I thought it'd be a good personal exercise to make a lil thread of things I've picked up while learning to actually cook, and enjoy cooking, the past few years! No hoity-toity "go to your local butcher for a pint of duck fat," just grocery store home cooking.
There's a great bit in Jurassic Park at the velociraptor dig site where the guy behind the computer is so excited about the fossil-scanning tech he says that "A few more years development and we won't even have to dig anymore" and Alan Grant replies "where's the fun in that?"
Steven Spielberg has written a tribute about the late Sam Neill after his tragic passing.
“I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park.
Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children.
I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him. Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
