Jurassic World- Dominion – Here's What The Dinosaur Spit Was Made Of

One of the most memorable moments of the entire Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise is when Nedry (Wayne Knight) is trying to escape the park and island after stealing dino DNA, and he comes across a dilophosaurus, who spits all over him and eventually eats him. Well, everyone’s favorite spitting dinosaur is back, and in the home release of Jurassic World: Dominion, we finally learn how they make the spit.

In one of the special features, titled “Spit Take: The Return of the Dilophosaurus,” the cast and crew discuss the iconic spitting dino, which includes some behind the scenes on what the spit is made from and how they shoot it onto the cast.

“This is our main spit substance, a material called methylcellulose, which is a food thickening agent, which they use in milkshakes at your local burger joint,” said Chris Clarke, the special effects senior technician on Dominion. “I noticed in the original film, [the dilophosaurus] first spits, and [Nedry] comes and grabs his shirt, and it all strings up. So there’s a substance we use in the film industry a lot called ‘ultra slime.’ And any time you see anything stringy in a film, it’s this stuff. It just looks like mucus.”

Clarke showed off how the dilophosaurus spit is delivered–which you can see a screenshot of above–and it’s a hand-powered air pump connected to a long metal tube. Of course, during the scenes when someone is getting “spit on,” Clarke is just off camera with his contraption, squirting people in the face.

BioShock infinite- Burial at Sea – Episode 2 Review

In life, we make connections with others. We protect the ones we love as they protect us, creating ties that bind us for life. We can’t forcibly create those bonds, and once created, they are not easily broken.

Burial at Sea – Episode 2 is about those kinds of personal connections. Like the disappointing first episode, this concluding chapter ties the Columbia of BioShock Infinite to the Rapture of BioShock and BioShock 2–yet it begins in neither city. Instead, you are in Paris, though it is not a Paris that ever was, but rather a Paris so perfect, so ideal, that even the most imaginative daydreamers could not have thought up a place of such sunny beauty. And no longer are you Infinite protagonist Booker DeWitt, but instead his talented ward Elizabeth, who had long dreamed of visiting La Ville-Lumière. Your initial stroll along the city’s sublime terraces takes you past smiling couples and friendly onlookers, many of whom know you by name. This glorious opening recalls your …

John Wick- Chapter 4 Trailer Revealed At CinemaCon

While the next John Wick entry, simply titled John Wick: Chapter 4, won’t hit theaters until next March, star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski gave a first look at the movie during CinemaCon. Deadline had a brief description along with the speeches made by the creative team.

The trailer opens with John Wick training in a gym in Japan. We see Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King enter asking if John is ready. Wick replies with a chilled “yeah.”

In a swirl of violence, we can hear Ian McShane’s Winston offering words of solace to John. “I want you to find peace, John,” he says. “The only path this leads to is death.”

Lionsgate Chairman Joe Drake introduced Reeves and Stahelski on stage, praising the action. “Chad, as you might know, was a stuntman first. It’s rare that people go from driving off cliffs to sitting in the director’s chair,” he said. “Usually, it’s the other way around.”

Drake continued with how he thought the franchise reinvented the action g…
