exquisite tea posted:There are some weird things from Jurassic Park that I thought I remembered being present for the cinematic release, but not the VHS version. One of them was a short scene of Ellie actually grabbing the leaf that she has in the Brachiosaur reveal as the jeeps are going through the jungle. I could have sworn up and down that I saw this in theaters, but in retrospect, I think I probably imagined it from a production still I saw when I was seven or whatever. Another scene that I thought was edited down for VHS (but probably just imagined by me) was the first T-Rex reveal. I thought I remembered a couple additional seconds of the Rex chowing down on the flipped explorer. I probably would have forgotten all about this by now if not for the fact that one of my friends from grade school mentioned the same exact scenes I just described.

Hahaha Grant's badass one-liner after dropping a skeleton on a raptor is tremendously naff. So glad that was cut.

Ellie grabbing the leaf is definitely a thing that was cut out. You can see it about 35 seconds into the trailer for the movie. E: Oh, hello another page. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Apr 3, 2015 |

My thing in rewatching Jurassic Park is when they are on the Mr. DNA ride and going by the lab and Gennaro was trying to ask Hammond if the workers were automated robots but said "Auto-erotica" instead

exquisite tea posted:I thought I remembered a couple additional seconds of the Rex chowing down on the flipped explorer. I remember this. It's from this little kid book of the movie for Jurassic Park with pictures(at least that is where I remember it). There's some pictures of the t-rex chomping on the tire that don't appear to be in the film. Also I swear I remember seeing some "making of" thing for JP where it shows the original storyboard for the explorer attack scene calls for a point where the t-rex drags the explorer down the road a ways. I've always assumed they just couldn't get that shot to work, cut it, and that explains why there is a huge drop off on the fence side instead of it being ground level.

I think it was Life, the TV show with Damien Lewis that had some evidence hidden inside a Barbasol can.

As a kid I never understood what Hammond says to grant in his trailer while he hoists himself up on the counter. In fact they whole scene was so confusing to me as I never understood how he even got in the trailer in the first place. I had a phonemic memorization of the dialogue in the scene but I couldn't translate them into words I knew. The accent didn't help.

Choteau is the closest town with an airport. That is what I remember from the book anyway.

When the helicopter lands at the dig site is it picking up Hammond or dropping him off?

Dropping him. Remember that the paleontologists have to cover up their dig first and stuff, which gives Hammond plenty of time to invite himself into their camper, and open up their champagne. Going back to earlier discussion about the park, it is telling that Hammond's most cherished memory was that flea circus... that worked without the fleas, just with tiny engines. He believes that any park can function, if it weren't for that pesky human factor. That's why he's so insistent on everything being automated: the cars, the fences, the doors. When he says he spared no expense, he means he spared no expense on machines (and ice cream!). The whole weekend was not only to convince the lawyer and scientists, but also to prove that his park could function with just the bare minimum of personnel. Of course, we saw how that went. That's why the park as presented in the movie couldn't work: the attraction fences are bare-bones, because more steel and concrete would get in the way of people getting a good look at the dinos. Contrast this with the raptor enclosure, where you just can't see them. Regular zoos aren't in the same league, because at least with normal animals we have thousands of years of knowing about their behaviors and limitations, and yes, trial and error. In Jurassic Park, it's probably been just a couple of years since they got their first dinosaur, and like Malcolm said, they haven't stopped to understand them, just rushed to put them in an attraction they could make money out of.

I seem to remember seeing it in the movie too but who knows. quote:According to some people’s accounts, a scene was shown in the theatrical release where the Tyrannosaur crashes into the visitor center’s wall though this has never seen on the subsequent DVD releases. Any goons who saw the original release care to confirm or deny this? It seems pretty weird to me.

I saw it in cinemas at the tender age of 8 and don't remember the Rex appearing before it grabs the raptor. I don't know how you'd show it breaking into the building without completely destroying the tension of that scene.

ruby idiot railed posted:AIUI dialogue changes during filming get rolled up into the shooting script so they are literally on the same page to work off every day. Fair enough, but it's not exactly just a change to dialog is it. I mean, the article says Malcolm was going to cowardly run away and that was it? But then it changed to Malcolm grabbing a flare, imitating Grant, getting chased/engaged by the Rex, nearly getting eaten, and also getting injured somewhat seriously (he is effectively out of action the rest of the film). So to say a change that drastic happened casually with a quick rewrite of dialog is a bit specious. If you think about it, what if Malcolm hadn't grabbed the flare and instead ran away as the article suggested? Would the Rex have noticed him? Would he have gotten injured? Would he have had a more active role in the rest of the film? Would he have gotten separated from everyone else? It's a big change to make, especially for the actor themselves to suggest it. That's why I'm sort of skeptical on the whole thing. Now if that article said it was Goldblum's idea for the "when you gotta go" toilet joke, that would be easy to believe.

Xenomrph posted:In the grand scheme of product placement, that Barbasol can is pretty iconic. Pretty much no one born before like 1985 can look at a Barbasol can and not immediately associate it with Jurassic Park. It's no poo poo why I first started using it. It's my brand of choice now out of habit and cost, but I saw it at the PX, thought "Jurassic Park!", bought it, and have stuck with it since. Shaving cream is shaving cream unless you have sensitive skin so I have no regrets

That's why I'm sort of skeptical on the whole thing. In the novel, the rex approached the car and he bolted - no attempt to distract it with a flare or anything. The rex immediately spotted him, grabbed him around the torso, and flung him. The end result was essentially the same; it put him out of action for the rest of the book with severe injuries. It's actually a relatively minor change, since they only have to show him waving the flare and throwing it before the rex attacks him.

Didn't Malcom die in the novel or something according to Crichton only to get recton in the sequel?.

Holy poo poo the transfer on the 3D blu ray. They need to stop putting out the 2011 transfer and push a 2D version of JP1 with the new color timing. It's funny that comments elsewhere complain that it's hollywood doing the "teal and orange" thing to the color when this is what the loving movie looked like in theaters(or as close to it as I've ever seen).

This thread got me to start rereading the original novel, and man is it rough. A 3 step opening, which could work except they are boring as poo poo. Extremely heavy on telling rather than showing. Race elements are such that I can't yet tell if this is intentional, in the "3rd world/feminist empowerment" read that people apply to the film, or just the clunky result of when it was written. Plot elements and infodumps making no sense (why does the EPA hear from OTT that Ingen is buying supercomputers? Shouldn't that go to the FBI? And why does the EPA give a poo poo? Is this just old early 80s EPA bureaucracy fears?). Books is a lot rougher than I remembered so far

Grant killing Raptors with syringes of neurotoxin was pretty badass though.

I still enjoy the books as science thrillers about "consumer biologicals" run amok. There's a lot of technical world-building that can be jarring if you're expecting the action-adventure tone of the films. Besides, Hammond has a tiny finger-biting elephant.

I was randomly watching Catfish or something on MTV while sick on the couch because of being too lazy to turn the channel and saw the "extended clip" of Jurassic World that shows how Chris Pratt is in charge of wrangling the new ultra dinosaur or whatever because he's friends with the raptors. Why does that make me want to see this movie so much?

There's no reason that two performers that charismatic should have such a banal and trite scene together. Also, it's just really, really forced. She's the straight-laced businesswoman with a type-A personality! He's the wacky, carefree romantic! It would slot perfectly in the middle of a movie starring Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl.
