Hey, thanks for asking!
THE LOST WORLD JURASSIC PARK
I’d only ever watched this once. I hated the book which attempted to be a sequel to both the original wonderful book and the original not wonderful movie which made all sorts of stupid changes so people that died are alive again. It’s been four years and suddenly somewhere along the line, Malcolm has picked up a 12-year-old black daughter and whoever her mother is she’s not in his life. Anyway, they go back and have a very run-of-the-mill adventure with lots of big stupid written and (second unit) directed by one of the worst people working in Hollywood, even John Williams music is one
of his poorest efforts.
Toby Ziegler gets eaten by a T-Rex!
The father of the little girl who gets attacked at the beginning is played
by Ethan Rayne of BUFFY and IMDb says the actor died young. :-(
IMDb also says the little girl grew up beautiful.
The incredibly protracted sequence with the RV hanging off the cliff is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen.
It never occurs to anybody that the fact that Julianne Nicholson
is covered
with baby T-Rex blood (not to mention why since it had a broken leg not a gaping wound) is probably bad if you’re trying not to have the adult T-Rex track you.
Later, Malcolm tells us
that the T-Rex can only track the baby T-Rex by
sound. That seems like it would be easy enough to take care of. How does
the adult even know the baby is in Sandy Eggo at all?
So the T-Rex rides the ship to Sandy Eggo. Malcolm and party go there in a helicopter. Despite the helicopter being 10 times faster than the ship they seem to get there at the same time.
On board the ship, the T-Rex gets out of the hold somehow and eats
everybody, leaving lots of disembodied hands behind. Somehow it got into
the wheelhouse and ate everybody except for their hands, and then managed
to trap itself in the hold again, while the disembodied hand closed the lid over it and held it shut. Another disembodied hand works the steering
wheel and navigates from Costa Rica to Sandy Eggo, but there isn’t yet another disembodied hand on the throttle.
Somehow, inGen has built a giant Jurassic Park facility in the middle of
San Diego complete with signage and nobody noticed.
The big game hunter waves his fee in order to kill an adult male Tyrannosaurus rex. What makes him think there’s a tyrannosaurus running loose on the island? If there is what makes him think it’s a male? Why would there be a male dinosaur on the island when the dinosaurs are all female?
Just every moment is another layer of rancid onion burning away.
I also watched some more episodes of DREW CAREY.
Meanwhile, my dad‘s old beloved recliner broke. It looks like I may have to move into a room with a television.

Please use the actor's, and not just the character's name - it's Robin
Sachs.

Huh? If I said "Vinnie", no one would get the reference?

That's Camilla Belle. She's famous in her own right. She definitely was beautiful, but like with Emmanuelle Chriqui and Jordana Brewster, that's
less true now.

You mean Julianne Moore - Julianne Nicholson is the one who is currently starring in "Paradise", and she was not in "Lost World" (or any JP film
that I am aware of).

Yes. I barely like any part of the first JP film, and recall hating both (original) sequels with a passion. The later sequels are little better.
I also watched some more episodes of DREW CAREY.

I've been needing to get a recliner for years. But it's a logistical
problem on several levels so I've never bothered yet.

Darn it, I was hoping you could explain how the dinosaur got back in the cargo hold in the time for the ship to dock. :-/

This is one of those movies that's not even good background noise
because it doesn't have a commentary track. At least if it had a
commentary I could turn it on and listen to the commentary while I did something else.
But it's been a few years since I last watched them, and now a new one
is on the way. I guess I'll go through them again. Maybe I'll finally figure out how that dino got itself into the cargo hold if I pay extra
close attention next time I watch.

If they had a couple of raptors loose on board, they would’ve never had to have let the T-Rex out in the first place. It solves all the other problems as well.

There are several available. I suggest that Riff tracks might be the most appropriate.

Nice idea, but they need to have *video* with the audio. Yeah, I know copyright and all that. Even though I would have the movie on, I
suspect I would find it more distracting without video or maybe more distracting with that static picture. But I'll save it. It may come in handy soon. :-)
