to be fair to hammond he did feel sorry for dennis but the man was trying to figure out dino dna and couldent work on wages plus needry put himself in that hole in the first place but in all serionious the sceane between them feels erirrly simliar to a boss and emplyee chat
When Dennis said thanks dad it thanks dad that wasn't just being a smart ass John Hammond is Dennis nedry's stepfather I don't think when Dennis nedry decided to do industrial espionage to engine it wasn't just because he was underpaid no I think there was more of a personal vendetta against John Hammond. He probably hated that his mom Mary John Hammond folly fell it was only because of his money and is an even though john's a nice carrying loving man he felt like John ever showed simple appreciations he did to his own kids. So Dennis nedry doing all this was more personal revenge than life like a being paid. That's why I don't feel any pity when he got eaten by the dinosaurs.
One of my favorite John Hammond quotes is "Our lives are in your hands, and you have Butterfingers?"😂
😂😂😂 same here lol 😆
Why did you capitalize butterfingers. He's not talking about the chocolate bar.

In the book, Nedrey’s company was going bankrupt because Jurassic Park/InGen kept adding and changing requirements for the system at the last minute and wouldn’t pay for the massive amount of overtime his team on the mainland had been working for months. InGen was even threatening to blackmail his company if they didn’t deliver on time.
Not saying he wasn’t a jerk, or that the sabotage was justified, but he had a point about the money.
0:13 - 0:19 😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 That's a good one. "Dennis, our lives are in your hands, and you have butter fingers?"
With other characters, hammond is on “their level” as in, he is eye to eye with them, The scientists, geneticists and even most of his tech staff.
But with Nedry, look how he is on the walkway, standing higher and looking down in him. Clearly shows he does not respect Nedry, and is another reason why Nedry is argumentative. He is the only one Hammond is not “on his level”.
Dennis . . . . our lives are in your hands and you have butterfingers??
Ha ha ha ha!!!! Im totally unappreciated in my time. You can run this whole park from this room with minimal staff for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap? You know anybody who can network eight connection machines and debug two million lines of code for what I bid for this job? Cause if you can I’d love to see them try.
@@jediindyfan98 I’m sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am, but they are your problems.
(Btw, thank you for the transcript. I’ve been struggling with part of what he said for years! 😃)
@@ghostmadlittlemiss Oh. You’re right John. You’re absolutely right. You know everything is my problem. (Also you’re welcome.)
@@jediindyfan98 I will not be drawn into another financial debate with you, Dennis, I really will not!
@@ghostmadlittlemiss Hardly any debate at all.
The nerds- arguing about compute cycles
The Hunter- Quiet! all of you!
He knew more than they did. Sometimes primal instinct beats book smarts
No.
Primal instinct is the part of you that worries your airplane is going to blow up every time it hits a bit of turbulence. Book smarts allow you to know that flight is the safest form of travel. Society advances when the Hunter takes his own advice.
Connection machines were a real thing, and debugging millions lines of code is a pain. Really awesome dialogue in this movie!
I wonder if all of that was possible for computers back in the 1990s
If you are creating the programs from scratch than yes.
Very possible but would be a lot easier with today's technology prolly why Jurassic World succeeded
do you realize humanity went to the moon with computer capacitys a pocket calculator have today?
I love it when he slurps the soda lol such an obnoxious bastard
I like how the adults in this scene look and talk like adults.
I like the way Hammond’s voice cracks when he says “butterfingers” 😂
Quiet! All of you! They're approaching the Tyrannosaur paddock.

He keeps saying "spared no expense" but seems to be cheap with Nedry.
Don't get cheap on me Dodgson! That was Hammond's mistake.
“Don’t get cheap on me, Dodgeson. That was Hammond’s mistake.”
- Dennis Nedry, earlier in the movie
“Dennis our lives are in your hands and you have butter fingers” 😂😂😂 I wouldn’t trust this dude with my life
You mean Hammond? He basically betrayed everyone. Dennis, well, chose a smarter option.
muldoon knew......he knew.....that's why they took him.
Muldoon FTW
Still pisses me off that ONLY the final draft of the script killed him off, despite setting him up as a smart cautious character. I know they wanted one more death in terms of pacing but come on.
“QUIET ALL OF YOU” i say that pretty regularly when both the neighbors two dogs bark as well as my own 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
Never noticed Nedry has exposed wires just dangling in front of his desk LMAO
Dennis the classic overworked 911 dispatcher
When I was a kid I thought Nedry was just lazy. Participating in the work force, I realize he’s only pointing out simple truths. High skill merits high pay. When the employer wants high skill but refuses to pay more, expect attitude and disrespect from your employees.
