-I don't know if it's worth jumping over. (Found you.) -Party all done? (Can we go somewhere together?) -No, I just need some air. (I was looking for you.) -You are drunk. (Bozhechki, you are so cute.) -I'm not. (Yeah...I still am sober enough to know what who I want.) -Good for you. -Yeah, well, it could've gone to either one of us. (You are my equal, don't underestimate yourself.) -It went to you. (Take the praise, you talented idiot.) -So what? You're just up here sulking because, what, you couldn't take another victory lap around me? All you do is beat me.(I wish I could be as great as you.) I win one f*cking thing, and you can't even show your face.(I missed you out there.) -Gospodi.(Beat you? Seriously? I have way too much going on in my life to argue with you right now.)-What was that? -Not everything is about you, Hollander!(As much as I missed you, I am drowning in troubles, I can't and won't take you there with me.) -So what is it then?(Are you ok? Let me help you, please.) -What the f*ck do you want?(I will have to let you in so much it scares me. Please leave before it hurts both of us.) -Nothing. I just wanted to see the view and get some air, and..(And see you.) -And what? Here is f*cking view, Hollander. Check it out. F*ck! I go home in three days. (And it feels a mockery to call it that. I don't want to go. I want to stay here with you. I don't want to deal with all the shit with my dad, seeing Lesha again, feeling the guilt...) -Ok. Must be nice... And I guess I thought maybe we...(Could meet somewhere private. Could feel each other again...) Never mind. (I shouldn't be thinking about it, you obviously aren't.) Ok, I'm gonna...(Please don't make me go.)I guess I'll...uh...see you next season.(Please come shake my hand. Please hug me and kiss me right here and right now. Please.)

Now that the Irish Druid (Hozier) sang the Glorious Deity’s (Florence Welch) song the World should get better, right?

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?

[suicunesrider]

not gonna lie that still looks intimately real

[drtanner-dickery]

I’m still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really, really holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.

Fucking witchcraft, man. 

[fanboyingoverdemigods]

fucking look at this shit though

[mauridianhallow]

Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so I’ll say it for this one myself:

THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THAT’S WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AIN’T CGI. AND IT AIN’T GUY IN A COSTUME. IT’S A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.

[mizushimo]

amazing

[shadowthorne]

And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.

[mad-dyspunktional]

They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.

The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.

And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.

[datneeks]

One of my favorite anecdotes I’ve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?

Motherfucker randomly started moving.

So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldn’t actually, you know, eat them.

[alessariel]

Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.

[brainsforbabyjesus]

So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.

And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.

So of course, the power goes out.

And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.

Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while you’re inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.

And this guy hoped for the best and got it.

Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.

[alessariel]

This is getting better and better.

[red-dirt-roads-deactivated20161]

I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI

[teslasturtle-deactivated2023011]

I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.

[perspectivemax-deactivated20181]

@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?

[myloverhammurabi]

Realism comes at a cost, it seems.

[gorsime]

i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:

[myloverhammurabi]

It’s a three piece raptor suit.

[flamingbluepanda]

Old movies had the best special effects

[skafuller-deactivated20180122]

The thing about this that gets my special effects nerd going is the fact that EVERY single dinosaur was sculpted by artists based on the current existent archeological evidence of the time.

Even better than that, this movie ADVANCED our best understanding of dinosaurs at the time.  They were blowing out a budget bigger than anything Hollywood had ever seen, and along with employing almost the last hurrah of incredible physical FX, they had a bank of those newfangled digital SFX computers.  Nobody’d ever really created convincing dinosaurs in a movie before.  It’d all been stop-motion animation, and even when the models were exquisitely crafted, you could just tell there was something OFF about them.  Spielberg wanted THE BEST DINOSAURS EVER, and he figured on using the cutting edge of digital modeling and animation technology to build them for him.

So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said, “We want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.”

The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass.  They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that.  And when they’d created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that.  One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said, “Wait a minute, I’ve seen movement like that before.”

