Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hopefully it's not spliced with frog DNA for no godly reason. I was rewatching Jurassic park last night and it really is a truly stupid plot point that absolutely could have fixed with 30 seconds worth of thought.

It actually has quite a few plot holes, we tend to gloss over them because it's otherwise such a good movie but there are aspects that really don't make sense, everyone tends to fixate on the third one but the first one has issues too.

I didn't watch them, but supposedly that is brought up in Jurassic World as the reason they don't have feathers and enables real palaeontologists to label them "not real dinosaurs".
