Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Jurassic World Dominion is stomping in like it’s the long-awaited conclusion to a trilogy we've been following with baited breath but it brings nothing new to its franchise. The picture seems to have no ambitions beyond being “another Jurassic Park movie”. That’s not enough, certainly not when you have all of these characters, find nothing to do with them, and then cap off your story with a message that contradicts everything we've seen so far.

Four years after the incident that released countless dinosaur species into our world, Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) are protecting them from poachers while taking care of Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) - the first human clone. When Maisie and the Velociraptor Beta, are captured by bounty hunters and sent to the government-approved Biosyn Genetics company, Claire, Owen, and their pilot, Kayla Watts (DeWanda Wise) set out to rescue them. Meanwhile, paleobotanist Dr. Eli Sattler (Laura Dern) discovers a swarm of giant locusts who devour all crops except those grown from Biosyn seeds. With the help of paleontologist Allan Grant (Sam Neill), she hopes to approach Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) - working at Biosyn - for answers.

I suspect you can already tell why Dominion goes awry. This picture has too many characters and it's stuffing them all, along with the dinosaurs together in this bloated story that requires people to wind up in this one location when they’ve got no business going there. Why would supervillain Dr. Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott, playing the guy who gave Dennis Nedry the shaving cream container in Jurassic Park) hire Malcolm? So the chaotician can demoralize his staff with lectures Monday-through-Friday? Why did "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" tell us that Blue is the last Velociraptor if we’re just going to retcon that away and give her the ability to reproduce asexually? If the movie wanted more velociraptors, just pick more raptor-like dinosaurs and have them attack our heroes! In fact, it does! with two different species!

Shockingly, this “concluding chapter in the Jurassic World Trilogy” is not all that interested in its dinosaurs. The locusts and Maisie turn out to be the biggest motivators for the heroes, meaning you could rewrite and shorten this movie significantly by removing the thunder-lizards from the plot entirely. I suspect director Colin Trevorrow (who co-wrote the screenplay with Emily Carmichael and has made nothing but clunkers since 2015) just didn’t know what to do with this series. For anyone reading, I’ve got a premise for you: A group of researchers need to recover critical cancer research from a laboratory deep in a valley now infested with dinosaurs. Instant high stakes, likeable characters, and the cretacious-era beasts are back to being horror movie antagonists. I can tell you're excited already!

We’re introduced to multiple prehistoric reptiles that ultimately all play second banana to the ones we saw in the original film and feel like they’ve been selected to give us something new… but not so new. Is Giganotosaurus significantly different from the Indominus Rex? I don’t see how. Then it ends on a note that should make even the most hardcore future paleontologists raise an eyebrow. We’re told that humans and dinosaurs might just be able to live together, that the leviathanesque Mosasaurus could live alongside whales, Triceratops among rhinoceroses, etc. That message might not ring so hollow if we hadn’t just watched six movies where prehistoric carnivores did nothing but eat people.

In this movie’s defence, the special effects are convincing. While the characters aren’t all that well utilized, it is a treat to see the cast of Jurassic Park together again. Jurassic World Dominion has many scenes of dinosaurs in urban settings, several of which feature people getting gobbled up, which I'm sure will delight many. I suppose this will tidy me over until we get that inevitable adaptation of Dinosaurs Attack! but what we have here is another Rise of Skywalker: a concluding chapter that had no idea what it wanted to be. (3D Theatrical version on the big screen, June 12, 2022)

Jurassic World: Dominion. Disappointed Fan Review.

Not as bad as you might have heard. Not particularly good either.

Ever since this viewer first, saw it as part of a 2011 UK cinema re-release the original Jurassic Park has been in his top five favourite films. The ground-breaking effects may be starting to look like a product of their time but the sheer scale and construction of the set-piece sequences still have the power to create cinematic wonder all these years later. The original sequels have their…

Do you have any recommended books on Lucifer and demonolatry besides the one by S Connolly?