He called up film of a chicken walking.  Everyone in the room said, “Holy shit.”

Prior to 1989, the idea that birds were descended from dinosaurs existed–we knew about archaeopteryx, we knew there was some minor connection there–but the idea that DINOSAURS LIVE IN THE MODERN WORLD AND THEY ARE CALLED BIRDS was not pre-eminent.  Jurassic Park changed our scientific understanding of dinosaurs.

That paleontologists’d be Kevin Padian. Who is awesome.

Artemisia Gentileschi (Rome 1593-Naples 1652)

Self-portrait as the Allegory of Painting (La Pittura) c.1638-9

‘The gold chain around her neck – on which hangs a mask symbolising imitation – as well as her wild hair and iridescent dress, all correspond with the description of ‘Pittura’, the female personification of Painting. In conflating her own likeness with 'Pittura’, Gentileschi creates a truly original image – and one unavailable to her male contemporaries.‘

I’m in love, help

[pugbutch]

seeing the casual platonic physical affection the queer eye cast expresses is healing tbh. physical affection between lgbt people is so important…so many of us are lonely and touch starved and have complexes about seeming predatory if we so much as shake hands with a member of the same gender. and that stuff can’t just be fixed within romantic relationships. 

[borntobescottish]

even though it was a nice idea for Oliver to sing these words to Elio, I like that they just left this scene heartbreakingly silent and raw...as much as someone might “like” tearing their heart apart by stories told on screen, hehe...(

[finishingthehat]

I can confirm this to be true yes.

[borntobescottish]

yup. 100000% smug

[borntobescottish]

I've been protecting myself from reading CMBYN script for quite some time successfully... here I am, ~3 hrs after "The sound of an approaching car..." crying over this precious, beautiful, pure, heartbreaking, hope-giving, sensual, exquisite, delicate, awkward, honest, warm, understanding, soft story. Again.

[borntobescottish]

I like how...tactile-y honest Elio is. I'd give everything to actually crawl around the person I love like he did when Oliver tried to eat the peach. Or the way Elio rests his head on Oliver's chest. Don't know if you notice this about yourself, but, even in the most passionate love ever, some of us still tend to withhold our tiniest desires, our need in another person. Timothée said it looks like kind of an awkward wrestling, and it really does, he's shy and the intensity of these feelings is new for him, but he lets them out in the most honest way.. "Is it better to speak or to die", and in Elio's perspective it's even "is it better to speak and do, or to die?" - and he expresses himself, he searches for himself through both communication and physical connection (not only in the sex way). In a way, that's why the summer love between Elio and Oliver can be seen as something too defiant - because the society of updating the morning status, e-mails, and tweets is transforming into something less "reachable" in a physical way. Makes you think of how rarely we hug these days. There's a saying by Virginia Satir, the family therapist - "We need four hugs a day for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need twelve hugs a day for growth". We need to feel the reality, we need to feel the realness of other people we respect/admire/love, and even the ones we hate, too...

[borntobescottish]

I find it interesting that “Visions of Gideon” plays not only at the end of the film, but that you can hear the piano chords of the song before Elio and Oliver’s sex scene. “For the love, for laughter I flew up to your arms” as the song says, and as we finally see these two magnificent, intelligent, and passionate people embracing their feels.

Don’t know why but I love this moment in 3x10 where it looks like for a second Even can’t believe that there was that reuniting moment with Isak and instead he went crazy and imagined himself in a parallel universe where they are still together, but “the curtains are of different colour”, so he’s checking the colour..

i hate myself

Idris Elba: Speech on diversity in the media and film

I’m here to talk about diversity. Diversity in the modern world is more than just skin colour. It’s gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, social background, and - most important of all, as far as I’m concerned – diversity of thought. Because if you have genuine diversity of thought among people making TV & film, then you won’t accidentally shut out any of the groups I just mentioned.
