[Gentle Sharptooth]

Jurassic Park just celebrated its thirtieth anniversary!

I watched it on June 11th and must confess I felt old when I remembered being a kid seeing it in theaters for the first time.

My answers to the above questions.

What are some of your favorite moments from the film?

Mine always has been the raptors in the kitchen. However, this time I prefer Ellie Sattler and Robert Muldoon’s scenes as they try to get the power back on. When you see the Raptor Paddok fence torn open and you hear the dread raptor theme, I always get goosebumps.

Favorite memories?

Probably bugging newlyweds at an airport as I talked their ears off about Jurassic Park as I played with my T-Rex t
and JP Jeep toys.

Favorite dinosaur featured in the film?

Velociraptor. The build up of terror: the opening sene of the raptor teying to escape, the skeleton in Montana, Grant terrorizing the kid about raptors, “point is you are alive when they start to eat you,” the baby raptor and Grant saying “what species is it?” And “you bred raptors?” Followed by the cow being devoured without seeing the raptors, then there reveal in the power plant, Muldoon’s Clever Girl, the Kichen, and climax.

Favorite character?

Ian Malcom. He knew what would happen all along, Chaos theory!

Favorite quote?

“Yes John, but your scientists were so preoccupied with if they could they never stopped to think if they should!”
