The Honest Trailer Folks Are Snarky About Jurassic Park 3D, Diminishing My Anticipation By Exactly Zero Percent [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 1:15 pm, April 3rd, 2013

I agree with what the Honest Trailer for the 3D re-release of Jurassic Park says about it being unnecessary. It is. And yet I do not care. If there’s a chance to see Jurassic Park on the big screen I’m going to take it, no matter how many dimensions it’s in.

And all the stuff about how the technology in the movie is hilariously outdated now is actually a positive. You have not known joy until you’ve been in a sold-out screening of people laughing at “It’s an interactive CD-ROM!,” not to mention cat-calling at Jeff Goldblum‘s shirtless, glistening torso and cheering when Lex goes into girl-hacker mode.

How To Feed A Brachiosaurus, According To Jurassic Park

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:44 pm, March 26th, 2013

The Stan Winston School of Character Arts has made us very happy by releasing behind-the-scenes videos of how the Jurassic Park dinosaurs were made. We saw a Raptor test, how a man fit inside a Raptor, and most recently, the Dilophosaurus. “It was the largest puppet we built that had absolutely no hydraulics in it. So it was weighty and a big challenge to get to move,” said lead Brachiosaurus artist Andy Schoneberg, “I got quite a workout on the jaw, making a big circular motion with this giant controller, getting everything moving and grinding properly.” Seriously, being next to one of their creations is the next best thing to being next to an actual dinosaur.

According to Jezebel’s translation, these young ladies are charging $2.50 for easy cases, $6.25 for medium, and $12.50 for hard, but they won’t work on their own birthdays. I’d say that’s a good deal.

See How the Guy With the Coolest Job Ever Created Jurassic Park‘s Spitting Dinosaur [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 1:15 pm, March 11th, 2013

I will never get tired of watching behind-the-scenes dinosaur footage from Jurassic Park. Never. There’s a reason the special effects of that movie have aged so well, and that reason is puppets. The Stan Winston School, which made the dinos we all know and love so very much, previously released a video about the making of the Velociraptor. And now the spitting dinosaur (or Dilophosaurus, if we’ve being technical) that kills poor Nedry gets its turn in the spotlight.

Favorite part: “This is one of the coolest tongues I’ve ever done.”

Minimalist and Not-So-Minimalist Poster Designs for Marvel, DC, Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park, and More

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:28 pm, February 20th, 2013

Matt Ferguson‘s poster designs please me. And apparently they please Marvel too, since they’ve been known to use his art for their Blu-ray releases. I hope they please you, too. They’re pretty cool. I think the Jurassic Park poster is my favorite, but that might just be my Jurassic Park bias rearing its head, Velociraptor-style. It happens.

Click on the images to see them larger. It’s worth it.
