Laura Dern was 25 during the filming of Jurassic Park. Also I don't get the notion that the dinosaurs were super-threatening specifically because everyone was weedy scientists - they make a big thing out of Grant being a rugged outdoors type who could happily dig for bones in Montana for the rest of his days. He's no M16-toting special ops badass, but he's tough, smart and resourceful and is repeatedly shown as such before and after poo poo goes down.

And then there were the toys which made all of them into gun toting badasses. Even Nedry.

Eh, I would have guessed she was in her early 30's but if a person is in good shape it can be hard to tell the difference between 25 and 35. She's also got one of those faces that makes her look a little older than she really is.

Party Boat posted:Laura Dern was 25 during the filming of Jurassic Park. I seem to remember a lot of people in the book being buff. Ellie was buff and toned from digging all day, the lawyer was buff for some reason, and Grant was a regular Biff Hardchest who once walked back two days to his campsite with a broken leg.

Just finished watching Jurassic Park for the first time in years, I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear it's still a really loving good film. One thing I never really thought about is how late in the film the raptors properly arrive. They're kept in our minds from the very beginning but aren't fully shown until the final half hour (and holy poo poo that last act of the film has so much momentum). I know Ebert criticised JP for showing the dinosaurs too soon but I think he's wrong - all of the killer dinosaurs are teased throughout the first half of the film, and the herbivores that are shown off have a completely different purpose (grandeur and wonder vs suspense and horror). I also just noticed a picture of J Robert Oppenheimer on Nedry's desk, with post-it notes showing a mushroom cloud doodle and "beginning of baby boom". I guess it fits given Nedry is deliberately trying to bring about a baby (dinosaur) boom via destructive methods?

The build up of a the baddies is great in JP. Even though the T-Rex is featured in the amazing Explorer rain scene and jeep chase, both occur at night and are comprised of quick shots in the dark/rain. The finale, in a brightly illuminated building, gives us this amazing shot of the Rex and raptors, and it's just perfect. One of the best cinematic experiences of my childhood, right there.

He just wanted to get rich, he didn't care at all about the dinos. I think the analogy is more broad; powerful new technology leads to unexpected demographic shifts.

I love how this perfectly nails the "redditor with a thesaurus trying to sound like an intellectual" vibe. Right down to the totally hosed grammar. Are there more fake park reviews on the site? They seem to be updating it pretty often. edit: The JP1 kid looks like a real life Venture Bros. villain.

First I think about the little raptor from the novel, squeaking and jumping around  Then I hear Muldoon: "Lethal at 8 months, and I do mean lethal"

Comparing it with stuff from the Star Wars prequels I mean, they could've used models. Also, random side note, the Mosasaur on the website is the right size.

Or, if it's going to look like something out of a video game, you could just leave it out of the movie. "Welp, this will look pretty fake because we can't really film any part of it practically, oh well! It is what it is!"

I saw JP1 maybe 8 or 9 times in the theaters, largely because of the effects. I can't imagine a movie in 2015 where I'm so amazed by the special effects that I go and see it that many times. This has more to do with saturation than anything though. Now you have to build a solid movie around the monsters, with suspense and wonder and all that good stuff. It's really hard to impress people with CG setpieces like the mosasaur these days. That said, Ankylosaurus tennis is going to happen. The scene won't serve any real purpose in the movie, but it will be dinosaurs whacking a sphere back and forth with their club tails as children scream because this is an idea some dudes in a boardroom had.

I think it would be more interesting if Chris Pratt actually starts off totally in favor of the idea of dino-mutant rex. It's kind of hypocritical of him to start making GBS threads on it right off the bat considering that he's the one trying to become pack leader to a bunch of Jurassic-era Hannibal Lecters.

I don't really know if this has been discussed, but The TRex that is (most assuredly) going to appear in the movie is the same one from the first movie. That makes me geek out a bit just for that. VV I would imagine they cleared out safe zones, like the visitors center and dock, and either repaired and reactivated what fences they could. Then they could just clear area by area, going in wider circles of control, until only the north side of the island remained. Just Offscreen fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Did they build the T-Rex's viewing area AROUND its nest? DId they tranq all the large carnivores and just keep them asleep while they built? How did they build anything with raptors running free?
