raptor island

[frank bliss <frank@blissnet.com>]

Because of the interest on the list tonight, I took the time to tune 
into the SciFi channel.

The SciFi movie "Raptor Island" was perhaps the worst movie I have ever 
watched.    Don't bother.  There wasn't a saurapod on the island for 
the "raptors to eat.  Apparently they evolved by some mutation event 
caused by some plutonium crashed on the island 40 years earlier.  They 
were eating only each other for food.  The law of diminishing returns 
and efficiency of digestion would have taken care of that population 
PDQ.  All top end predators with nothing other than each other to eat 
had no food web below them.  The Seal Teams .30 cal bullets barely had 
an effect (unlikely) and the team never used a hand signal.  The whole 
premise was a waste and the CGI was awful. This took me back to the 
days of dinosaurs and cavemen in the same picture.
The rest of it was worse.
