darkerdemon2 I'm glad for you if you enjoyed JW, but it just didn't do it for me. Saw it once and don't care to see it again. JP is an all time classic for me though. The special effects are unbelievable for their time.

ArkadiosTheodulus the first movie certainly looks better then anything made afterwards, I mean, that first T-Rex scene basically solidified youd see the following movies. I went in thinking JW would be awful, but I loved how over the top it went, and the stories that went with it, so it revived my interest in the franchise. I am really excited about Fallen Kingdom, I'm very curious where theyre going to take the story....Its do or die for the franchise with it.

For some reason it always makes me happy to see some former child stars live a normal life. The film world can chew kids up and spit them out as adults that become addicts or jerks. I believe if acting is the passion it should be pursued but it's important to have other passions or paths for a career on case acting doesn't work out.

It would be so awesome to have been part of arguably the most famous film of all time. I was 9 when it came out and remember vividly the hype and energy going to see it with my family. The theatre was so packed and the way everyone reacted to it was amazing. My younger brother who was 7 at the time had to leave the theatre when the T rex came out for the first time! I remember it, he went to see the rest of Free Willy with my grandma in the theatre over cause he couldn't hack it. But I do remember it being one of the most magically terrifying experiences of my childhood.

I don't think so man, remember that first scene in Jurassic park where that punk kid was like "I'm not afraid of raptors" and then Sam Neil says something like "You'll try to stand still thinking they won't see you but then you'll look in its eyes and notice it's looking right back at you, and then before you know it 2 raptors come from both sides and claw your guts out!" Then Laura Dern says something like "next time, if you wanna scare a kid why don't you just pull a gun out". Then Sam Neil says "kids, they smell bad" Then she says "haha they don't smell bad" And he says "babies smell".

She doesn’t do acting anymore, which is a shame because in my opinion she was one of the greatest actresses of her generation. That look of terror in her eyes when she saw the velociraptor’s shadow in the visitor center, with the spoon of jelly shaking in her hand violently - it’s one of Hollywood’s most iconic scenes. When I think of Jurassic Park that is one of the very first scenes that comes to mind. If she’s as good an artist as she was an actress, then we’ve got another Van Gogh or Renoir on our hands.
