Regarding Jurassic Park 4, can we bring back the Sleestacks with their cool colored rocks and stuff? Other than this, I can’t imagine any reason I’d want to watch this movie.

Those are all great ideas. I was going to suggest something similar to your JP7 idea. Mammoths and sabertooth cats and such…. worried that it would be taken too much like the cartoon…… But it could work if done correctly.

Why isn’t Matthoggua in charge of the JP franchise? Why am I not possessed of billions of dollars to help make this happen? Damn you, reality! Damn you!!!

Jurassic Park 4: The Radiating Principle. Pterosaurs start to appear in the skies of the mainlands, and terrible carnivorous reptiles in the seas of the world. Will the earth learn to live with its new inhabitants, or will they have to be destroyed? New creatures include: Quetzalcoatlus (the largest of all pterosaurs), Kronosaurus (a huge, oceanic predator).

Jurassic Park 5: The New Wardens. Odd energy readings from the island prompt the sending of a team of scientists and their heavily-armed, heavily-trained guards. But will even they stand against Velociraptors that have organized themselves into a kingdom, and learned to use the technology left behind? New creatures include: Dimorphodon (a small pterosaur, used as falcons by the ‘raptors), Styracosaurus (used as war-mounts!).

Jurassic Park 6: The Ambassadors. A peace having been reached in the previous movie with the ‘raptors, a delegation of representatives of this new society is invited to New York City. But little does anyone know that one of the delegates seeks a goal quite in opposition of peace… New creatures include: Argentinosaurus (one of the really big sauropods, let loose in NY as a distraction), Mononykos (A small, feathered predator, which can be controlled vocally by the ‘raptors).

Jurassic Park 7: Ice Age. A Japanese company decides to create its own park, using extinct mammals, which they believe will be more manageable than dinosaurs. But is a Velociraptor truly more dangerous than a saber-toothed tiger, a Triceratops more destructive than an Imperial Mammoth? New creatures include: All sorts of extinct mammals and birds.

Jurassic Park 8: Isla Sorna. A team of diplomats sent to the island to make contact with the ‘raptors experiences, you know, an accident of some sort, and a by-now-old-fashioned run-from-dinosaurs ensues. And are the Velociraptors still interested in peace, anyway? New creatures include: Phobosuchus (a 50-foot crocodile), Giganotosaurus (a carnivore larger than Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus).

Jurassic Park 9: Dinosaurmageddon (apologies to Gabe & Tycho). Public knowledge of the existence of dinosaurs has led to mounting public demand for dinosaurs, and, over the protests of our heroes, it is decided to start recreating them in the world at large. But the ‘raptors have added something sinister to the genetic material of their fellows – a hidden trigger, leading to worldwide dinosaur revolt! New creatures include: Stygimoloch (like Pachycephalosaurus, only spikier), Ankylosaurus (where the fuck has Ankylosaurus been all this time?).

Jurassic Park 10: Jurassic World. A small, desperate pocket of humanity ekes out a tenuous existence in a shattered world, where dinosaurs are the masters! New creatures include: Amargasaurus (a sauropod with spikes all along its neck), Utahraptor (a really big version of Velociraptor).

In the words of Emperor Zombie, “Yes, I am a genius.”

Obviously, I don’t know a fraction of what you do about dinosaurs, but I’m just wondering if they can continue to have a dinosaur that is, in fact, bigger and meaner each time… like, for JP4, will they have a larger dinosaur eat the Allosaur to prove the situation is serious? And, how long could they theoretically continue to do this?

As for Keanu Reeves, my dislike for him is well-known, but I get around it by telling myself it’s an animated replica of Keanu, which, no doubt, can out-act Keanu himself. Put him in the hands of animators and suddenly he’s capable of expression!
