The raptor is trying to get through the door and eat everyone, your sister is busy trying to hack the system, and the two adults are trying like hell to keep the door closed while also trying to reach the shotgun.
What does he do? Hand them the gun? Use his, until this very moment useless, dead weight to help hold the door? Nope, just hops up and down.
I’ll tell you who pisses me off from Jurassic Park - Michael fucking Crichton.
So, I know the guy Ian Malcolm was based on. He’s a complexity theorist I worked with a bit. Jeff Goldblum famously (in our tiny science community) called him but rather than asking about things like chaos theory he just asked about the guys family and stuff. In retrospect it makes sense, but the guy was really thrown by someone not wanting to talk about chaos theory.
Anyway - Michael Crichton was a fucking asshole. I want you to hear that in the voice of your favorite character from What We Do in the Shadows. He turned into a conspiracy theorist, wrote that weird grey goo book about nanotechnology, and was generally just an unpleasant person who thought his intelligence was significantly higher than it actually was, as demonstrated when people actually tried to talk to him about complexity theory.
I was actually a fan of his work until I started working there and his brain headed south like a monarch butterfly on crack.
Tim from Jurassic Park (film).

I was a fan of his work until now. Damn it. lol
Just wait till you read the book and find out how much of a dead weight some of those people are.
Oh I have. But the post was about movie characters so I stuck to that lol. Don’t get me started on Ed Regis.