I kinda wanted Nedry to survive.
"Spared no expense." Except on labor apparently, lol!
No, a great deal of expense had been expended on Nedry, but Nedry was not satisfied. He is a glutton, greedy and self centered, like most IT people.
@@noneyabusiness2237 Have you read the novel? From what I understand Nedry bid low for the job based on the description but ended up having to do a ton more work than initially contracted. He had a legitimate gripe. Hammond was really a villain.
@@hanselcedillos1047the novel and movie are very different, hammond's character especially
"QUIET! ALL OF YOU!...The foreshadowing scene is coming up"
True mulddons face drains off blood
I don't know how much salary Nedry got from working there, clearly it's not enough for his needs. But still, Hammond is a billionaire, he put his entire safety of the park in Nedry's hand, but underpay him? That's a recipe for disaster.
Underpaid according to Nedry. Arnold wasn’t complaining.
0:39 Hammond's line always led to me to believe that Nedry had huge debts (gambling?) to someone. Or perhaps he was about to default on his student loans.
Student loans weren't an issue back in the early 90s like it is today, so that's doubtful
Probably gambling or he's just a careless spender
Both the book and film are vague. It could just be simple greed, or he does have some major financial burden. The book makes it clearer that Nedry was effectively working without overtime pay or full knowledge of what the park really was, so he had more of a personal vendetta against Hammond. The film is more general and so it's likely just greed on his part.
my guess is that the door malfunction in the very first scene was blamed on Dennis, even though we know the raptors were smart enough to charge the doors when they opened. I think Hammond used it as an excuse to penalize Nedry, that's my guess. "I do ask that they pay for them"
@@drygnfyre The book is WAY less vauge on this. In the book hammond is 100% screwing nedry out of money
@@alfsleftnut9224 Yes, the book does a better job of illustrating that the park was already failing before Nedry. The film makes it seem more like everything only went wrong when Nedry pulled his heist. Nedry is more fleshed out in the book and you understand his motives a bit better. In the film, it's just greed. In the book, it's greed coupled with revenge on Hammond.
I've always wondered what beef Dennis had with John (MOVIE WISE). It almost looked like Dennis was aggressively asking for a raise or a bonus. And the reason he talked so tough to his own boss, was because they needed his computing skills. But it seems to imply Dennis has some sort of gambling or financial issues going on..
Which seems to be different from the book, since Dennis wanted more after he found out what his job was and this park.
@@mothflame99 if I recall he only realized his bid was low after he found out what the park was. I think he thought he'd be programming something for a standard theme park, but after finding out they had a dino zoo, he wanted a raise for it. Hammond was also hiding the true nature of this park from Dennis, and Dennis didn't realize what they had until the dinosaurs were bred. That's when he wanted more. Hammond, for a spare no expense, probably should've gave it to him. But the book Hammond was a bit more shrewd and business man like.
Nedry desk setup, 3 computers with 3 monitors. Today, 3 monitors and a laptop.
Underrated Gabe Newell appearance
"they're approaching the tyrannosaurus paddoc" "geez, this guy... system is running on full power and everything is green.. if he didn't look like he could bite my head off I might say something... guess I better shut up"
*Mr. Swackhammer (from Space Jam):* (reaction of Dennis Nedry a.k.a. Stan Podolak): It smells like a SPY!
Dennis our lives are in your hands and you have Butterfingers.
they should've also had Dennis eating Butterfingers from the vending machine
😄😄😄 I'm totally unappreciated in my time. You can run this whole park in this room with minimal staff for up to three days. You think that kind of automation is easy? Or cheap?

Is it possible they could digitally change the colors of the control room workers outfits to white and gray like Arnold and Nedrys uniforms are cuz I think only the Jurassic park workers that work outside should wear red. The ones inside should wear white or gray.
One tvs were so small back then because I don't know how they saw in them but at reasons why it was cheaper
A crt screen can only be so big
Hammond wasn’t paying him enough that’s why he’s in debt, either that or he wasn’t even tryna work hard, so if he wasn’t working hard enough then why screw Hammond and the rest of his colleagues, friends, and family over🤦♂️
Because plot
@@yesshh2952True, what’s a plot without all that!
Did anyone notice that Jaws was on Dennis’ computer?
There should be a sequel where someone goes back to look for Nedry's money.
An early Samuel L Jackson honing his Pulp Fiction and Die Hard 3 energy..
