#JurassicWorldRebirth was a very fun ride. A bit shallower than expected and frustrating at how it handles the continuity and science of the series, but was a meaner, visually stunning and more direct thrill ride - a souped up Jurassic Park 3!

Overall I hope this film delivers on:

• Feeling immersed in a gritty jungle setting once again
• Genuine shocks & thrills
• Moral scientific grey areas around the mission/motivations
• Meaningful story ties to the other films
• Surprises not yet revealed in the trailers
• Gnarly dino kills!

• Confident we'll great acting and delivery from the main cast, especially Ali!
• Cautiously optimistic the dinosaurs will actually feel threatening but also like real animals
• Concerned that the lore implications of the new island/mutants will leave us with more questions than answers

Final thoughts before seeing #JurassicWorldRebirth tomorrow:

• Excited for the visuals & set pieces Edwards can deliver on
• Intrigued to hear the score by Desplat
• Trepidatious about the script from Keopp - we need conflict & fleshed out characters that were missing from previous JW films

@stevenraymorris.bsky.social listening to your interview with Dewanda on #SeeJurassicRight - it's so rare to get long form and personable interviews with Jurassic actors. You're a gift to this community! 🙏

When prompted with "build something that will help protect animals from negative human impacts". Never change, kids.

Very excited about the new maps & campaign for #JurassicWorldEvolution3 - esp. the inclusion of Azores & Japan mentioned in the original novel 🏯🏝️

Malta, Montana & Dolomites are also nice ties to the JW era. I do hope there will be some JP-era gameplay - perhaps the return of Chaos Theory Mode... 🤞

It was a lot of fun playing the most cowardly man in the history of #TalesFromAJurassicWorld... Thank you @tomjurassic.bsky.social for the opportunity, and for the academy for your consideration... 🏆

NEW episode of #DinoDNA🦖🎙️

Dr Cary Woodruff @doublebeam.bsky.social and I discuss all things Pachycephalosaurs on @jurassicparkpod.bsky.social! Cary's got the low-down on these hard-headed herbivores: did they use those heads for ramming after all..? 🤔🐏

go touch grass:
- overused
- often requires bowing, difficult for people with bad back
- feels like taking a stroll around the busy neighborhood

go touch fern:
- edgy, exciting
- more elevation options for people with limited mobility
- feels like taking a stroll among big bugs in the Carboniferous

Full interior of the #London Street #MOC, featuring some rooms I haven't shared yet!

And the residents: the schlubby bionicle-obsessed gamer, the family, and Drs Kilroy and Goodall (yes, Jane Goodall).

I loved the recent Tahu mask and LEGO skull torsos - had to get them in there somehow!

me too - it's looking like the best film-year wave we've gotten since 2015, in terms of variety, set-pieces, and dinosaur distribution!

This is literally the perfect "Site B" style LEGO set. Where were you when I was 10.

Finally... I'm happy to present the completed #London Street #LEGO #MOC! Strangely, getting hold of the right coloured doors was the toughest part...
