What I learned from watching A Sound of Thunder…


- If temperature sky rockets, start burning stuff
- I you really want to not wake up a mandrillosaur, light a flashlight straight in its face (I used to leave the light on in the hall-way as well; reckon it’s the same thing, calms it down)
- Time machines are really not that hard to make. A hard drive, a particle projector and basic trekking gear and you’re up and running in less than five minutes

Pitch in. What did you learn from this fountain of enlightenment?

- Killer beetles only live in expensive high-rise condos.
- If being chased by killer beetles stand on a bag of fertilizer.
- If beetles continue to attack blow up apartment/jump out 12th storey window, (don't worry about the drop.)
- Primates must love lizard sex.
- If civilization collapses no one will drive their car, even if it still works.
- Saying "I'm his cousin" will get you into any locked apartment.
- Not being shot will make a dinosaur not get stuck in tar.
- It's really easy to step on a butterfly.
- You can jump back through time-ripples until someone tells you that you can't.

That was hilarious. I'm watching this movie now, and had to pause it to complete my laughing fit.

I have to agree with what someone said, that Time Travel just isn't possible. I say paradoxes make it impossible. You can't go back to the past, because the past is set in stone, the future doesn't exist yet and the present is predetermined. Still makes for either funny renditions of time travel movies or good thought provoking stories.

Haha I cracked up when they tried standing on the bag of fertilizer... sooo depressing that they thought that would work!

Made me LOL

-Time looks like a tsunami and is powerful enough to knock you back about 20 ft.
-Reptiles and primates can produce offspring.
-Evolution only produces one batch of killer beetles and they randomly spawn in one person's house.

Until on the Day when He says Rise only the flat-iron would come floating up.

True, but stories should have some kind of internal logic, unless they are screwball comedies, like "Airplane."

"Oh, pardon me stewardess....I speak jive..."

That line, along with perhaps the entire movie, would not survive today.

. If you change the past, everything will be different, but your memory will remain intact.
. Time bubbles only affects living things. Everything that has been invented by people which never existed in the first place remains intact.
. Nonetheless, people who died in the remade future will come back in the re-remade future which is just like it was before, except that this time, there are no reverse time waves and no-ones remembers a thing, but… Ah, sod it ! Mee head hurts !
. Time waves are, like, kewl. I'm sure you can surf on that mutha. Cowabunga !

1) That we will evolve into blue catfish creatures with two legs.

2) Apes and dinosaurs can successfully have offspring.

3) Within 65 million years, only 4 species of animals exists (including fish humans).

4) Plants are posinonus and cause people to hallucinate.

5) Killing a moth/butterfly will alter the entire world's environment.

6) How in the hell did mandrills and dinosaurs become one?

reply

I learned one thing: If the entire history of evolution has gone to sh!t and mankind is about to be erased from existence with one sweeping time wave, then Edward Burns still has time to take of his shirt.

- that $80 mil don't buy squat if you are basically a talentless moron.
- that this film was a tax shelter for some Euro drug lord because I don't see's no $80 mil up on the screen.
- that Heike Makatsch is pretty freakin hot....aside from that 20's Germany hairdon't.
- that fish apparently aren't considered animals "born in the wild".
- that Timecop was actually a decent Peter Hyams film.
- that if you alter the past the present doesn't change all at once...for...some...reason.
- that Outland was actually a factually solid Peter Hyams film in comparison.
- that amphibihumans are cute as the dickens...and will soon be eaten by Baboonasarus' & Giant Bats!
- that if this had been on the Sci-Fi channel and had starred Bruce Campbell it might have been fun.
- that even though they keep going back to the same spot, at the same time to kill the same dino over & over again they somehow never meet themselves...except when the plot needs them to do so.
- that when confronted by the tenant board of your building you should poke a shotgun in their faces.
- that scientists studied in time travel & causality theory own shotguns.

Haha, I remember myself thinking the exact same thing as I endured the 2nd half of the movie.

reply

I rather verified than learned one thing: When you think that no movie can be that bad someone makes one that is worst.

reply

- If covered in man-eating beetles. Ring the doorbell of the nearest apartment. When said apartment's inhabitants open the door, let your beetle-covered, invisible carcass fall over.
- When Ben Kingsley won't come back for reshoots, just throw a rubber body replica in the water and say "he's dead."
- If you kill a butterfly just seconds before a volcano was going to destroy it, oh boy...watch out.
