giant dinosaur goodness

i never made it to the grocery store. sloth won out over red vines.

the sunday night movie on usa is jurassic park. i can still remember the first time i saw it. my friend owen and i went, we saw it at the biggest theater on the island, and by "big" i mean it had three screens half the size of what you'd find in an average multi-plex. the whole time in line we joked about how retarded we were for seeing a dinosaur movie. i'm sure we went because we were bored and not because we had any desire to see the actual movie; it was just the least offensive of the three playing. i was the worst of the two of us, i spent the entire time in line and through the previews talking about how dumb the movie was going to be, how lame we were, and how i could not believe i was watching a movie about dinosaurs. as usual i ate all my red vines before the movie started.

by the time we walked out of the theater i was a totally different girl. i raved about the giant dinosaur sounds, the scary velociraptors, i kept saying, "that was so great! didn't you think that was great? man, that was great." i made owen take me out for coffee so we could talk about it more. i loved that film. i saw it three more times in the theater, then when it came out on video, and then dvd...and every time i see that opening sequence i feel the same sense of holy shit i felt the first time i saw it. i love that giant dinosaur sound.