I think the part everyone misses in this scene (because it's such a minor line) is that Nedry BID for this position; meaning his pay from InGen is 100% his own fault. While Hammond implies that Nedry's financial woes are his own doing (maybe gambling or something else), Hammond is in no way obligated to pay him more just because he bid low for this job.
And this is where I wish that the film kept true to the novel. In the movie, it makes it look like it's totally Nedry's fault for his situation. In the novel, Hammond nearly ruined Nedry's career.
@@BuddSidewinder Yeah, but book Hammond and movie Hammond are basically two different characters, so that would be a little odd for the movie version.
@@samus17 that’s very true. It’s probably why it being more Nedry’s fault works for the movies. I
@@BuddSidewinder The book did a much better job at demonstrating the park was basically doomed from the beginning, and no one single force was responsible. The film is great, but it seems to imply that if it wasn't for Nedry, things would have worked out. There were so many great subplots and info that wasn't in the film, the book even makes Nedry's motivations more clear: he's still greedy, but he also being hugely screwed over by Hammond.
@@drygnfyre I totally agree. I appreciated how the novel had these layers of depth with both characters and the plot. You’re right: the park was doomed from the start. Hammond was cutthroat and Nedry’s motives were more clearer. Nedry was wrong for what he did, but his anger at Hammond was valid.
John Hammond Very Angry With Dennis Nedry
Jurassic Park the game should have been the second movie. The second movie we did get was only an excuse to show off high tech camping gear, awesome SUVs and Air soft guns.
I always wondered why Nedry had financial problems. What did he do anyway? xD
It all went into the vending machine.
"I don't blame people for their mistakes but I do expect them to pay for them." Nerdy is living off the mainland in a high cost environment, doing a contract job that has a ever expanding scope in a secretive environment. Worse yet Nedry has sold his soul to the company store (vending machine), and likely Hammond has blamed Nedry for one failing or another and made him financially pay for it. For all we know Nedry might be subject to wage garnishment by Hammond. In the book it makes it clearer that Hammond black mailed Nedry into staying, threatening to ruin what reputation he had among his other employers. How much does a coke cost in the world's only dinosaur amusement park overseas. Better yet how much and how often can he visit home and how much does that cost.
In the book, Hammond was a greedy jerk who underappreciated everyone who worked with or for him. Apparently, he was a lot more selfish and did probably did underpay Nedry, making him desperate to survive, so he found it better do the wrong thing, while he could have filed a lawsuit or quit.
In the movie, however, it can be inferred that Nedry was being paid more than should be by Hammond, but he was the one who was unappreciative. Hammond could have fired him at the spot, but he still kept him despite his attitude. Yet a lot of evidence suggests that he probably had more earnings than many other staff, but his lifestyle made him broke. So I'm pretty sure that even if Hammond had been more generous, Nedry would have still done what he did, or just get more and more demanding.
Since book Hammond and movie Hammond are almost opposites of each other, these are just theories of fans or attempts from the writers to make the script reasonable (a guy being well paid and appreciative would certainly not sabotage his workplace).
in the first scene, when they bring the raptor cage to the door, the lights go green and you hear a lock. Well then it turns out either its not really locked or when the raptor charges the door it becomes unlocked (an error on the lock mechanism no doubt) if you pay attention to the lights on the side they go haywire after that and you hear a buzzing noise. My guess is Hammond blames the automation error for the door on Nedry and has penalized him (in the movie version). Clearly there was a huge fuck up in the first scene.
Uh uh you didn't say the magic word
I asked ChatGPT how much money someone who networks 8 connection machines and 2 million lines of code should make. It said $140,000.
lol
ChatGPT probably is forgetting a lot of variables but Dennis in the book was getting paid 150k in 1990’s money which is roughly around 400-450k a year today. Keep in mind though that he was the lowest bidder and Hammond lied about the scope of work he would have to perform for the park.
Really would loved some context as to what the financial problems were?
Did he have debt?
What was the source?
Was he being underpaid?
Underpaid
wonder whether Dennis was one of types of programmer back in 90s.
1🇺🇸🌈🌲📖🥷🏽 sweat...HOW WOULD I KNOW!?!? HAHA...
Can any comp sci guys tell us if what Denis Nedry has to do is actually that hard?
