AI notes: Jurassic Park (1993) is a landmark science fiction thriller that blends cutting-edge visual effects with compelling storytelling, setting a new standard for blockbuster filmmaking. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Michael Crichton's novel, the film follows a group of scientists and visitors invited to a remote island theme park where living dinosaurs, cloned from ancient DNA, roam in carefully controlled enclosures—until a catastrophic systems failure turns the marvel into a nightmare. With memorable performances from Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough, the film masterfully builds tension, awe, and terror as the characters fight to survive against the unleashed prehistoric predators. Its seamless combination of animatronics and revolutionary CGI, particularly in scenes like the T. rex breakout and the raptor kitchen stalk, stunned audiences and earned the film three Academy Awards. John Williams' iconic score adds emotional weight and grandeur, cementing Jurassic Park as both a thrilling adventure and a profound cautionary tale about humanity's hubris in the face of nature’s power.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
