Jurassic Park Operating System: The JPOS Project
I’d like to bring to your attention an amateur project by a Slovakian enthusiast I’ve been following for a while. In short, this mad genius is recreating the entire management operating system of the most famous (and ill-fated) theme park in cinema history, Jurassic Park, as seen in the film—complete with screens, applications, and all!
L'uomo meccanico: A 1920s Robby the Robot
The first great robot in the history of cinema is entirely Italian: nearly 40 years before the famous Robby from Forbidden Planet, the forerunner of all science fiction automatons worldwide was the colossal protagonist of the extremely rare silent film L'uomo meccanico, produced in Italy by the Società Anonima Milano Films in 1921.
Barbarella’s Space Pistol
Few 1960s science fiction films capture the pop atmosphere of that era as much as Barbarella, directed by Roger Vadim. Upon its release in 1968, the film met with little success, but it is now rightfully regarded as a true cult classic among genre enthusiasts.
