Opal Fruits changed their name to Starburst
in 1998. Doesn't sound that long ago to people of my age, right? It was 13 years ago.

Jurassic Park came out 18 years ago. A genuine, proper lifetime ago.

But what is kind of bringing it home to me is that my body has slowly started degrading noticeably. I'm probably going to have to wear glasses soon.

I watched Terra Nova last night, which is a bit Jurrassic Park and produced by steven spielberg.
It's good, I give it a thumbs up.

The adverts for that make it look like an American big-budgeted Primeval
I'll still give it a go, I like Stephen Lang.

It's actually suprisingly good, the dinosaurs was the least interesting part of it IMO.

I feel old when I remember the days of checking the tv listings every week..
..for the next ten years in the hopes they'd repeat the episode of Catweazle/V/The Thorn Birds you'd missed. Nowadays you can catchup with episodes of the Inbetweeners on your lunch box or something.

Hang on, I went to their 25th anniversery show, which by your reckoning was 14 years ago
and I would only have been 16. And I wasn't 16.

SO MONTY! I put it to you, that you are infact INCORRECT.

I am still firmly of the opinion that Jurassic Park should never have been a PG, fucking frightening.

There're two big fuzzy lines that keep appearing

I remember reading the book to Jurassic Park way before the film was even on the horizon
Fucking good book - I read it in one sitting
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:20, Reply)

The book sequel was pretty good as well.
The film, not so much.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:22, Reply)

I was surprised at just how different the book sequel was to the film when I read it.

(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 28 Sep 2011, 12:24, Reply)

I think the film retained one scene from the book.
The rest of it was a completely different story. Which is odd as Spielberg asked Chricton to reintroduce Jeff Goldblum's character, even though he died in the first book, as he wanted to him in the sequel.

Yes, but Spielberg specifically asked that was included in the book as he wanted him for his film sequel.

It was a throwaway line
to the effect of "Rumours of my death were greatly misreported". It was explained that he kept slipping in and out of a coma like state due to his injuries, and that was mistaken for death at the time.
