What would be different in a "real" Jurassic Park movie?

If popular culture is to be believed, the movie would more appropriately be named Cretaceous Park.

What would we see in reptiles (and mammals) of the Jurassic period? From my (limited) understanding, those creatures would not be as predatory, agile, or blockbuster-y.

"Here Comes Treble" is not an a capella group at Cornell University, but there is a group called "Nothing But Treble." It was CU's first independent all-female a capella group and formed in 1976.

Thanks for the reply (that was fast)!

I hadn't ever considered that. I guess having dinosaurs/creatures that the average Joe would recognize made it an easier sell. If they had relatively free rein to 'design' their own dinosaurs/creatures it might have come off as a sci-fi/alien movie.

Similar to the specials on TV where people speculate on what aliens would look like on different planets, in different climates, etc. I would think that guessing at the appearances and characteristics of dinosaurs/creatures just based on knowledge of the environment/climate and ecology could yield some pretty wild results.

What, in your opinion, would be a completely 'unconventional' dinosaur/creature (appearance/features, behavior, characteristics) that would likely have existed back then (Jurassic or Cretaceous, I guess) based on our knowledge of the environment?

"lesser known side"

This is a very telling statement. This is not meant to downplay logistics, at least I hope it's not! Logistics is what is required to get anything done. Like the IT field, if the logistics folks are doing their jobs right, then you won't notice it (because everything will be running smoothly)!

This is mostly for how OP has explained it, aka movement of good/material from an external source, and redistributing it.

I work in a field known as Integrated Logistics Support, where we are more involved with systems engineering, product life cycles, sustainment planning and support, etc. In this realm, I refer to the logistics of moving goods/material as Supply Chain Management (for external goods/material that are brought into us) or Operations Management (for goods/material that goes through our assembly, manufacturing processes).

Wal-Mart has a very well-studied model of its operations because they do a lot of things very well. (In terms of efficiencies and optimizing goods/material movement and minimizing things like stagnant inventory, etc.) They are still a $#!+ place to shop or even be near as a consumer.

Probably too late now, but I noticed in one panel you say "in line" in the context of queueing.

From my experience, the vast majority of New Yorkers wait "on line."

Just curious, are you a native, or were you transplanted?
