I can't stop watching the trailer for 'Jurassic World'

November 26, 2014

This post was authored by Managing Editor of GlennBeck.com, Wilson Garrett (Hi!). Other than the fact that I run the website, this post has very little to do with Glenn. But maybe he watched it and thought it looked as cool as I did.

Ok, I have a confession to make - I can't stop watching the trailer for the new Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic World. And I must not be the only one - it's already amassed close to 5 million views on YouTube in 9 hours (probably more by the time you read this).

Why? Three reasons:

1) The Park. Jurassic Park was one of the formative movies of my childhood. The sheer wonder of seeing the dinosaurs come to life may seem passé in an age where CGI can bring giant robots, mutated turtles, and alien armies to a summer blockbuster, but when I saw the original in theaters in 1993 it was mesmerizing. I had never seen anything like it. But even in that movie, you never got to see the park open. The chaos ended with everyone agreeing that "Hey, a jungle filled with genetically engineered giant lizards might be a really, really bad idea for a theme park." Thankfully, twenty-one years shows the promise of the concept of a dinosaur theme park revealed.

2) Chris Pratt. He's awesome. Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy? It was one of the best movies of the summer, and Chris Pratt's ability to mix comedy and action was a big reason the movie was one of the highest-grossing films of 2014.

3) A genetically-modified dinosaur. Seriously.

Could it end up being terrible? Sure. Movies rarely live up to the promise of the trailer. But one can hope, right?

Glenn Beck: THIS is why Biden nominated Merrick Garland as attorney general

Many will remember President Biden's attorney general nominee Merrick Garland as the man Republicans refused to hold a Supreme Court confirmation hearing for back in 2016. So, was Garland's AG nomination just meant to be a slap in the face to Republicans? Glenn Beck thinks there's a lot more to it.

Given how focused Democrats are on rooting out vaguely defined "right-wing extremism," Garland's work in supervising the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing suspects gives us a hint, Glenn suggested on radio this week. He said he's "all for" stopping dangerous extremists, but couldn't help noticing how Garland isn't talking about any of the destruction that happened over the summer.

"I am all for justice. I am all for making sure we catch the bad guys, as long as the bad guys are not defined to be on only one side," Glenn said. "Merrick Garland said [Monday] that there was no comparison between what happened on January 6th and what happened over the summer. That is because the Washington elites see themselves as better than somebody who owns a taco stand. I don't. The Constitution doesn't. They are the same crime."

CONTROL FREAKS: The Great Reset Overlords Who Will Ru(i)n Your Life

"All rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference," said holy anointed billionaire Bill Gates. Green activism has been around for decades. But what used to be wacky has now worked its way into the world's power structure. You must believe the science. You cannot question the science.

The Texas power failure provided America with a disturbing and deadly preview of the Great Reset. But Bill Gates, AOC, and other Democrats say this only proves we need to enforce MORE green policies.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn Beck reveals how deep the Great Reset tentacles reach into government and business to strangle freedom and their efforts to control every aspect of your private life.

Why are we letting criminals out of prison while putting pastors in? Pastor James Coates of Canada's GraceLife Church was recently fined, arrested, and put in maximum security prison for violating lockdown rules.

Rebel News founder Ezra Levant joined Glenn Beck on "Glenn TV" to discuss the story. Ezra said he's noticed a trend of government officials "picking on" Christians as "lockdownism" becomes almost a new kind of religion, and warned this might be just the start of more persecution to come.
