On Re-watching Jurassic Park for the first time in my adult life

  1. Doctor Who has ruined this for me just as it ruined Star Wars. Because I could see the "bad version" of the effects in Doctor Who, I knew what to look for in Star Wars. The exact same principle applies here. Or to put it another way "Puppet, puppet, CGI, puppet, extraordinarily fake car CGI, puppet, CGI, CGI, how'd they do- oh never mind puppet, CGI."
  2. By the same token, however, I've found that I can now actually understand what Hammond and Grant are saying behind their accents. So it's not all bad.
  3. John Hammond is an idiot.
  4. Ian Malcolm is frakking annoying.
  5. Bless them, those kids can actually act. Well, inasmuch as they're supposed to be annoying little brats.
  6. OH F*CK RAPTOR RAPTOR RAPTOR 
  7. ...wow. There were only three Raptors in that entire film. 6-year-old-me remembers there being more. (Then again, 16-year-old-me read the book,  in which there were a hell of a lot more, so that might be coloring things.)
