New Server!

OK - I see the problem with sometimes getting an error message whilst commenting *isn’t* fixed. I’ll look into it after tea.

In the meantime, a workaround is to try and post the comment three times - it works on the third time. (I think Cpt-D said something similar ages ago - he was right.)

Right - not managed to finish the comment issue yet. I’ve asked on Drupal’s support forums, so hopefully I’ll have a fix soon.

Sorry about this. G&T has been rather unreliable recently - after this, we should be sorted…

I believe the comments problem has now been fixed.

I’m monitoring the error log, so if it happens again, don’t worry - I’ll notice, and have another look at it.

I felt Dwarf’s looked better

Yeah, the dinosaur head looked fantastic. Shame that the CG dino looked almost nothing like it, though.

Still, they’re both better than that sodding crocodile…

I liked the crocodile (I didn’t realise at the time it was supposed to be realistic- I liked it as a parody) but I didn’t like Pete. Maybe it’s because Jurassic Park rose my expectations (and looking back it looks pretty bad as well)

You’ve GOT to be kidding, yes? Jurrassic Park has ahtonishing effects, which hold up better than most modern CGI creations. I’m still more convinced by Jurrasic Park than fucking King Kong, I can tell you.

*sputters*

Jurassic Park CGI is bad?!! The F’ing FX’s were brilliant! And still are compared to some modern day rubbish.

Love your dashing new picture Cappsy. But what are you looking at?

The Atlantic Ocean! Or a lady sunbathing… I can’t quite remember.

Quoted for truth.

Seriously, it’s impossible to overstate how incredible and revolutionary JP was at the time of release.

“Love your dashing new picture Cappsy. But what are you looking at?”

Indeed, wonderful CGI….

(Cappsy’s Grotesque Image) ;-)

There is *one* bit of CGI in Jurassic Park that I don’t think holds up hugely well - and that’s the Gallimimus herd near the end of the film. It just looks a bit too fake.

The rest though - I agree. It looks better than nearly all CGI does these days… and it was made in 1993. Fucking amazing.

>The Atlantic Ocean! Or a lady sunbathing… I can’t quite remember.

I think you would have been smiling if it was the latter :P

>The Atlantic Ocean!

There’s an Atlantic Ocean in England now, too?

Hey, we invented the Atlantic Ocean. You guys probably just took a few vowels out of it.

the biggest CG part was the Velociraptor attack on (can’t remember his name; the one who was going to shoot one but ended up being attacked from the sides). Watching that anamatronic velociraptor apparently tearing away at him… pretty bad. Most of it was pretty good, though, just parts make me cringe.
