For those of us who were in at least the right sections of IT back in the '90s and early 2000s: we knew a Nedry. They were convinced that they were spectacularly good and whatever scheme they came up with was somehow better. Often they had been right on occasion in the past.

Oh yeah, I definitely believe people like him existed all around. It just seems like he's not the guy you hire to run the systems at Jurassic Park.

Hammond was trying to cheap out on personnel (even as they "spared no expense" on technological toys) both because they were overstretched on budget and he was terrified of security leaks

True, but that makes Nedry a worse hire; he's really clearly untrustworthy and unreliable. Maybe you just have to imagine that Wayne Knight oversold it a little bit.

It doesn't have to be by much, but he's better as a disgruntled expert than the kind of hot-mess we see running to the vending machine and fucking around with screensavers. Wait, who restocked those vending machines?

Jurassic Park is currently extremely understaffed in the movie because of the storm, remember It's a whole clusterfuck situation where they sent everyone home but then they couldn't reschedule the big shakedown cruise being demanded by Genarro on behalf of the nervous investors

Yeah, good point. There's something here where hurricane forecasting has gotten a lot better since the early 90s, and it would probably have avoided disaster.

I guess the 'investors' are a key detail too, because Hammond isn't self-financing this whole thing. But good lord, so many people are in on it by the point the movie starts, the fact that it's still secret starts to strain credulity as much as the dinosaurs.

"there's a secret island in the caribbean where they cloned dinosaurs for an amusement park" is the sort of thing that even if it were actually true would show up late at night on the ripley's ripoff that came on after ripley's

Yeah and we’d be joking about it constantly. It’s like Quibi and the Fyre Fesrical had a baby

The thing in Jurassic World where the dude has an "original Jurassic Park T-shirt" that she yells at him for being in bad taste was a pretty good joke
