So I was just thinking about what I believe was Hammond's biggest mistake.
Breeding motherfuckin Velociraptors. What the hell, man.
It's not like he can play the "w..w..well we didn't know they were so deadly" card because if Alan Grant knows they are deadly, then surely his hired experts would know... or at least read Grant's book. I mean shiiiiiit even his grandson read Grant's book. (of course, I don't know if the book even detailed the raptors, but my point is that the knowledge was there)
And the T-Rex! WTF Man?! One of the most powerful creatures to ever walk the Earth, and it's got one fence to block it in?! Golf. Ham.
Here at the Tulsa zoo all the large predators like grizzly bears, Lions, Tigers, and Chimps (I know, chimps aren't full blown carnivores but they are VERY deadly) all have a concrete ravine/canal on top of the fences.
So could there not have been a cliff to separate the Rex from the people?! I mean, it's cool to put a cliff INSIDE the Rex Paddock, next to the fence, but not one between the outer perimeter of the fence and the car track just in case of the event the fence failed.
Spared no expense???? Fuck you, Hammond!
Why not start out slow with less dangerous dinosaurs and eventually lead up to dilophosaurus and T-Rex but PROPERLY CONTAINED.
Btw I love Jurassic Park

No his biggest mistake was relying on automation programmed by one dude for everything.

He should've spared no expense on the system programming.
Agreed but you must admit, even if Nedry messed everything up and the systems failed, if the biggest risk was getting stepped on by a brachiosaurus or charged by a trike, the aftermath of the incident would have been vastly different.
Eh, it's not like a single unarmed person will fare any better against a tiger or a lion. Just look what happened when that tiger escaped from the San Francisco zoo. It was a problem of insufficient safety precautions and design.

I heard this ride is being considered for Florida possibly in the location of triceratops encounter and camp Jurassic. I hope it's true

Think about it though, they were extracting and cloning DNA blind, they didn't have a clue what they were cloning until it had actually hatched.
He spent millions (billions?) building this island and Site B, getting all the staff, paying loads of money for amber from cold climates to be shipped to Site B, the yields of viable embryos were that low he had to make thousands upon thousands of dud ones just to get one fertilised egg.
Would you use all the money cloning a dinosaur for it to turn out to be a predator and then put it down wasting all that money?

Watching the Lost World right now.
Sarah says they shouldn't be fucking around with anything, not even so much as "bending a blade of grass". Only there to "observe and document and not interact".
This is 2 minutes after molesting a baby Stego and snapping pictures setting off a whole fucktitude of disturbance amongst the herd.
So good.

Yeah, the script is god-awful.
And later on they bring a BABY T-REX TO THE TRAILER!
Should've just wrote "Eat me" all over them.
Wouldn't be much of a movie if they didn't.

It wasn't much of a movie either way.

Pits/Moats lining the inside of the fences would have been a pretty solid idea.
That also.
Really? Do you have a link to this.. I would be fuckin thrilled to finally get a jeep adventure ride.

Jurassic Park 3D Blu Ray releasing April 23, 2013... Only 18 days after it comes out in theaters. Does this mean the movie will have an incredibly short run?
Also, the Jurassic Park films are getting standalone Blu Ray releases, so if you only wanted the first film only you now have your chance!
----
On another note, looks like Universal dropped the Spinosaurus from the JP3 logo:
That makes me a happy camper. It also gives me higher hopes for JP4's logo.

Man, I would really dig the JP3D logo if it weren't for the big, goofy looking '3D'. I have to say, I like the new logo changes across the board, but I'm not too fond of the letters being empty and not having the red lines inside. They look kinda weird so large and white.
Engadget article said it was only gonna be in theaters for a week.
After picking up that Sony 3D monitor on black friday, I think I'm legally obligated to buy this :lol

I just really hope the rumors of a JP expansion at Universal Studious are true.. There is just so much unused potential in the JP portion of IOA.

Looks like the JP expansion at Universal Studios is happening. (Still not officially announced)

Not doing a very good job being based on the book if his whole head has cleared the water and he can see them.
WRONG his biggest mistake was hiring this guy to do the job
Hey, you know anybody who can network eight connection machines and debug two million lines of code for what he bid for this job?
Because if you can, I'd love to see them try.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I was happy about the 3D conversion, because it meant a new film scan, which (I thought) meant a better 2D Blu-ray in the set.
Then Top Gun 3D reviews hit.
They did a new scan for Top Gun. It looked great. But they only used it for the 3D conversion.
The 2D disc in the set is the same dated, DNR'd mess as before. Love dat static grain. :/
Different companies, I know, but now I'm worried.

^ Yeah, I really don't get why they aren't using the newest, superior remaster for the new releases.

I would buy that in a heartbeat.
