Jurassic World (SPOILERS!)

I think there were quite a few memorable lines in JW but they haven't imprinted on everyone after only one or two viewings.
Lots of big laughs from my crowds for:
"I was with the Navy not the Navajo!"
"What do you think is going to happen with you just staring at them??"
"Will you just be a man and do something for once?" "Why'd you have to make it personal..."
And so on. Not nearly as many as JP though.

Broke and happy
The Navajo one was funny.
Her yelling Runnn is also a call back to 1.

Then no one should compare movie of different eras at all. Saying that this or that movie grossed the most money of any movie ever made is simply meaningless without some context. Inflation is an imperfect metric, but it's the best we have access to. Fact of the matter is, Gone with the Wind sold more tickets than any other movie.
"Yeah but technology doesn't eat you when you forget to feed it" was also an obvious throwback to the POTC line in the first one.
The music swelling as the nerd moves toward the girl who then says "wait, I have a boyfriend"... got the biggest laugh in my theater.
He was really funny, but felt like he was planted into the movie for just that purpose.

I always said that the main problem with Jaws was that it didn't have enough dinosaurs, and a guy trying to start up a park with dinosaurs and, uh, Jaws. And not enough Jeff Goldblum. Sure enough, the stars aligned and gave me the sequel that I insisted on years later.
BTW, I still haven't seen this new Jurassic Park, and probably won't until it's on DVD, but I will be seeing Jaws in the theater in a couple of weeks
And I won't be seeing Genysys, but will see the Terminator on Wednesday
**** ****ty sequels, IMO.

I'm seeing Back to the Future in theaters next week for the anniversary.
Terminator is showing a little over an hour from me but I hope to be able to make the drive on Wednesday.
Since we're sharing out favorite quotes from the JP franchise:
They're moving in herds. They do move in herds.
They're moving in herds. They do move in herds.
And what was with the magic cigarette that would NOT fall out of Sam Jackson's mouth when he talked. 
I got to see that one, and Ghostbusters last year. I'm fortunate that a lot of my favorites are getting the re-screening treatment.
Hold on to your butts.
That's the kind of line little kids just love. It's almost naughty.

How about JP1's WORST lines...?
A vege-saurus.
*eyeing the most pointless video display ever* I can do this.

May not be exact quote:
'People would say they could see the fleas, ''oh mummy can't you see the fleas'', clown fleas and high-wire fleas and fleas on parade....but with this place..I wanted to give them something that wasn't an illusion, something that was real; something they could reach out and touch..and, in the end, not devoid of merit'
Ellie has a line that I've forgotten
''you're right, you're absolutely right. Hiring Nedry was a mistake, we're over-dependant on automation, I can see that now. But everything's correctable. Next time it'll be flawless. Creation is an act of sheer will''
Melancholy scene with Hammond and Ellie in a big empty dining room surrounded by Jurassic Park merchandise and some nice John Williams piano scoring. I'm curious how much of that I got right^

Ugh... the Flea speech. Yes... the worst winner!

Versus masterful JW dialogue
"We should probably stick together. For survival"
Cue JP melodica theme.

There's three moments in JP that have always bugged me and taken me out of the movie.
1. The mouthy kid at the digging site. Doesn't come off as genuine at all. Feels so contrived to me, the kid is just planted there with dialogue I just don't buy that he'd say, it's this big confrontational scene with the people cheesily parting to reveal the kid, I just think it's dumb. I don't even buy that Gran't offhand comments about the Raptors vertebrae being like a bird or whatever would illicit laughter. The whole thing is just so forced.
2. The freaking flashlight. Good grief. Who would DO that? A T-Rex has his back turned to you so you go out of your way to activate a massive beacon that leads it right to you? Beyond bizarre.
3. The conversation between Hammond and Ellie that a-dev already mentioned. Right from the beginning. The way she's standing there watching Hammond as the camera pans, then right when it stops she moves. Just *feels* like I'm watching Spielberg go, "and camera pan...stop, and ACTION!" Always takes me out of the moment and then it's just another massively forced conversation that neither actor seems to feel comfortable with.
For all of its "cheesiness" or "absurdity" or whatever you want to say is in JW it still had not a single scene that took me out of the movie like those three in JP.
