Weekly Ramblecast 148: The Ultimate D-BOX
Added 2024-04-09 20:31:37 +0000 UTCThe occasion of a total solar eclipse and a New York earthquake gets us feeling a little Biblical this week before we then consider how much worse the dinosaurs had it, plus Jurassic Park: the novel, Brad's driving renaissance, Vinny's EV interest, and plenty more.

Comments
Jurassic Park is almost too good of a movie to go back to the book IMO, but The Lost World book kicks ass

2024-04-16 19:58:41 +0000 UTCJurassic Park was interesting to read after the movie. The character changes and how certain situations were handled, as well as discovering Michael Crichton‘s Cray Computer fetish, made it interesting to read to contrast it against the movie. Lost World less so. The movie was… More action oriented I guess. Listen, the T-Rex stomping through San Diego and eating the family dog was definitely not in the book is what I am trying to get at. Edit: Mournlands? Y’all playing in Eberron? I love that setting!
