When I was in sixth grade, there was a small fire in the middle school and the fire department was still assessing our wing of the building. The administration didn't want to use up a cancellation, so they decided they would walk us (a class of, oh, maybe 300 eleven year olds, not easy to herd) the half mile to the high school and there could be a "presentation" in the auditorium all day.
It didn't occur to me until just now how much MORE pissed the teachers must have been about not getting the day off.
So they took us to the auditorium and, sick of our shit already, put on Stand and Deliver and told us to STFU and watch the heartwarming movie about a great teacher. And we were like WE WOULD RATHER MAKE LOUD DICK JOKES and they were like goddammit. So SOMEBODY heroic drove across town to the lone video rental place and picked up Jurassic Park, which had JUST come out on video. They put it on the projector and we proceeded to shit our baby little pants in silence for the next two hours.
During lunch and the all-afternoon outdoor recess they figured they would give us (how did this count as a school day?) all anyone talked about was how they hoped that when they died it would be painless, like really suddenly and they didn't know it was coming, or in their sleep. And not, for instance, while on the shitter and screaming.
Fuckin movie rules.

If they made Jeff Goldblum's daughter kicking a raptor on the paralell nars a special feature for the first film, my day would be made.

The Lost World has "DON'T GO INTO THE LONG GRAAAAAASSSSSS!".
Also it has Pete Postlethwaite in a sweet hat. Your argument is invalid.
Even the Tyrannosaurus on the main land wasn't a deal breaker for me. However I need to pretend that the gymnastics part fighting raptors just never happened.

Sort of tempting. Lost World is rewatchable and entertaining, but III is just too terribad. Will wait for the individual release of 1.

You are correct sir. The "theme" is nice and all but "Journey to the Island" is all I'M GONNA RIDE A FUKKIN DINOSAUR

Meh, waiting for the original.
I'm sorry, I just can't watch movies where characters somehow have the case of being dumb to live. And yes, I also hate Cloverfield for displaying the same thing.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Jurassic Park is in my top 10 films of all time, so I'll be all over a release of the original.
The T-Rex break out scene is still one of the nicest looking CGI/animatronic hybrids ever filmed.

Just wait. It'll eventually be released separately like the Alien movies were.tedtropy said:

I really hope the LFE tracks on these are awesome. They need to be otherwise I'll be incredibly disappointed.

Yes.
I've had dinosaurs on the brain since before I can remember, and seeing the T. rex breaking out of its paddock for the first time in 1993 was genuinely a defining moment of my childhood.
18 years on, and the original JP has yet to lose an ounce of its magic; I didn't care for the sequels, but I can't wait to see the first one on Blu.
Oh yes, OH YES.
First one is leagues ahead of the sequels but they are still good movies.
I still think making the T-Rex a little bitch in 3 was the worst fucking idea ever though.
edit: I'l be the first to admit that the real scene on that OP gif STILL gets me all teared up today.
The music, man....the music

I'll wait til they release JP1 solo. No interest in 2 or 3. I'd rather watch Batman and Robin to be honest.

Day 1.
I'm wondering what the deleted scenes are too. I always thought Spielberg hated them so I can't imagine what they are. Hopefully the freighter scene with the dead boat crew will have closure.atomsk said:
Btw, the are playing Lost World on Cinemax this month and for all the hoopla surrounding Jurassic Park, Lost World blows it and JP3 out of the water in terms of effects. It all looks fantastic even by todays standards.
The movie still makes some unforgiveable errors in storytelling judgement, but it does so looking fabulous.

This scene always makes me laugh!Strafer said:
Entirely thanks to the lighting style they went with - the bright daylight shots don't look quite as good. It just goes to show that a keen artistic eye can always overcome technical limitations and age well. District 9 aliens are another one that I think we will still be thinking looks good 18 years from now. I honestly can't really think of other films that'll fit that category.Spanish Wrath said:

I think Alien and Aliens also hold up very well so many years later!Suairyu said:
