Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Aside from these movies, are there really any other big name, big budget dinosaur movies along the same lines? I really think that these movies end up making bank, despite being not so great, simply because there's pretty much no real competition. If there were some actual GOOD and kid appropriate dino movies, things might be a little less rosy for the JP/JW franchise or they might actually have some impetus to deliver something good.

Granted, the last movie was, in my opinion, a slight improvement over the previous chapters.

Heck, there are almost no more big name, big budget movies that aren't already existing IP.

For a depressing read, scroll through box office mojo top movies for the last dozen years. It's almost all remakes, sequels etc.

So for a studio, why bother trying to make something new when people will watch the latest Jurrasic money making slop no matter what?
