What a classic...

So it was movie night at the Terrace tonight. Such a nice treat after a crazy hectic day at work, and a great way to really start summer off. Tonight's showing was Jurassic Park. I actually saw this movie in the theater, back in 1993. Now, let me put this in perspective for you; I was TEN when this movie came out. I was in fourth or fifth grade. AND MY PARENTS LET ME SEE THIS IN THE THEATERS!!! I did not remember much from seeing this movie (I think I only saw it then, and then parts on TV) and now I know why - I had to have been traumatized and blocked those images from my mind. I mean, seriously. We had a lot of fun with it tonight, but there were definitely scenes that would have scarred me if I was only ten. Mostly the scenes of Jeff Goldblume lying propped up on his elbow with his shirt open and his hairy chest all glistening and sweaty (not to mention the curly half-mullet he was sporting). I mean, seriously... was he trying to be Fabio or something? By the way, I could have swore Jeff Goldblume was the one to die on the toilet - it's amazing at what your mind remembers. I knew Goldblume was in the movie, and I knew a guy died on the toilet - guess my mind decided it had to of been him. (it was really the money hungry lawyer for all of you wondering who it was... and those of you who actually remember that, bravo! only one from our clan did)

All in all a funtastic movie. Pet Peeve - people who pull up chairs in front of our prime spot. We had front row center at the Terrace (as we always do cuz I'm crazy psycho and show up super early) and then these people just decide that our spot is a good spot and pull up chairs right in front of us before the movie starts, with their big heads blocking our view. Unfortunately we didn't see them pulling up chairs, for if I had, I would have definitely put up a big old stink (and have them calling me a bitch under their breath as they walk away) If you want awesome seats, don't show up at 8:15 and expect to find some. Seriously now people!

I remember taking Nick to that movie and he GOT SUPER SCARED. At the time I thought he wa a big baby but man, maybe it was scary? I don't really remember the details of the movie at all... ugh.

Glad you had fun and I am suprised you didn't throw a huge fit at those people. What jerks.

I remember seeing that movie for the first time. I remember how real the dinosaurs looked when they first saw them, it was overwhelming in a way.

Sounds like a great place to hang out.

Wow you are young. I forget sometimes! I was in high school. I guess that means I am an old man!
