shadowkatDay #16 of 30 Days of Halloween Challenge
The prompt is A science fiction film or television series that you enjoy (doesn't have to be horror but should have a scary episode. If it's not horror - pick a scary or horror related episode to show.)
This is a movie I've re-watched several times, and read the book. Is it a masterpiece, probably not. I've also seen all the sequels.
Jurassic Park is a not so subtle satire on the amusement park fetish. And the idea of going a bit too far with science for one's own economic advancement and hubris.
It's also rather clever and biting at times. There's some great lines in it, and some great sequences. It's genuinely frightening in places, and breathtaking in others.

It's much the same as the classic audio gear I work on-- the general public has barely heard of many of the brands I'm familiar with, but even among those, there is the really, truly great old stuff, and the-- just plain ordinary old stuff. There's even occasionally some stuff which pretty much should never have become stuff.
My favorite radio station has a neat promo quip about their playlist... it's "Curated, not encoded." That's kind of my approach to a lot of things.
