The 'Jurassic' series takes its inevitable turn into an agribusiness conspiracy thriller and Adam Sandler's new Netflix drama casts him as an NBA scout who bonds with an unknown Spanish prospect.
I haven't seen Dominion yet, I see it in....seven hours and nine minutes, but a line in the Hustle review actually gives me a structure to explain why I'm still looking forward to it despite the reviews being, uh, abysmal.
"Hustle is a hoophead’s delight, rife with detail about international scouting and networking, the language of NBA insiders, and even the specific abuses of hotel minibars."
Well, I anticipate Dominion still being in large part a paleo nerd's delight, rife with new species I've never seen portrayed, new takes on ones that I have, and fruit for debates that will be novel for about thirty seconds and then admittedly exhausting in pretty short order.
Now, do I anticipate it being a good movie? Not necessarily. Out of the four sequels in the franchise, I think there's a sum of maybe two good movies worth of parts in the mix. As I said on Filmspotting when I admitted that this was my most anticipated movie of the summer over Nope, I just know my brand, and I'm the dinosaur man even moreso than the movie guy.
If anyone wonders whether there are any career prospects after your run on E/R, Top Gun, and Revenge of the Nerds, look no further than Anthony Edwards who went on to become a #1 basketball draft pick. (Yes, I know but had to look that up. Isn't this the kind of thing SAG is supposed to prevent?)
If you'd told me in '93 I'd be more interested in seeing a Sandler movie over a dinosaur movie...

I was really trying to believe that a good script was what had brought the original cast back to Jurassic World, but..... this just sounds atrocious
