#Jurassic Park

[laneofpennies]

While Jurassic Park is trending I wanna admit that I am fully onboard for a reboot of that franchise but ONLY if it’s horror and based more on the books and includes the fucked up shit John Hammond did and what becomes of him.

Since Jurassic Park is trending, I might as well mention that the first time I saw the movie, we had won four tickets (via radio call-in) to go see it the day before release in 1993. Now, back then it made you feel a bit privileged, getting to see a movie before it was officially released... so it was a whole event.

All the people who had won tickets (about a hundred of us all together) gathered together in this tiny little screening room at the Tower Theaters in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The screen was small, but that was okay, because none of us was really far away from it... and plus we got free popcorn and soda. Oh, and boxes of Jurassic Park themed "Raptor Bites" candy. That was nice!

Anyway, before the movie started this guy stepped to the front of the room to tell us that we were basically test subjects for the theater's brand new sound system. They had just had it installed, and so far only the people who worked there had experienced it, and it was incredibly deep and rich, to the point where it might even be a bit shocking. We all kinda laughed, then the movie started... and I kid you not, the first big rumble shook the seats so much that some people dropped their popcorn and a few actually stood up. And everyone was looking around like, what the hell? because it sounded like we were literally inside a speaker...

To this day, that is the most immersive movie experience I have ever had. The only other time I went to that theater was when Deadpool came out, and though I will say that the sound system was still as good as the first time, nothing can compare to the feeling I got when my seat shook along with the water in the cup when the T-Rex was drawing near...

hopping onto tumblr.com and seeing two of my fixations trending is always a pleasant surprise, but seeing Hannibal and Jurassic Park together is giving me whiplash

The head of Knight Security is a young man, surely not a day older than twenty. The most noteworthy thing about him is the scar on his face, barely-hidden behind large, mirrored sunglasses, but his little ‘About Me!’ blurb on their website had mentioned growing up in Gotham. More importantly, Muldoon doesn’t give a damn. As long as he and his crew can do their jobs on Isla Sorna, he can return to Isla Nublar, where the threat of weekend tourists is growing and where there’s been…incidents.

“Todd Peters,” the young man says curtly, thrusting a scarred hand out. Muldoon catches it, appreciates the firm grip (and the callouses from guns, very good), and nods.

“Robert Muldoon. Mr. Hammond couldn’t be here today and besides, I’m the one you’ll be answering to.”

There’s seven of them, in total. Not a big team. But enough, Hammond says and Muldoon hopes, to handle the day-to-day here. Hammond thinks this is ridiculous already, but he’s not the one who had to order the chopper in for that mangled worker last Tuesday. He’s far too optimistic. Besides, their credentials are decent enough, and Muldoon will allow you don’t need an army to handle a normal outbreak.

Even if it would make him feel better. Though he can start to relax, maybe, now that Sorkin’s little pets have been removed.

“You’ve e-mailed with McLovin, then.” He jerks his head towards a tall, pale man with flaming red hair pulled into a messy ponytail. Muldoon adjusts his hat and wishes he had his hip flask.

“Yes.”

McLovin steps closer and they shake hands. Stronger than he looks, Muldoon notes. Also calloused, which he wouldn’t have thought, with glasses that thick. Good sign.

“You said this was a zoo?”

“Behind the scenes of one,” Muldoon corrects. “And more of a wildlife preserve, but your duties aren’t contingent on that. Come with me.”

“What exactly do you want from us, Mr. Muldoon?”

“Mr. Hammond will be down later to explain the finer points, but largely you’ll be in charge of moving the residents here from building to building and answering any distress beacons from individuals who may be lost in the jungle.” Or worse. “We have cameras throughout the compound and enclosures that you will watch, and it will be your job as well to make sure the electric fences are on at all times.”

“Christ,” the big guy at the back rumbles, “what kinda zoo is this?”

Muldoon just laughs.

“You’ll see eventually,” he says. “For now, let’s get you boys set up.”

It makes me happy when they listen

[emptyjunior]

I think having a baby niece is great cause my brother will send me just a constant stream of messages that sound indistinguishable from how someone at Jurassic park would text if they were being hunted by the raptor

jurassic park has a good philosophical message but unfortunately the only thing i ever take away from watching jurassic park is "god i wish i could go to jurassic park." like yeah it's a blatantly obvious don't create the torment nexus scenario, but this torment nexus has DINOSAURS.

[prideprejudce]

there should be a sub genre of books that were originally written to comment on the evils of capitalism and how greed and wealth corrupts society as a whole and how those popular books were subsequently made into hollywood movies and were marketed in a way in order to mass produce as much merchandise as possible so the companies behind the movies can make as much money as possible and thus completely erasing the original meaning of that story while also unintentionally proving the point of the original novels themes

Jurassic Park (1993)

[wayward-delver]

Prehistoric Planet finally gives us the True Rival to the Tyrant Lizard King and it's NOT a Dinosaur.