Hi! Sorry for taking so long, I was quite overwhelmed with college. So first some recommendations:

Children of Lucifer by Ruben Van Luijk - an academic book on satanic history.

Satanic Feminism by Per Faxneld - on the intersection of feminism, liberation in general, and the satanic. A book formative for my practice even though it doesn't much deal with religious Satanism.

The Devil's Party: Satanism in Modernity edited by Per Faxneld and Jesper Petersen - I'm still not finished with that one, as college makes me have much less energy for reading even more academic texts, but I've liked the previous book by Faxneld and the essays I've read so far were interesting.

The Luminous Stone: Lucifer in Western Esotericism edited by Michael Howard and Daniel A. Schulke - I admit I don't remember much of the contents as I read it when I was beginning to work with Lucifer, and it's worth knowing that this one is not academic like the three listed before, but you can see some perspectives of the practicioners in it as it's an essay collection with many contributors.

As for Connoly - I don't like her books. They're poorly researched and perpetuating misinformation, they are very appropriative too, and in the Complete Book of Demonolatry she openly references a Joy of Satan website, waving the fact that they're a nazi cult away with "theological differences", which makes her seem to be way too comfortable with nazis. Koetting, a nazi who inspired actual murder, lists her on his Become a Living God website as someone he collaborated with, though she herself denies so I don't know what to think since Koetting is hardly a credible source and he lists 20 people there. Still - the Joy of Satan link is right there in her book.

Happy 80th Birthday Billy Connolly.

The comedian and actor Billy Connolly was born on November 24th 1942 in Glasgow, into a poor and not altogether stable family; he left school at age 15 and served as (among other jobs) a shipyard worker, a paratrooper in the Territorial Army, and a welder, the latter including a stint building an oil rig in Nigeria. Shortly after his return, Connolly quit working and, supporting himself with the money he’d saved, concentrated on learning to play folk music on the banjo and guitar. He became a regular on the Glasgow folk scene, instantly recognisable with his wild hair and beard; he drifted in and out of several bands before forming the Humblebums with guitarist Tam Harvey in 1965. Gerry Rafferty (later of Stealers Wheel and “Baker Street” fame) joined sometime later, and the group built a following with their live performances, which spotlighted Connolly’s humorous between-song bits.

As Rafferty’s songs became the Humblebums’ primary musical focus, tensions among the members escalated; Harvey departed, and Connolly and Rafferty recorded two albums in 1969 and 1970 before disagreements over Connolly’s concert comedy split them up in 1971.

Connolly soon began performing around Scotland and northern England, concentrating more on comedy but still mixing occasional folk songs into his act. 1972 saw the release of Connolly’s first album, Live, and also the debut of The Great Northern Welly Boot Show, a musical play Connolly co-authored with poet Tom Buchan based on his experiences in the shipyards of Glasgow. The show was a hit in Edinburgh and London, and Polydor signed Connolly to a recording contract. In 1974, his Solo Concert album sparked protests from the Christian community over a rowdy routine in which Connolly described the Last Supper as if it had taken place in Glasgow; all the publicity only helped his career, and he was quickly becoming one of Scotland’s favourite entertainers.

His 1974 follow-up album, Cop Yer Whack for This, became his biggest hit yet, going gold in the U.K., and the comic take on Tammy Wynette’s “D.I.V.O.R.C.E.” became a surprise number one hit single in 1975. That same year also saw Connolly put in star-making appearances on Michael Parkinson’s chat show and at the London Palladium. He consolidated his success with a rigorous touring schedule over the next few years (including the massive Extravaganza tour of the U.K. in 1977), and continued to release comedy recordings on a regular basis into the ‘80s.

During the late ‘70s, Connolly began taking on acting roles in television and film productions, and tried his hand at playwriting, with somewhat less success. His first marriage dissolved in 1981 amidst an affair with comedienne Pamela Stephenson (whom he would later marry in 1989, the same year he shaved off his trademark shaggy beard). Taking up residence in London with Stephenson, Connolly continued his comedy career while taking on more theatrical and television roles.

