The Text:
This week’s chapter is “Plans,” spanning from pg. 52 – 58.
Grant and Sattler receive a package containing the
blueprints to Hammond’s island resort, and it’s suspicious spaciousness and
fortifications suggest it looks like a zoo with military upgrades. Before
leaving on Hammond’s chopper, Grant must secure a fossil on Hill Four, and with
the use of a CAST device, gets a good look at the velociraptor skeleton, and
imagines what it must have been like in real life. Then he’s whisked away by
Ellie to get to Choteau by five p.m.
Discussions surround paleontology, Defense!, Ellie Sattler, Easter eggs, Revenues, guests and park design, and a special section comparing a scene in this chapter called:
"… more like an oversized Turkey!"
Corrections:
Finally, and only because we spoke about the film with a bit more formality that usual, I’d like to include a lesson provided to us by Paleo Joe in the episode New York.
I’ve always thought the scene in Jurassic Park where that kid at the dig site confronts Alan Grant on whether or not a velociraptor was scary was the dumbest, most contrived moment in film – but Paleo Joe was very good at explaining that:
A) Volunteers are invaluable at a dig site, so there it’s not out of question to have a random assortment of folks there to chip in; and
B) when they’ve got an idea in their head, they’re incredibly bold about their observations.
So … that scene holds WAY more water than I would have given it credit. Thanks to Joe for adding new layers to my viewing of Jurassic Park that I hadn’t considered before.
Warning: Side effects include both constipation and diarrhea. Sorry about that.
