Re: The Lost World
Don't worry, we come up with a way better idea at the end.

The Japanese call him Peetaa Sutohmayah, so, I think there's people to complain about before coming after America.
...which is probably *more* accurate, especially since Swedish accenting is much more similar to Japanese accenting, in that there is not a big phat "emphasis" on some syllable like English speakers insists to append to our names/words, all three syllables in "Stor-ma-re" has the same emphasis, with a very light additional emphasis to "Stor"... but light, damnit, light. [Also, the "R" lives in the last syllable, so for Zarban style (spoken in "English" but pronounced with correctl syllable splittage and emphasis), it would actually be more like "STORE-may-re"]
This is actually the main reason I'm known as Zap - the English speakers complete inability to properly pronounce my name (or even spell it, since it contains an "å"). It's that combined with the "å" not surviving original 7 bit email the way it was back in the 80's I never actually use my "real" name anywhere, and nobody but my mom actually uses it

Re: The Lost World
What made the first movie fascinating to me as a kid was the science. The movie was a springboard into the books. The ideas in Crichton's novels had legs and were a point of intellectual/scientific reference for me up to the age of around 17. Sad as it is, I got a lot out of it. The meaty ideas are hardly touched on in the JP1.
Ideally, JP2 would have been a reboot with directing and screenwriting reigns handed over to, of all people, Christopher Nolan. Not much of a fan but he is perfectly equipped to craft a Jurassic Park sequel I would like to see. Lofty theory and debate and moments of dinosaurific consequence.
Since that will never happen, Spielberg's King Kong cum Dinosaurs works well enough.