Toward the late '80s, his appearances on American television became more frequent, which – along with an unsold pilot for a Dead Poets Society series – helped Connolly land a gig replacing Howard Hesseman on the high school honour-student comedy Head of the Class in 1990. His highest-profile American exposure was short-lived, however, as the series was cancelled after just one season; however, Connolly was back on American airwaves in early 1992, starring in the sitcom Billy. It too was cancelled after a short run, and after appearing in the film Indecent Proposal, Connolly returned to the U.K. (though he still officially resided in the Hollywood Hills).

In 1994, he hosted the acclaimed series World Tour of Scotland, which explored the flavor of contemporary Scottish culture. It proved so successful that Connolly hosted two further exploration-themed BBC series: 1995’s A Scot in the Arctic, in which he spent a week on a remote northern Canadian island, and 1996’s World Tour of Australia. Lent a new respectability, Connolly appeared in BBC Scotland’s historical dramas Deacon Brodie and Mrs. Brown, the latter of which also featured Judi Dench and was released worldwide to much acclaim.

In 2012, Connolly provided the voice of King Fergus in Pixar’s Scotland-set animated film Brave, alongside fellow Scottish actors Kelly Macdonald, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson, and Kevin McKidd. Connolly appeared as Wilf in Quartet, a 2012 British comedy-drama film based on the play Quartet by Ronald Harwood, directed by Dustin Hoffman. In 2014, Connolly appeared in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies as Dáin II Ironfoot, a great dwarf warrior and cousin of Thorin II Oakenshield. Sir Peter Jackson stated that “We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the staunchest and toughest of dwarves, than Billy Connolly, the Big Yin himself. With Billy stepping into this role, the cast of The Hobbit is now complete. We can’t wait to see him on the battlefield.”

In September 2013, Connolly underwent minor surgery for early-stage prostate cancer. The announcement also stated that he was being treated for the initial symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Connolly had acknowledged earlier in 2013 that he had started to forget his lines during performances, adding later he was finding it hard to remember how to play his banjo.

In 2017 for his 75th birthday Glasgow bestowed upon Billy three 50 foot murals , to add to the many murals in the city, in 2007 and again in 2010, he was voted the greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4’s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. He once again topped the list on Channel 5’s Greatest Stand-Up Comedians, broadcast on New Year’s Eve 2013.

Recently Billy has spoken about his Parkinson’s saying that he now walks “unsteadily” and that his “hearing is going”. He admits he would love to go back on stage but that “I don’t know if I can do it with the state my mind is in.” he appeared on Radio 2’s Chris Evans show and told him “I don’t think the way I used to,” he went on…“….and steadily more symptoms come and it’s incurable. It’s not going to end. As a matter of fact, I had a Russian doctor in New York who said, 'You realise this is an incurable disease?’"And I said, 'You got to get a grip of yourself, stop calling it an incurable disease, say we have yet to find the cure. Give the guy a light in the tunnel.’”

Billy retired from his stage shows officially IN 2018, but he has kept himself busy, he hit our screens with another series of his Great American Trail, which will follow him as he replicates the route taken by Scottish immigrants who came to America in the early 18th century. He also brought out a new book, called Tall Tales and Wee Stories, to launch it Billy’s face was projected on to buildings in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

In November 2019, The Glasgow Evening Times named Connolly as The Greatest Glaswegian as determined by a public poll. Connolly has been a patron of the National Association for Bikers with a Disability. His first sculpture, which is inspired by his past as a welder, was released in March 2020.

Last year when asked on BBC’s The One Show, what is it like living with Parkinson’s, he said:

“It has its moments. It’s like just now, my left hand is shaking. I used to be able to stop it by staring at it, but it doesn’t work so much anymore. It’s not a frightened of me as what it used to be."

