Mary had an inspired idea to watch Jurassic Park, as a sort of summer blockbuster in the heat of summer. We had a great time re-watching it–and it makes me want to pick up the book again, which I haven't read since 7th or 8th grade.

Here's a pretty great "adaptation." I remember this was on TV long ago, although I don't remember the context.
