why was he so smug?
>>216480203He was a fucking idiot who just threw money at shit and expected it to work out, in a story where the main moral is that you cant control nature because unexpected shit will end up fucking you over.
he had an island full of dinosaurs. Are you telling me that if you woke up knowing you could fly to a tropical paradise filled with dinos whenever you wanted, that you wouldn't be walking around with a shit eating grin all the time?
>>216480300To expand on this, the whole thing about not actually earning any of the power at his disposal and standing on the shoulders of giants speaks to this general theme. I see a lot of parallels with Elon Musk, where he just has a fuckload of money so he hires people to do a thing that he wants done, and then they seem to work on the software model of "put something shitty but functional out, see where it fails, then iterate" but in industries where that's insanely expensive when you inevitably fuck up (aeronautics) or just a generally bad idea (automotive).
>>216480203He's still chasing that feeling of the flea circus
Cause he had the most memorable line in the entire franchise. He said it with such awe, grandeur, pride and splendor. >"Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Satler..."And he approaches the camera, gazing with wistful eyes into the distance, he says it with such admiration and bliss. >"Welcome....to Jurassic Park."Attenborough was a masterclass of acting.
He was spending other people’s money on a giant dragon themed amusement park like a little boy
>>216481120You think getting the voice of Richard Kiley to voice your tour vehicles with touchscreen interactive CD rom was easy?>*slurps TAB*Or cheap?
In the book he's just a fucking asshole and dies horribly getting ripped up by Comys like that guy in Lost World
But Grant and Malcom and the Lawyer and Nerdy are all smug too
>>216481906Grant was smug to a 10 year kid for shit talking his profession and bread and butterMalcolm was smug to a blonde student he wanted to add to a notch on his beltNedry was smug because he was going to fuck the place over and amke off with the embryos while hiding his industrial espionage under the cover of park failure and got eaten as a result of his hubrisGenarro was smug because he thought that he was going to assfuck John for blowing away the money of all the investors he represented and thought charging people egregious amounts of money to see prehistoric animals was a good idea. Coupon day to an island? Really?Hammond brought back fucking dinosaurs. Him smirking at Grant gasping for air watching the hunting and killing patterns of a living velociraptor was the biggest boner he popped since DisneyLand opened. He earned his smugness.
>>216480203because he knew he controlled the finest chilean sea bass in costa costa rica
>>216482556There's a Costa Costa Rica now?
>>216482578the elites don't want you to know this but costa rica is recursive
>>216480203he was white, rich, and made a dinosaur theme park, you'd be smug too.
>>216482609What are you gonna tell me next, that there is a NEW Mexico now?
>>216480203he spared no expression.
Was it chilli and sea bass or chilean sea bass?
>>216482864noone knows
>>216482864>>216482890Its an Patagonian cod, not a bass. "Toothfish" doesn't sound all that appetizing.
>>216482864mincemeat goes with everything and that was what she was expecting - the disappointment on her face says it all.
