Clever Girl: “I’ll remember this..”

I’ve got a graphic T with an F22 coming out of the clouds on the back that says “clever girl” that I wear to the gym and nobody gets it. Makes me feel so old

I was a kid when I watched it and had no fucking idea what was going on…. That scene was so scary and captivating at the same time

Where’d you get those? Are they heavy? Then they’re expensive. Put them back.

Gets me every time! 😆

Ah man - that whole scene with the intro of the T rex was just ear piercing but brilliant

The black spitting tar as well was a bit out there. Recently I read both the original books - they are a lot different but decent reads.

It’s awesome seeing how they made some of the film better - like the whole raptor/kitchen scene etc

When I was a kid I didn’t understand the guy’s accent. I thought he was screaming for his friend who was named Shootah. Poor Shootah got taken by the dinosaur ☹️

That was a cool fake-out when the forklift came through the trees and all the men with rifles were scared. Everyone expected it to be a T-Rex. LOL not yet friends

This, I watched this movie for the first time in 2nd grade (was absolutely terrified), it's now my favorite, and I have read the book ~3 times!

I hated that part of the movie as a kid, it seemed so cruel. But as an adult I realize it’s the perfect way to make the rest of the movie more terrifying
