"Boy, do I hate being right all the time."

There's one really amazing thing about JURASSIC PARK: the first salvo of the Ford Explorer's marketing blitz exposed the vehicle as a non-dinosaur-proof rollover trap for human vermin, and yet somehow great numbers of Americans spent the next fifteen years in pursuit of SUVs.
It's the most depressing manner of irony - a movie about the dangers of greed manipulating nature instigated the "everybody needs a truck" policy that accelerated global warming, depleted fossil fuel reserves, and pretty much killed Detroit. Hmmm... more like this, please?
All this along with some pretty good scares, an A+ performance by Jeff Goldblum, and a couple of annoyingly imperiled children.
