McKayla Is Not Impressed: Jurassic Park

McKayla Maroney is not impressed is still fun, and a good segue to talk about something random. I also just wanted an excuse to make another one, like the Kerri Strug/Bela Karolyi one from last week. Here, she is not impressed with dinosaurs or Jurassic Park.

Speaking of Jurassic Park, the date is set for the 20th Anniversary 3D re-release of the original film: April 5, 2013. I'm not much for 3D re-releases, but seeing big dinosaurs coming at you in 3D might just be worth it. Even though Jurassic Park came out in 1993, those dinosaur effects look better than the special effects in many movies that come out now. They used a combination of CGI and animatronics, which adds to the realism. Thankfully they apparently will be using animatronics for the fourth film as well.

Speaking of Jurassic Park 4 (Jurassic Park IV?), the writers for the successful Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, are writing it. No word on when filming starts or who will be in it from previous films, but producer Frank Marshall has said Summer 2014 could be the aim for them. Of course that date can change. Fear not, even though Steven Spielberg won't be directing, he will be involved with it. Laura Dern, star of HBO's Enlightened, has been rumored to reprise her role from the first & third films as Dr. Sattler.

Paying with Pennies; MTV Movie Awards

I saw this story and had to laugh! A man named Jason West in Salt Lake City, Utah was in a dispute with a Medical Clinic about a $25 charge he didn't think he owed. So his way of handling it was by going to the clinic to pay-with 2,500 pennies that he dumped on the counter! Definitely badass! Sadly they called the cops and he was arrested for "a protest that served no legitimate purpose." I have no idea how someone can be arrested for trying to pay with legal money.

I say paying with pennies is badass. I have no idea how someone can get 2,500 pennies, but the next time you go buy something cheap for like a dollar, try and gather up 100 pennies to pay for it! I'm sure the look on the person's face would be priceless. That would make a good Senior Prank for you teenagers, have everyone pay for lunch with small change. It's been done before probably, but it's funny every time.

Oh, and in other news Robert Pattinson dropped the F-Bomb live on the Mtv Movie Awards and it didn't get censored. This is the second time this year at a live awards show, the first was when Melissa Leo did it at the more prestigious Oscars. I love it both times! Live TV F-bombs are the best. In the trailer for Super 8, it sounded like a dinosaur! Jurassic Park prequel? No, but whatever the monster/alien is in the movie will be cool. And of course the clip for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 presented by the always great Emma Watson gave fans just a taste of the action packed finale for the epic franchise. Oh, and those monkeys in the James Franco starring Rise of the Planet of the Apes are creepy. I prefer the cheesy 60s costumes/makeup from the first one.
