so, i needed to put something on to watch while i ate just now, but i didnt want to put something on that i would be way into, as i wanted to get some blogging done as well, afterward. i flipped through the many many dvds the Toast got in china, and settled on jurassic park.

i chose it because i'd made a comment to Toast that i hadnt seen anything with Laura Dern in it, and he was quick to point out jurassic park. now, the last time i saw it was probably 94-ish, and at that time, it was a movie to me, not a film. as such, i didnt really know actors, unless they were in one of my favorite movies at the time.

now, as it's on here, there's not only the aforementioned Laura Dern, plus Jeff Goldblum (who i did remember), but there's also Sam Jackson, that jackhole Newman from Seinfeld, and even BD Wong, whom i now know from Oz, and who apparently is in one of the thirty-odd CSI's or whatever.

overall, though, i'm realizing that yes, this is one of those big blockbuster spielberg things. big, sweeping (and boring) music swells, obvious character and plot development points.

oh, and i just looked up who did the music: John Williams. bleh. at least it wasnt michael kamen.

p.s., i cant get the damn weird al song out of my head now either.
