    Jurassic world: afterbirth. It was so bad and so nonsensical, there’s nothing to be gleamed from it other than cash grab. And cash grab is… Universal.

      I think you mean Jurassic World Rebirth. There is a political message in it: that medical care shouldn’t be for profit and everyone should have access to it. This message, however, could be taken out of the film without much changing. But my tastes are shallow when it comes to the Jurassic franchise, I just wanna see dinosaurs

        Damnit, I forgot about that part, and was so focused on how bad it was. There were hardly any dinosaurs in that movie, just monsters. And no, I said the name as I meant it. Afterbirth or stillbirth is far more accurate than rebirth. That was by far the worst movie in the franchise, which is saying a lot. And probably one of the worst “A” movies this decade. Like the guy that sacrificed himself, and then that was undone? Felt like a focus group move and a bad choice. The dude that was rushing to the docks in a 17+ year old EV that still had a charge? That same guy wasn’t even in the room when it was found out that there was a boat there at all. It was a C movie with A movie funding. Absolute garbage movie.

        But you are right about the political aspect of sharing medical technology vs capitalising it.

        But God damn was that a bad movie…

    I was going to say the brave little toaster but I did forget that Kirby takes a moment to breakdown Marxism v Leninism v stalinism v Maoism.
