But still never (a decent version of) the original version of what you saw in the theater. There are some things that even money can't buy.

I also love 'Paralyzed.' For me, the very beginning evokes those echoey noises that Leia hears in the forest in Return of the Jedi.

Did they steal their sunshine? (That's Len, right?)

I haven't decided how much I like LGBD. That has put a hold on me checking out Super Extra Gravity. Based on Life-FBotM-Gran Turismo, the Cardigans were one of my favorite bands as a teenager.

Totally. I got laughed at for liking the Cardigans, but it was worth it. Life is a treasure of an album. For me especially, "Daddy's Car."

The phrase "Jar of Hearts" is very clever. I certainly agree that the song as a whole is very very melodramatic, and some of the lyrics are a bit over the top. But I still like it.

I first became familiar with U2 around the time Pop release, although my exposure was mostly due to the Joshua/Achtung songs still being regularly played on the radio then. So I was with it before ATYCLB, back when they were "weirder."

They still have a lot of work to do if they want to catch up to the Land Before Time franchise.

Yeah, I cannot recall anything about the music in the sequels, but the score for the first one was brilliant, especially the two "main themes"…part of the sense of awe and wonder and trepidation.

I just had the word "Gothzilla" come to mind, after reading these two comments.

"…from the same people who brought you 'Moby Dick 2000'"

Did you make that up? Because it seems too easy.

Uh, I guess that for me personally, it saw the film jump genres or something like that. I enjoyed the first film in a non-Godzilla/King Kong sort of way.

I consider the first film to be an A+ and one of the greatest films ever made, period. Not just for the CGI, but for pretty much everything about it.

I'm with ya on that. The flyers were the only thing I found really memorable about the second or third films.

I emphatically agree. I'm not sure if the producers really considered (for TLW and JP3) that no other dinosaur has the broad cultural resonance of the T-Rex. Things work best when T-Rex is king. You can bring in a bigger, "badder" dino with red spikes and amphibious capabilities, but it will not convey the same sense…

Coooool.

Those were the lean years, but in retrospect, they were good times. Star Wars being a rare(r) commodity seems strangely attractive now. My dad had X-Wing for our old PowerMac, and I also was mesmerized that there was an actual game with all of those Star Wars details in it.

The Dark Nemo Rises.
