Jurassic Park

Watching the movie:

Reading the book:

To anyone who hasn’t read the book, it is  genuinely horrifying. It’s great.

You know what I love about Jurassic World? That it makes the "We won't make the same mistakes again- No, this time you're making totally new ones" quote entirely come true. Jurassic Park failed because they put dangerous animals they hardly knew anything about in a theme park setting and thought they could control them- and then, surprised pikachu face, it turned out they couldn't. But the point is, they actually learned from it. In Jurassic World, they knew more about the animals, their wants and needs, their natural behaviour, and designed the park around it. They didn't try to control the animals in situations where they couldn't, and focused on avoiding these situations and keeping everything in a setting where they actually COULD keep them under control. And it worked AMAZINGLY WELL. While Jurassic Park already failed when it was still under construction, Jurassic World opened its gates for the public. Hell, they were able to allow people to go canoeing next to sauropodes without having a single accident. The park was open for a long time and was incredibly successful. And then, they decided to create a new spectacular dinosaur just out of pure spite. They didn't know what kind of animal they were creating, and neither they cared. And then, shocker!, said animal destroyed Jurassic World because no one could predict how it would behave.

Jurassic Park is not a series about the dangers of bioengineering. It is a series about how capitalist greed turns bioengineering into a catastrophe.

The way Hammond says “Its our last chance at redemption” (emphasis added) to Ian Malcolm is so insidious. What does Ian of all people need redemption for in relation to the park? All he did last time was get seriously injured and traumatized for life. But Hammond loves trying to the shift the narrative from something he/InGen did to Ian and the others to something they all did and are responsible for together.

Is there any kind of active Jurassic park/world fandom on here? I feel like there should be and I've seen some good fanart but im not really seeing any blogs that are kinda centered around it like with other fandoms. If that is you, please step forward, i am fixating all alone. This is like the tumblr equivalent of me sending out smoke signals here

So I’m reading Jurassic Park for the first time and … the movie was perfectly casted oh my god. I can’t help but picture them all when I read because when I tell you they captured the energy so well, I mean it.

Also something about Alan and Ellie meeting Ian and “we’re a trio now. Besties forever” the second they meet is iconic. The squad ever actually.

y’all, hear me out..

so after they are done with the whole jurassic world franchise, imagine a different movie created that finally goes by the name of “michael crichton’s: jurassic park”

now, i’m not saying a remake of the original film. no. i’m talking about a full blown novel accurate version of the real: jurassic park.

the novel is not exactly 100% similar to the movie. not at all. this book was far gorier and classified as a horror, whereas the actual movie was viewed by yes, adults. but also younger audiences.

i mean, imagine getting to see a novel accurate version of dennis nedry’s death, or the poor baby who was killed by the compys. even henry wu being eaten alive by velociraptors.

it would be brutal, but damn.. i’d love to see that shit..

How I imagine Gennaro's and Alan's nightly calls about dinosaur food went:

*ring ring phone noises*

Alan: Oh what the hell Mr. Gennaro! It's 3 am! What do you want this time?

Gennaro: Sorry to bother but I have an important question. Would it be bad if a Hadrosaurus was to eat cat food?

Alan: What kind of question ist that? Neither cats nor cat food existed back then, why would that ever matter?

Gennaro: But hypothetically? If I travelled back in time and gave one cat food, would that be okay?

Alan: ?! What are you doing? Why would you travel back in time to give a Hadrosaurus cat food?!

Gennaro: Just... Just answer the question Mr. Grant.

Alan: I suppose no. They aren't cats. And it's CAT food.

Gennaro *covers phone*: Muldoon was right! Mr. Grant said they can't eat cat food!

Muldoon: See? I told you!

Hammond: Feck this!

Li'l Jurassic Park

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of one of my favourite films of all time.

Did y'all realize that Jurassic world camp cretaceous hidden adventure and the first Jurassic park movie has a crazy bonding?

Maybe it's just crazy to me, but Sammy and Donald Gennaro say the exact same thing at one point, for the exact same reason as well!

When John Hammond shows Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm and Donald Gennaro around in that "ride" thing, sort of an "attraction" idk what to call it. They have these safety things on, right? And when the others push them off, Donald says "You can't do that. Can they do that?". And FUN FACT, that is exactly what Sammy says when the campers push those safety things up when they're about to climb down that ladder. She's like "You can't do that. Can they do that?" as well!

This is just something I realized last time I watched Jurassic park 1 (I'm rewatching it again right now, and remembered my discovery lol).

So yeah. I'm probably not the first one to notice that, but I just wanted to share it.

[amelia-mariee]

rewatching jurassic park, i realized that one of my favorite details of the whole movie is all the merchandise. they haven’t completed a full safety inspection of the park yet. hammond and others keep talking about things that they’ll do later. THEY HAVEN’T PUT LOCKING MECHANISMS ON THE CARS. BUT DON’T WORRY. BECAUSE ALL THE MERCH HAS NOT ONLY BEEN DESIGNED, BUT PRODUCED AND PUT ON SHELVES. I LOVE THIS MOVIE