However, during the BBC documentary Made in Scotland, viewers became worried about the star’s health after he said:

"My life, it’s slipping away and I can feel it and I should."I’m a damn sight nearer the end than I am the beginning. But it doesn’t frighten me, it’s an adventure and it is quite interesting to see myself slipping away.”

However, Billy made it clear following the documentary that he was not close to death, and posted a video online to address viewers’ worries.

The big yin has been hane recently and a few pics have cropped up of him on social media, he was seen having mince and tatties at a “Loch Lomond Pub” the pub in questions is a favourite of my Sister, Sandra, The Oak Tree at Balmaha, he also in Jessie Biscuit in Milngavie in the past couple of weeks.

Today, to mark his 80th National Theatre of Scotland announced a ply about our national treasure, Dear Billy will tour in theatres and community centres across Scotland next year.

Featuring stories from the general public about The Big Yin, the show has been created by Gary McNair, who wrote and performed the acclaimed 2014 play Donald Robertson Is Not A Stand-Up Comedian.

Connolly has given his blessing to the production and a seat will be saved for him at every show in case he wants to drop by. And McNair plans to collect even more stories about the Glaswegian stand-up while on the road to make every show different.

Radio 4 Xtra is also currently repeating comedian Janey Godley's 2015 series about Connolly, The Big Yin..

Happy Birthday Billy.

Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, 1934)

Cast: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Jameson Thomas, Alan Hale, Arthur Hoyt, Blanche Friderici, Charles C. Wilson. Screenplay: Robert Riskin, based on a story by Samuel Hopkins Adams. Cinematography: Joseph Walker. Art direction: Stephen Goosson. Film editing: Gene Havlick. Music: Howard Jackson.

It Happened one Night was made before Frank Capra let his sentimental populism go to his head, so it has just the right amount of social consciousness, especially the sympathy for the victims of the Great Depression. We see it in the camaraderie of the bus riders singing "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," the willingness of Peter (Clark Gable) to give his last dollar to help a mother and son who have spent all their money on bus fare and have none left for food, and in the sense of entitlement shown by rich girl Ellie (Claudette Colbert), who learns a lesson when she tries to jump the queue for the showers at the trailer court. Later, Capra would want to preach at us about the power of The People in Meet John Doe (1941) and the way One Man Can Change the World in It's a Wonderful Life (1946), films I can find it hard to watch today. But here he's just content to give us a good-natured romantic comedy with a social subtext. It has all the earmarks of the genre: a meet-cute, a hate-at-first-sight, a falling-in-love, a crisis, and a happy ending -- the paradigmatic runaway bride. It's not especially a laugh-riot, which may be why Gable and Colbert, who didn't want to make the movie to start with, thought when they'd finished it that it would be a bomb. Its charms are quieter but in their way entirely satisfying, in part because whatever their doubts about the movie they were making, the two stars were consummate pros and Capra allowed their natural charm and charisma to shine. All three of them won Oscars, of course, as did the movie and Robert Riskin for his screenplay. Joseph Walker's cinematography deserves a mention, as does a cast that includes Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale, and, as the dimwit bus driver whose only response to Peter's insults is a feeble "Oh, yeah," Ward Bond.

A Christmas Bestiary HC - John Kenn Mortensen & Benni Bodker

A tongue-in-cheek guide to the beasts to watch out for during a cozy Christmastime.

Indifferent to his advances, she preferred the warmth of her feline finery to his, leading him down a dark path that separates the woman from one of her beloved black cats! Thus, the cat begins a fantastic voyage, from the bottom of the sea to the smokey markets of London, sometimes in the company of Sherlock Holmes himself, as he becomes a figure of myth and legend.

Bayer's limitations and futile ambitions are brought into sharp relief as he grapples with an estranged, unknowable parent and the play's frustrating lack of resolution. Humans worship lore, myth, and fables, but many people's creative dreams become abandoned. Why? Josh Bayer stitches scattered memories into surrealistic episodes permeated with dream logic. Unended is a Promethean quest to excavate the creative fire hidden inside us.
