Behold, this gate sounds like the beginning of the ‘Jurassic Park’ theme

TwitterFacebook

Squeaky gates are more annoying than anything.

Not this gate though, which invokes a sense of nostalgia for everyone’s favourite dinosaur-related film, Jurassic Park.

Twitter user @lukedmond posted a video of his gate which, when opened, issues the same notes as the film’s theme by John Williams — you’ll remember it from the iconic scene when the gates of the wildlife park appear on screen.

While it’s a pretty short clip, you’ll get the gist.

Fortunately, someone else completed the rest of the theme, if only hearing the first few notes of it proved too frustrating for you. Read more…

‘Jurassic Park’ returning to theaters for 25th anniversary

TwitterFacebook

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom blew up the box office just two months ago—and yet Universal is already inviting moviegoers back into its prehistoric pandemonium.

This September,  in honor of its 25th anniversary, Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park will retake big screens across the country. With over 500 participating theaters, ticket availability should be high. Jurassic fanatics will have a much better shot at getting seats here than at one of August’s super in demand Dark Knight IMAX showings.

A giant, semi-nude statue of Jeff Goldblum has popped up in London

TwitterFacebook

You may not have realised it, but up until now there’s been a giant, Jeff Goldblum-shaped hole in your life.

A hole which has at long last been filled.

On Wednesday, reports of a giant, semi-topless statue of Jeff Goldlum by London’s Tower Bridge began to appear on Twitter.

‘Jurassic World Evolution’ works so well because it remembers to dial in the chaos

TwitterFacebook

Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm would surely adore a game like Jurassic World Evolution. It’s a perfect virtual manifestation of the chaos theory he so worships.

As a video game that you and I can play, Evolution is also a no-brainer proposition. How did it take until 2018 for someone to leap on this idea and execute it well? Take the basic framework of a game like RollerCoaster Tycoon and replace all the rides with dinosaurs.

Basically, build your own Jurassic World. Boom. You can almost hear the money printing itself.

Evolution benefits from the fact that it’s the work of Frontier Developments, the studio behind the aforementioned RollerCoaster Tycoon series. Building your very own dino Disney World — a multi-stage operation that involves planning fossil expeditions, researching DNA, egg incubation, recreation activities, and smart facility planning — is magically approachable and satisfying, even when your lab-grown critters don’t behave.

Actor tweets story of how his whole life changed after he sent Steven Spielberg a letter

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve ever considered writing a letter to one of your heroes, do it.

On the one hand, it might not come to anything. But on the other it could change the entire course of your life.

On Monday, actor and writer Andrew Briedis shared the story of how a letter to Steven Spielberg started him on the path to his future career — and how it was all tied to Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park was released in theaters 25 years ago today, so I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about why I have a baby raptor tattooed on my leg.
