Wojo 2,453 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 No, they were able to kill him because an alligator ate his hand. Tournament down in Florida. Hooked his ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut him down on his prime. It got him, but he tore one of that bastard's eyes out though. Look at that.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 I went to the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam this weekend to see Jurassic Park on the big screen. It was fantastic seeing this movie projected in glorious 2D 35mm. Sure, there was dirt and there were scratches and the reel changes were quite noticeable. But it was fantastic to see one of my favorite films of all time projected in pretty much the same way it was projected when it was first released. I love the cinematography, the sound design, the score, the effects. Everything about this film is great and I had a fantastic time seeing it this way. Good times at the cinema.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It may not be up there with Jaws, E.T. or Raiders when it comes to Spielberg greats. But it is a fantastically well made and fun adventure film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 I just love Jurassic Park. And sure, apart from all the great stuff I mentioned before, there's a few flaws as well. Yet every time one of them pops up, I realize again and again that I don't care. The plot holes, the rampant continuity errors, the paper-thin characters. It doesn't matter when your film's sense of fun and adventure is this strong and its craftsmanship so in tune with it. It's a movie directed with extreme confidence, despite its creators exploring completely new and game-changing technology. It's the definition of movie magic.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Jurrasic Park, and Journey To The Island specifically, is probably responsible for creating more Williams fans then any other score with the possible exception of Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It announces both the movie's sense of fun and adventure and underlines the promise of a fantastic theme park given in the movie itself (a promise that is then, of course, mercilessly broken).

publicist 4,643 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's still a lame Disney movie with two great suspense/monster scenes. I was expecting much more hard-edged stuff with 15 (but then i read the novel first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it twice, before the film and a few years later (both times in German). I want to read it again at some point. From my recollection, it's very much worth reading - and very much undermined by the film, which leaves out most of the plot, most of the logic and most of what the book is about. I don't even think the film is well made, save for a few key sequences. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The novel I read after the movie, I was probably 16. It was just okay. Like Jaws it worked better as a movie which cut out all of the needless chaff. The scoring approach to Journey to the Island is utter perfection. It was an absolutely thrilling and magical sequence in the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Arrow ROLLERBALL, the other day: beautiful transfer! Honestly, it's worth buying an Arrow just for the cheesey, cheap 'n' cheerful animated logo. Arrow are just behind Eureka, and BFI in quality merchandise. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
