(Spoilers) No, he's not their son. In the scene where Ant shows Agnes the album book, the last photo showed Ant with his real family. Also, the note he passed to Agnes was written in Danish, a further indication that he was not their real son but was from Denmark and had Danish parents.
I know you're being sarcastic, but that's no comparison. You're talking about a specific object in a movie. I'm referring to entire storytelling structures clearly patterned after other TV series that were massively popular at the time or just a few years prior.
I didn't mention anything about whether they knew the raptors could get into the bunker. I specifically said they didn't know if the raptors would follow them and wait them out.
That's not my argument. What I'm saying is that he had greater box office success and consistent quality movies in the 90s than he did in the 80s and for that reason, the 90s was his best decade. The poster listed five movies of his from the 80s, two of which I agree are absolute classics (The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China). But Kurt also appeared or starred in a lot of forgettable or mediocre movies in the 80s. Movies like Winter People, The Mean Season, Swing Shift, The Best of Times, and Tequila Sunrise made no impression on either the critics or audiences and are just pretty much forgotten about these days. And as much as I love The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China, they both flopped at the box office.
Taking into account a combination of quality, acclaim, and box office success, I would say the 90s tops the 80s for Kurt.
I think Top Gun: Maverick is proof that if you make a great, critically-acclaimed crowd-pleasing blockbuster that respects its iconic lead character from an 80s movie, audiences will come out in droves for the movie.
Just a little over a year ago, I never would have guessed that a Top Gun sequel would outgross the latest Indiana Jones movie, but yet it's looking like that will be the case. I'm not even sure Dial of Destiny will gross half of Maverick.
I also loved Christopher Pike's books. I think I read over 90% of his stuff. I was pretty disappointed by this series. Trying to fit in some of his other novels as anthology short stories did ill service to some of his best books, especially See You Later. They deserved a full length treatment.
Two reasons I can think of not to do that. The first is that Alan and the kids were still out there and the remaining survivors didn't know where they were. Ellie and Muldoon would be exposing Grant and the kids more to the raptors the longer they waited to get to the breakers.
The second reason is that there's no way of knowing the raptors wouldn't just follow Ellie and Muldoon's tracks back to the bunker and wait them out.
But of course, we know that waiting them out wouldn't have worked anyway since the kids were at the Visitors Center.
I've read that seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back and that season 3 was already done filming when season 2 premiered. Given this fact, it would not shock me that season 2 turned out the way it did because Paramount gave the showrunners two seasons worth of a budget to work with and the showrunners decided they wanted to spend most of it on season 3 and that's why season 2 was a 21st century time travel story, to save on costs.
Pretty much every American/European Jet Li movie.
Good choices. My own personal choice would be to score it like James Horner's music from Krull, my favorite 1980s fantasy score. Anything other than what we got in this film!
