I'm so sorry I missed this one! 'Jurassic Park' is easily one of my favourite films of all time! I watch almost every first time viewing/reaction video out there because it's so great to see how a well-written script answers the audience's questions immediately after they ask them. I've got a couple of comments to share after enjoying your watchalong. "I'm sorry, it's kind of a ride..." I see a lot of reactors ask if Hammond would be in attendance for every tour, day or night, to interact with his on-screen self. I say very unlikely. I always assumed the small theatre presentation with Hammond in attendance was made specifically for the investors visiting the island. For the actual tour the Mr. DNA animation would certainly be shown in a larger theatre that can hold more guests with the more dramatic score that Hammond says hasn't been written yet. "I bring scientists, you bring a rock star." There seems to be a lot of confusion over who Ian Malcom is and what he does exactly. Malcom is an underwriter, or a risk assessment specialist, brought to the island at the request of Donald Gennaro, who, as he describes in the movie, represents the InGen investors who are very concerned about the stability of Hammond's project. Malcom's particular point of distinction is his application of Chaos Theory mathematics to calculate the risk of instability and potential failure. The bumpy car ride version is that the more complex a system the more potential points of failure there are and the exponentially increased possibility of danger. Hammond's island is fraught with potential points of failure. It has, as Mr. Arnold so succinctly put it, "all the problems of a major theme park and a major zoo." Even if the park had not fallen victim to the perfect storm of industrial espionage, power shutdown and animal escape it is unlikely that Malcom would have signed off in support of the park and would have advised the investors to pull out. "Spared no expense." It is difficult to determine whether Hammond intentionally did cut corners in his development of the park. Dennis Nedry does say that he bid for the job of head programmer, so Hammond didn't necessarily under-pay him. It is possible Nedry under-bid, not understanding the requirements of the job. As for the park having minimal staff during the events of the movie, the majority of the employees had left on the boat to the mainland. Also, the amount of automation in Jurassic Park was not presented cost-cutting to reduce staff wages, it was a feature of how technologically advanced the park would be and how it could operate with a skeleton crew if required. There were certainly areas in need of improvement, such as the Ford Explorers lacking locking mechanisms, but I attribute those oversights more to Hammond's hubris and focus on the marvel of the animals more than a desire to pinch pennies. "Are these characters auto-erotica?" My favourite special effect/editing trick in the whole movie is when the CG Velociraptor in the refrigerator lunges at Timmy and in the span of a single frame switches from a CG character to a practical head and claws. The effect is extraordinary and I love how perfectly executed the switch is from digital to puppet. This was a great time, even if I had to watch it on the replay.
