Seeing Read with Jim & Kelly

Jurassic Park

Jim Culhane & Kelly McMurray Season 1 Episode 23

Hey kids do you like dinosaurs? Science? Being gored by an extinct animal? Unchecked capitalism? The imminent destruction of our fragile ecosystem? Ugh boring, right? But what if I told you a man gets eaten by a TRex... on a toilet? Yeehaw cue the theme song, pack your lunch boxes with Dino DNA and hop in the helicopter, we're heading to Jurassic Park!

Kelly wasn't confident the book would be worth the price of admission but boy was she thankful Crichton was a bigger man than Spielberg. The maths all add up and the chaos in the aviary was enough to have her thinking that science could use some regulation. Social commentary is packed with action- it'll take a few chapters before the tranquilizer hits. If you agree with all of this, meet her and Crichton in the hatchery to dismantle AI.

Jimmy is ready to take you on a tour of a park you'll never forget. So make some room for Chilean sea bass and turn over those Barbasol cans. IT's DODGSON. Spielberg proves that nature always finds a way... to merchandize a franchise. Paradigm shifts aren't just for science. This movie changed the course of Blockbuster films and has forever altered our way of seeing Jeff Goldblum. 

The science about dinosaurs has greatly improved since the 90s but not the ideologies about how we use it. Whether you choose book or movie- women will inherit the earth.
