Oh shits, I totally forgot about Gallaminus! This will need to be remedied. I will also add the Sega CD game to the OP, as it was in fact the balls. I am falling behind on my own thread!
On a related note I ust recently I tried to complete the isometric JP game for the SNES, however it crashed right before I was able to collect the last raptor egg. It'll probably be another 10 years before I work up the strength and free time to try it again.
And damn Rankenphile, don't hold out on us. Here is my secret shame to get the ball rolling:
Ariana Richards was my first actual crush on girls ever, and it made me all hot and bothered when she got dusted with dinosaur snot.
Good times.
Glad you all enjoyed the OP, I will not get a paycheck today because of it.
Here I am near the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Japan wearing my T-Rex hat. The ride was fun and I wanted something to remember it by or I wanted to be a dork. Either way I got a cool hat out of it.
In the San Francisco zoo, they have a cassowary. It is a large bird that lives in northern Australia, and is basically a small velociraptor.
Its enclosure had really dense trees, but I caught glimpses of it stalking around. It makes this horribly menacing grunting noise.
For a moment, I felt like I was in Jurassic Park.
I have two dogs - a black lab and a German Shepherd mix of some kind - and occasionally when they walk in a room they'll both squeeze through the door side-by-side and immediately split up and cover opposite edges of the room
they move just like the raptors moving through the kitchen in that one scene
On that Jurassic Park ride at the theme park, I was literally pulled up from my seat. Mostly because my fat ass cousins sat at either side of it and the bar thingy that held you down was loose to me, being a skinny 13 year old at the time.
The picture of me is practically standing up and with the yellow tarp all over the place and I'm all DX
Last time I went to Universal Studios Orlando, my friend and I must have gone on that ride at least ten times.
One of the times I took out my camera in attempt to film the entire ride. We made it all the way to initial moments before the drop, and as the T-rex simulation crashed through the roof above us our boat suddenly stopped, literally right at the cusp of the fall, and a couple flood lights came on. Then a voice over the intercom boom, "Person in the front seat please put away the camera!". The lights went off and the ride resumed, however at this point the T-rex was already being reset back into it's default position, ruining the illusion for everyone. Whooomp whoomp (sad trombone).
Also, obese people shouldn't be allowed to ride up front.

It's been "bird of prey" ever since Speilberg had Dr. Grant say it in the first movie.
Jurassic Park 3
Dumbest moment: Spinosaur wrecking the t-rex's shit.
WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE
The only thing that makes this dumb is the fact it was at the beginning of the movie otherwise it's the only reason to see the damn movie. They should have kept the T-rex around just so you could have people running and screaming from two massive predators. Instead I have to watch some kid play with Rex piss, talking raptors, and the X-Games in a pterodactyl nest.
And considering the amount of good this film did for paleontology I'm sure they let it slide.
Otaku: It is dumb because the Spinosaur won.

I also like how the spinosaur manages to live through the T-Rex chomping down on its neck. Nothing lives through that shit, ok? I don't care how thick your skin is, that's going to crush your spine and puncture your arteries, and on the negligible chance that you do manage to survive somehow, you've only got a few days until the gangrene and sepsis take over your bloodstream entirely.
Yeah, but seeing as how the T-Rex was kind the symbol of the franchise, having him killed off by a predominant fish eater within the first 20 minutes and then following with the big "f-you" that was the rest of the movie seems a pretty terrible choice. I agree however that having the two team up to hunt the humans in a sort of dinosaur buddy movie would have been the better way to go with things.
The best thing to come from that film was the cell phone ring that came emitted from the spinosaur every time he was near. I still look about my surroundings whenever someone has that ringtone.

Number one, I caught Jurassic Park on tv a few days ago and god dammit, that movie has the best special effects ever. Nothing can touch the T-Rex in the rain scene.
Number two, was that guy in JP3 really named Jack Kirby? Man fuck that movie.
I swear I had this terribly vivid dream the other night where I was outside the T-rex gate when of course the damn thing busts out and finds me hiding under the car. It even did the dialated pupils thing when it saw me, I flipped shit.
Ditto Raijin, I cannot however find anything to prove it as false.
Fun Fact Number Two: The first character to get eaten (not including the off-screen death at the beginning of the movie) by the Spinosaur is named after the first character to get eaten in the Dino Crisis franchise. DINO CRISIS. That should tell you where the writers heads where on this one.

The interesting thing with that scene? Because the skins for the T-Rex were made of latex, it started soaking up the water and started to weigh heavily on the skeleton underneath. In the extra features on the DVD you can see the effect it had on the T-Rex, The hydraulics would start shaking uncontrollably trying to move the heavy skin and it looks like Michael J. Fox the dinosaur. It almost caused the scene to be terribly cut down but they figured out a way to shield it from the rain machines and dry it between takes.
Movie Version: Everyone's favorite rock star chaos theorist! Jeff Goldblum took this role and ran with it, staying in character up to and throughout his role in Independence Day, a film he would not star for another three years! Unfortunately he snapped out of it just prior to the shooting of Jurassic Park 2, and in a haze of confusion decided to portray the good doctor as a pussy instead.
Novel Version: Dr. Mary Sue. Micheal Crichton's biggest mouthpiece character in a novel filled with mouthpiece characters! Like Grant, will not shut up about his theories, even when suffering from gain green and slipping in and out of coma's. Takes time out from dying to go on long winded diatribes, conveniently moving the plot forward with the subtlety of a jackhammer before passing out once more.
Best moment of stupidity: Knowing full well in advance that not only was the park bound to fail and it's citizens to be horribly maimed, but still attending a free trip for the hell of it. Probably just so he could sit back and give a smug "I told you so", all the while being disemboweled by prehistoric horrors. BONUS POINTS: Brings himself back from the dead just in time to attend a second excursion to the island.

Only problem is...

birds of prey are commonly known simply as raptors, which is the part that means "to snatch or carry off," which describes their predatory nature
The picture of me is practically standing up and with the yellow tarp all over the place and I'm all DX
translating "swft thief" to "bird of prey" still doesn't make sense
Analogous is probably not the word I want but you know what I mean
edit: also, nobody calls the birds velociraptors anyway, just raptors

that op must have taken some planning. Dear lord this is awesome.
He's like someone who brings you delicious cake, and then pees on it in front of you.
I really hate that man.
