An interesting fact:

"In the end, Jurassic Park featured only 15 minutes of dinosaur footage. But those handful of minutes changed film forever. Suddenly, anything a director could dream up could be put on the screen – tornadoes, snarling monsters and, as we’ve seen nearly ever summer since, wide-scale devastation. But just 21 years ago, the idea of accomplishing such feats was science fiction itself."

"That's definitely a huge part of it. Though there is an argument that Jaws is just that much better of a movie because the shark was kept in the shadows. I mean, that scene where the young woman gets attacked is one of the best death scenes, and it required almost no special effects whatsoever."


I really am sick of the overuse of special effects (along with ever-increasing commercial time).



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run
