A good, laid back, fun practice today, although my dark team didn't do too well, losing the eventual game to 3, we did try some new things, some worked, some didn't. But I had fun. And then the dark team had some redemption by winning the games of Schtick. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. And then I went to see JPIII. Roar. No plot. People on island, must survive. Fairly simple. My complaints? Not enough people dying. There just needs to be more carnage, more people ripped to shreds. The Spino vs. T-Rex was a pretty good battle, but then, who cares? Get a safari group out, with guns like those tested by the Mercs early in the movie, and maybe Range Rovers, or whatever company pays enough to be in the film, and have them chase down dinos. Throw in a predator on the same island. Find out what happens when Raptors meet a lion pride out on a Savanna. But I did enjoy the Aviary, which finally appeared in film form. I didn't enjoy the River scene as much, as the idea of a T-Rex looking like an alligator swimming through the water beats some wimpy sail like fin. But overall, a pretty good ride.
