It should be a bigger scandal that J.K. Rowling is threatening to sue small accounts for accurately calling her a Holocaust denier. So glad the Streisand effect exists. Now we can all rebuke her reprehensible views more than ever.

I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.
(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)

The foreshadowing in the first act of Jurassic Park is nuts, considering it's an adaption of a story everyone watching it knew.
Most famously, this is a movie that foreshadows the entire plot with a seatbelt, with Grant having two "female" connectors but managing to tie them together anyway, or the fact that the plot is kicked off by Hammond treating a liability tour conducted bc dinosaurs ate someone as a exciting grand opening, but like
"Dr. Wu is introduced writing lab data down in pencil, and erasing it." Sure
"In the DNA lab some of the dinosaur's names are misspelled." Huh (and likely intentional, since it's two misspellings of two popular dinosaurs shown in close-up)
"When Hammond is pouring champagne for Grant and Sattler, he accidentally grabs much cheaper glasses without noticing, and we can see the right glasses sitting in the background" What?
I think this ties into the "UNIX system" scene too. Set aside that that was a real, if obscure, file manager program, everyone mocking how it was an example of Hollywood "not getting computers" is wrong on those grounds too. "Yeah, it looks cool, but it wouldn't be very efficient or functional". Yeah, and that's why it makes perfect sense for John Hammond to have it on the computers at Jurassic Park. After all, a boring, functional folder doesn't scream "spared no expense". It's not an great example of the filmmakers not getting computers, it's a great example of a character not getting computers

With this place, I wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real. Something they could see and touch... an aim not devoid of merit.
JURASSIC PARK 1993, dir. Steven Spielberg
