Yeah, well they couldn't very well do a semi-love story between a student and a professor in a kickass dinosaur movie. Grant was also fat and bearded in the book, whereas Sam Neill was believable-attractive.

Meesa hunt in packs!

I was just happy to see Walken in a GOOD movie.

THIS. And then Andy Serkis could get some actual screen time instead of dancing around with dots all over his body.

I wouldn't mind if they were ALL continuity errors, but some of them are just him bitching.

When I rewatched that scene, it seemed really slow and not nearly as menacing. But when I was a kid, I was in the damn fetal position over a fucking serving spoon. Such is the magic of JP.

They really did use their multi-generational cast to best effect.

I noted this above, but yeah, the compy scene was great. Hammond was MUCH less cuddly in the book.

This! It had a gizzard, dammit!

Recently, they decoded the AIDS genome with the help of a video game. It's not as far-fetched as it may same, even if VR is pretty passe at this point.

The later Potter movies had pretty great special effects, just because the technology improved and Chris Fucking Columbus wasn't directing it.

The book covers this a bit more, but that sense of wonder is really what makes this film work for me.

I just wish the dilophosaurus had tilted its head to the side and said, "Hello, NEWMAN" before spraying him with poison.

Ugh, those penis-dentata things that eat human heads are so damn gross. That's the scene that stuck with me; I didn't really care about anything else that happened in that film.

Spielberg just knows how to combine wonder with terror. We can make fun of Spielberg Face, but it's damn effective. Jurassic Park works so well in part because it shows the impact these monsters have on the characters' physical and emotional perspectives. I feel like modern CGI-reliant monster movies, particularly

I couldn't believe how easy the final answers have been lately. Chelsea Clinton (which two of the contestants somehow missed) and Tropic of Capricorn? Even I got that one, and I suck at geography.

Do it and skype me.

We can agree to disagree on this. It's the only part of the episode that REALLY doesn't work for me. I'd expect a rich, handsome, charming guy in his mid-thirties to be married in this era, even if he does rut after proto-bohemian artists. It just isn't that surprising of a reveal.

She just supported him when he was breaking the sire bond. Werewolves only change on the full mood. Plec said werewolves don't change when they're pregnant, but has neglected to mention that in the actual show.

It is possible to disagree without being rude.
