Fern Canyon tours highlight Jurassic Park filming site
the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding
samuel mehr353the grant never even materializes! (also realistic)
Ben Zelevansky62Even more realistic is that a rich guy sets up his own island and stocks it with wall-to-wall predators
Nic15I just always assumed that based on 2/3 he did end up getting funding, although it was probably a settlement or something. I don't think that's canonical or something, it just feels like the kind of thing they'd do for liability purposes
Richard Easther6To an island run by a billionaire.
Squirreled cup3He's not a stranger, he's already funding them, he says he's been giving them 50k a year (in 1993)
FakeKraid2As always, the most important quality for any scheming mastermind is to possess tremendous amounts of wealth with which to bribe or tempt those you need to manipulate
Dan Hon16drs. grant and sattler would've met with epstein?
WOR$T GIRL IN ACADEMIA12I have moved between countries for less; can confirm
Rheum Cat6Okay but show of hands how many of us would do this now
Darryl Mott4That scene got so much funnier to me after watching @paleontologizing.bsky.social and finding out how little a dinosaur dig costs. He's crowdfunded them via Twitch. I'd bet just one of those land rovers in the park alone cost more than funding Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler's dig for three years.
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)289"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 Steve19My 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."
@aubergenius217In 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.'
Matt "zavaro" Allbright 🌵16I'm surprised there's not a techbro among their mind poisoned ranks who has created a company named InGen yet
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 Henderson44“It’s incredibly unethical, but also dinosaurs”
Dr Nathan Kilah27Fully funded research for three years? Sign me up!!! Most people don't appreciate the overheads of universities. Fully funded is huge.
Diedrich Bader22I’ve known lots of American archaeologists and field biologists and they would go anywhere to do anything for anyone at any time Their foreign counterparts however are properly funded by their respective governments so would never end up being chased by dinosaurs
Jaina20If Jurassic Park was real and there was a 50/50 chance of the dinosaurs escaping and eating me, I'd probably still go.
chaseacross☂️🇯🇴🇺🇦14How deep into tenure were they? I know some grad students that would bury a Bowie knife in a stranger's chest TO THE HILT.
Depressedkeanu10That place is like scientist Valhalla
max graves52scientists were going to the epstein island and it didn't even have dinosaurs on it
John “Danielle” Phipps7Dude a fucking T-Rex could crash through a wall, bite me in half and as it roared with the force of a thousand thunderclaps my dying words would be “s….so…..awe….some….*gurgle*”
Goldstein (2026 edition) Vamos Vamos Vargentina!4If I thought Jurassic Park was possible, I'd go back to school and get a degree in paleozoology just to get a job there. Are you kidding? Wouldn't even think twice about it.
Jurassic Park is a really good book that is somehow transcended by one of the best movies ever made
Cassie 🏳️⚧️13I just can’t get over Crichton’s whole foray into climate change denial
TheOatmealPancakes12Learning Roald Dahl wasn’t a great person makes preferring the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film he hated over his book all the sweeter.
Yautja Camgirl9It always makes me sad that Crichton basically followed JP's formula for the rest of his career. Pre JP, he wrote some amazingly interesting science fiction, afterwards it was all Jurassic Park, just with a different technology to freak out about each time.
Stephen The Lesser8The Martian by the authors own admission
🦀 Shawn Morris 🦀6The Lost World is not a good book and the movie clears it by adapting a bunch of Jurassic Park instead. Two in one franchise gotta be a record
His Grace, the Duke of Ankh, CDR Sir Samuel Vimes6The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Same.
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.
moose17No, 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.
I read it when it came out and my main memory of it was thinking, less than halfway through, "Oh, this isn't a book, it's a bid for a movie."
Fully just said to my partner “what if we had a Jurassic Park themed wedding” and she blurted “no! But… I did love the movie” (she just saw it for the first time ever like two months ago)
danielleri22The last few years have been truly horrible in so many ways, but man, I don’t even care how fucking corny it is, I really lucked out when I found her.
BooDooPerson3ok see you're not supposed to start with your best offer. You should have lead with "what if we had a Jurassic World themed wedding" and then grudgingly get bargained down to a Jurassic Park-themed one instead.
Imran Khan2I know -of- a guy in Kansas City with the jeep.
Ty Schalter1hold on i’m rewriting the ian malcolm monologue into vows, gimme a minute
Will Code For Pizza1This theme really goes though youtu.be/-NqaupGcCpw?...