I work in IT, 10+ years in the industry. Here is my answer to your question: It all comes down to real world time, costs, and computer time. Basically, Denis is overwhelmed because he is one guy having to maintain systems (computers) that prevent killing dinosaurs from running away. This is why if you have a business, you don't give the master key to only 1 IT guy. An IT infrastructure for a business, or is this case a park takes time and money. The "connection machine" Nedry mentions are actually visible in this scene. The red squares behind him that keep moving. Connection Machines are basically very powerful computers able to compile either data at large capacity, or at a fast speed. Today they are known as servers and for the most part are stored off site like Amazon or Google. Giving this movie was 1994, networking a connection machine was not easy or cheap. Debugging code or looking for errors/glitches in your line of code took time even if done by a computer. Near the end of this scene when he is asked about fixing the headlight automation. Basically what he is saying is he wants to do that job at an appropriate time of the day, likely when the park is closed. The job requires "compile for half an hour". Compiling likely requires massive memory processing on the computer. Thus could cause other systems to run slow or go offline. It could make the difference of whether or not the raptor door locks stay locked. So he has a very valid point. Hopefully that explains your question.
Samuel L Jackson Is really awesome actor
What do you guys think Dennis’s reaction would be if he saw the tech used in Jurassic World?
I think there was a lot left out from the book this must be one of those scenes
In the book he was described as a graduate student who was contracted to write a database that could hold 1 billion entries in 1989 (the same amount of entries as a telecom at the time). There was a part in the book where Lew Dogeson asked his board of directors for the $ to bribe Nedry. When Nedry said, "We've got Dogeson here." he was recording the conversation for blackmail.
“I don’t blame people for their mistakes, but I ask that they pay for them.” ….like you creating a park full of dinosaurs without the government’s knowledge, and putting people’s lives in danger (including your grandkids) and ultimately killing a few of them? What about recklessly creating a frog/dinosaur hybrid or feeding them live animals just to entertain spectators?
Yes. He made a mistake and he paid for it.
John Hammond Very Angry
That’s what you get for hiring Newman!
Apparently the raptor that killed Arnold eventually died of cancer. Gosh this character smokes a lot.
I don’t condone Denise for his actions be it in the books or the movie. But in the books it explains why Denise did what he did and how Hammond was much more corrupt in the books than the movie.
Washing down candy with soda is just so gross.
In the book Nedrys fate was far more brutal and sad though his demise was his own fault.
For the longest time I thought Dennis really was Hammond's son
What a strange, crazy man.
Ah, my favourite Sam Jackson part, whats-his-name from Jurassic Park.
I often wonder how accurate Hammond and Nedry's relationship is to the books. I often see people shit on Nedry for being greedy but if they haven't strayed too far from the source material then Nedry is a victim here. He is overworked, underpaid AND Hammond went out of his way to sabotage his relationship with his other clients so that Nedry can never leave his employment.
The "I don't blame people for my mistakes, but I ask that they pay for them" line makes me suspect that whatever the issue is, it's between Nedry and Hammond, rather than Nedry and someone else. If you use the book but shift the perspective, it could line up. Instead of Nedry's book perspective of "What did you expect - you gave me no info and are upset that the code doesn't work" can turn into Hammond's likely perspective of "We paid you a bunch, and it's full of mistakes. Why should we pay you more to fix them?"
none of the other movies came close to this one
Me to every actor and director of DCU: 0:53
nedry is so nerdy xD
how rude Dennis is. and What Hammond said of he will not be drawn into a financial debate with him, this is what happens really.
How many of you hated this guy for ruining Jurassic Park? 😡
He obviously fucked up hard and probably got someone killed but hammond couldnt fire him.
I love how in the movie a dinosaur edited that stupid fker out for good.
Good dino.
Ray ark john talk about him nedry then talk robert about say tyrannosaur paddock
"jolt" cola, no red bull, monster, rockstar, C4
You know now that im older i get both needry and john neddry was the butt end of the joke and was never giving proper respect and to be fair to hammond he did feel sorry for dennis but the man was trying to figure out dino dna and couldent work on wages plus needry put himself in that hole in the first place but in all serionious the sceane between them feels erirrly simliar to a boss and emplyee chat
When Dennis said thanks dad it thanks dad that wasn't just being a smart ass John Hammond is Dennis nedry's stepfather I don't think when Dennis nedry decided to do industrial espionage to engine it wasn't just because he was underpaid no I think there was more of a personal vendetta against John Hammond. He probably hated that his mom Mary John Hammond folly fell it was only because of his money and is an even though john's a nice carrying loving man he felt like John ever showed simple appreciations he did to his own kids. So Dennis nedry doing all this was more personal revenge than life like a being paid. That's why I don't feel any pity when he got eaten by the dinosaurs.
