Hi,
when i was a kid, i watched Bergman, read the great philosophers, blah, blah, blah. I wanna have fun. I liked JP3 quite a bit. Btw, i used to use the T rex scene to adjust my home theatre (thea-tah) *and* to show it off. The goat was to the left, cliff to the right. Seen it a million times. My theater can't do this, but the roar of the Rex should make your innards quiver like jello in an earthquake. Can't really afford that much subwoofer.

Late, thanks for you support. I've seen one Bergman in film class, have a feeling it wouldn't see "wide release" these days, nudge nudge.Someday I will have a supreme home theater in a mansion...until that time, I live with my two channel music only system, and it's very fulfilling.
Hi,
i have a dual purpose monster; it seems insatiable in it's desire to gobble money. But it's great, something like ST:Voyager is a bit different with a decent stereo kicking out the sound. If you're talking movies with a lot of music, it sounds wonderful, i am thrilled to really hear the classics for the first time.
However, it took me a long, long time to get here. It's posted in Inmate Systems, i am currently building some basic bass traps.
I just love standing in a muggy sweltering garage drilling five bazillion holes. Don't tell anybody, but i sneak in one of those
weirdo movies where they talk all funny once in a while....
I build speakers, but bought (instead of built) my room treatments...how's that for backwards? I of course have commerically made speakers too...I was just drilling a baffle out last night...
It's taken me a while to get where I am too.
I may post my system in inmate's systems at some point.
> > > "...this place is loaded with primadonnas" < < <I'm a HUGE fan of the Jurassic Park movies and I'd be the first to say that the fact that they're fun is good enough. Nevertheless, finding fault with sloppy film direction or plot-holes which draw attention to themselves doesn't make the film patron a primadonna any more than it makes a great albeit flawed film into a bad movie!

If you're questioning my observations, I'd suggest watching that scene a few more times. Also, it isn't a "cliff" it's part of the T-Rex paddock enclosure! As far as where the sound originates that isn't nearly as important to me as visual continuity (i.e., where the Park vehicle is located when the scene starts and the location of the tree where it ends up). Unfortunately, my LD player turned to "toast" recently or I'd go back and do a step by step and relate the obvious continuity gaff in more detail. *SIGH* I guess it's time to buy the DVDs even though I can't part with the LDs (that's another story).
BTW, several people who saw this film with us while it was still playing in the theaters made similar observations, so it isn't just my faulty perception. The unfortunate part of this is that the scene could've easily been fixed (i.e., made less awkward or confusing) without any loss of tension. Personally, I think Spielburg was so concerned about getting the effects and thrills right that he failed to concentrate on visual continuity issues that might surface with repeated viewings. Note: This is VERY understandable when one considers the fact that he was in the process of filming Schindler's List at the same time!
On a lighter note, you mentioned watching Bergman when you were a kid and it reminded me that one of my favorite promos for advertising action movies on the TBS Superstation awhile back was "It ain't Bergman, but things blow up!" :o)
Cheers,
AuPh
Hi,
i have the dvd, gave my LD to Sis. There is an error. I remember watching a Bergman about a priest who loses his faith. Since i have never been religous; i didn't think much about it. The next day... i 'got it', and was depressed for a month.
There is an excellent chocolate maker (Len Libby's) on the way to the new theater (it has a decent sound system), give me a good matinee thriller, dark chocolate covered cashews, some popcorn n lemonade....
and i'll pretend that cramped little art theater, with it's small screen and tinny sound doesn't exist, along with 'My Dinner with Andre' How about a short, 'Tyron the Rex eats Andre for dinner'
