I Hate Jurassic Park
. . .the movie, that is. I enjoy Michael Crichton’s writing, but I just cannot stand the movies. Unfortunately, any of the three happen to be on Squid’s list of Movies He Must Watch Any Time The Clicker Flicks Past Them (which also includes The Hunt for Red October, any Bond movie, any Star Trek movie, MIB, among others). Some on the list I actually enjoy watching with them — just not Jurassic Park. So of course as I’m sitting here vegging blogging, JP is on and he . . . must . . . watch. I did, however, find a quote that I shall adopt for my own. The one redeeming quality of Jurassic Park.

I love that quote from JP. I also like the one where Ian Malcolm says something about the scientists being so concerned about whether they could that they didn’t stop to think whether they should.

Sounds just like my dh, except you can add any bad sci-fi movie to the list. Like you, I try to sit and watch with him, but sometimes you just can’t do it.

That was the beginning of J’s dinosaur addiction. When he was 1, his first favortie movie scene was when the “dinosaur eats the plane” in JP3.
