Chart Exactly Where Your Ian Malcolm Impression Takes Place


From iwatchstuff, Time to get frustrated by how incredibly close Nedry got to escaping from the island with this amazing, obviously-useful Jurassic Park map made by Terry "Tyrannosaurus" Davis (with assistance from Bernard "BrachioInGen" Kyer, Jeff "T-Rex_Master" Venancio, et al)! Reliving all the memorable scenes from the most quotable, always-watchable film ever made has never been more cartographic. I only wish there were an inset map showing me exactly where Nedry decides Dodgson is getting cheap on him.

The lowest pink dot should serve as a lesson to all future mapmakers: there should always be a point labeled "There it is!" on every future map ever made.

Okay, I went to the original site and I still can't see this thing big enough to make out the details. Do I really care? Who does stuff like this sixteen years later?

I certainly hope "the most quotable, always-watchable film ever made" is sarcastic. In this context I can't really tell.

It's not nearly as cool as the map of the Lost island, which is actually informative and helpful.

Jurassic Park; who cares? You got your dinosaur paddocks over there, your tour center over there...helipad, etc. etc. It's Spielberg, so you've always got a keen sense of the important spatial relationships scene-by-scene as everyone runs around.
