Fern Canyon tours highlight Jurassic Park filming site
Jurassic Park is one of the most important films of our time as it speaks on the subject of the responsibility that must go hand in hand with technology. Even just the lines "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" and...
Delaney King (She/Her/Whomst)284"I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it."
William32A great thing about Jurassic Park is the pacing. There's no wasted time, no go-nowhere subplots. It just keeps moving.
Autistic Steve18My favourite line comes from the sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park. John Hammond: Don't worry, I'm not making the same mistakes again. Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, you're making all new ones.
lexandritte.bsky.social17And the vapid small-mindedness of entrepreneurs. "You just made the flea circus again."
Matt "zavaro" Allbright 🌵16I'm surprised there's not a techbro among their mind poisoned ranks who has created a company named InGen yet
@aubergenius216In my company, we refer to this as 'The Ian Malcolm Rule': just because you can, doesn't mean you should. We use this to rein in overambitious and/or ill-fitting dev requests from clients: 'Yes, we *could* do that, but consider these potential unintended consequences. We suggest this instead.'
Darren Richardson (He/Him)4She's right you know 👍😁
Emmanuel Touzot3Excellent thread qui nous rappelle les non moins excellentes réflexions de Jurassic Park Et je rejoins l'avis ici, avec fond + forme, on tient un des films les plus réussis de son époque, et un film très important pour notre époque Un chef d'oeuvre déguisé en blockbuster
The original Jurassic Park still holds up. The story is timeless, the characters are very likable, well acted, and charming, and even the technology looks good 30 years later. It is one the quintessential 90s movies that will always be loved.
MattSkywalkingFox 🏳️🌈💗💛💙14I just feel that sense of wonder and imagination whenever I rewatch the original Jurassic Park movie for how it's such a fun and iconic classic of cinema that brilliantly uses it's sense of tension and it also made me want to study the science of dinosaurs even more.
Fargusno79305I highly agree with this. Jurassic Park's dinosaurs were ahead of its time!
navytrueblue.bsky.social5THE BEST SCENE IS WHEN 'NEWMAN' GETS HIS. (SEINFELD FANS WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT)
I've had the chance to ask several scientists in relevant fields variants of the "would you have gone to Jurassic Park" question and so far no one has ever said "No"
Gungan Henderson13“It’s incredibly unethical, but also dinosaurs”
WalkingTaako🏴☠️🏳️🪣💩10I think even if you gave the caveat that they would be eaten by a dinosaur the answer would be the same.
Dr Nathan Kilah7Fully funded research for three years? Sign me up!!! Most people don't appreciate the overheads of universities. Fully funded is huge.
dustwords.bsky.social5safe to visit if you’re not greedy imo
Jaina4If Jurassic Park was real and there was a 50/50 chance of the dinosaurs escaping and eating me, I'd probably still go.
chaseacross☂️🇯🇴🇺🇦4How deep into tenure were they? I know some grad students that would bury a Bowie knife in a stranger's chest TO THE HILT.
Jurassic Park. Also, not a favorite per se, but it's amazing that Shrek was adapted from children's picture book with very few words.
moose14No, Jurassic Park the book is absolutely killer. Very much a case of they’re both excellent. It’s true you don’t get to *see* dinosaurs in the book, but it really gets down a lot more in depth into the hubris it takes to try to tame such complex systems as life itself
Just reread JP and 100% agree. Book is pretty trash.
If Steven Spielberg did a remastered Jurassic Park where all the dinosaurs were replaced by maximally accurate modern reconstructions, would that make the movie better?
Кразновиян Коммандо14I would think it would be funny to see ankle biter velociraptors stacked on each others shoulders to open a door. That might be scarier
The Almighty Tallest8The world isn't ready for feathered T-Rex
Ziggy, Tabletop Taurus4They'd have to use Utahraptors instead and them opening doors might be seen as a commentary about Mormons.
Lucy Kwiatek2Honestly, no. It's not that it would be bad, it just wouldn't be the original thing, which is already in dialogue with the then-cutting-edge understandings which were coming to the fore by the 80s and 90s.
En Buen Ora1would they still act like dinosaur-shaped monsters or would they act like real animals
Salthegeek1Well, they would look like giant evil chickens sooo maybe.
