It served up exactly what you'd expect from the movie franchise that somehow managed to be even worse than its source material. I'm talking, of course, about the fact that it got the final honest trailer it so richly deserves.

Today approached the attorney for one of those women for a statement, and it was given under the express condition that it be used in its entirety. They did not. So, we will.

Or, rather, parks. There's more than one "world" owned and operated by Delos Corporation, all of them featuring appropriate host animals. In the British Raj setting this week, we saw peacocks, elephants, and a tiger. All as man-made as the human hosts.
