1. Angelina can do a good job when she put an effort (like with Maleficent). Tomb Raider is a good franchise. Lara Croft is a great character. Maybe she even surpass every final girl we know (except for Sidney). Does the fact the first TB movie failed was because of the director or because it was too early to execute the idea? Also, is there a reason most reboots are better than the original (a paraphrase on Sidney's awesome quote: "You forgot the first rule about reboots - the original should never fuck with it")?

2. Maybe something similar happened to Jurassic Park, with the movie turned out to be better than the novel and the 2nd novel turned out to be better than the first. Make sense, because from what I know, it becomes easier to live to the potential when you get better tools to visualize your vision. Usually I want a story to have a good start, good middle and good ending, but I can respect R&B's graduate improvement. Some comedies can use it, because with most comedies, it goes through decay rather then becoming good in late seasons.

3. The 1996 cinematic version of "the island of Doctor Moreau" there's a dog man named Azazello. His very name indicate something is very wrong with him. When I came to think of it, turns out Azazello is similar to a much worse version of Movieface (both are mercenaries with dog-like mannerism, both betrayed people who once cared about them, both got wasted after outliving their usefulness, both were hate sinks and I wouldn't trust either of them with anything sharper than a pillow. The main different between them, except Mickey is human with dog-like mannerism and Azazello is an actual dog, is that Azazello did things Mickey would never do). We know for sure Movieface planned to kill his boss and take a sole possession on the spotlights from the beginning, but just drew too slow. Does it mean Azazello also planned to kill his respective boss and establish a reign of his own?

4. Babyface's birthfather wasn't mentioned even once in Scre4m. What are the odds Babyface found him when she was 16 and killed him/executed him, or at least planned on doing so?

5. Recently I have a theory that the carnotaurs in JP2 novel were actually heavily mutated chameleons. Aside from changing colors like no dinosaur could do (even the indominus rex used it only briefly and only for teasing the asset security unit soldiers), they terrorized even the raptors and the t-rexes. 2 carnotaurs can terrorize a pack of raptor, or even a juvenile t-rex, but not a full-grown one. They were mutated even for a JP dinosaur, including the venomous dilophosaurus. If I go with the assumptions dinosaurs can dramatically change their environment, I think the most reasonable possibility is that some local pet chameleons escaped and became carnotaurs-like creatures. I also published that theory in TV Tropes:
