There’s no blame here you fool;
at least, none for Hammond.
As for you other fools,
it’s there to spread around.
It’s hard to pity Ned
but we can understand,
when dealing with this guy,
why he works underhand.
How long did that chart take
for a few, on-screen, frames?
What it tells us, though,
is Hammond likes cheap games...

So, if I counted right, the park, so far, has had 525 glitches :shock: Well, at least it's safer then Action Park!

Oh come on, Nedry had a completely unnecessary top of the line SGI workstation.

If this is the way that they treated Nedry in the movie then I feel sort of sorry for him.

Not that much, since Wayne Knight is so good at playing unlikable jerks (though I did love it when Newman got one over on Jerry).

Whoa, judging that tally, the park is going so well, eheh, and the worst has yet to come... :P You must invest for the need of improve, and so, gain more money... :roll: And, neither the computer to manage the park work, they can't do all the work alone for many days, indeed. Poor underpaid system engineer, sounds typical of them... :|

Keeping a tally of all the park's glitches,
We can see Nedry's eyebrow twitches
As he tries to explain what he did with the budget
He has- Hammond says, the financials? Fudge it.

Nothing here seems to work quite right,
And all of this is quite the sight,
So whose fault is it anyways?
Point the blame, or they'll fight for days...
You're a wonderful person! You can do this! Yes, you, person reading this!

I'm sure that is a whole lot less glitches that they had in the original movie they are doing the "Imaginate!" of. :mrgreen:

In his/her defense, it was the '90s. The Matrix didn't make computers cool yet. :P

Just about the only thing making computers cool was Tron, and it was a nerdfest

That is because anything making computers cool ends up being a nerdfest. XD

I never saw "The Matrix" flicks but I would get questions about "The Merovingian" in my history classes.

Never heard of it so I can't comment too much on it but it does sound like a historic event.

It sorta was for me. I fell asleep in the first "Matrix" and in both sequels. Can't wait for "Matrix Four" to come out so I can break my current insomnia streak.

I wish that boring movies could help me sleep but with my luck I will probably end up staying awake throughout it all.
