From my Instagram account- @the.theropod.squad =I first got started as a Jurassic fan after watching the Nostalgia Critic's review of the first movie. I hadn't seen it in years, but he praised the film highly, something the Critic rarely does. I decided to give it another watch, and it just took my breath away. Not long after, the first trailer for Jurassic World dropped, and I immediately had my heart set on seeing it opening night. Now, between that time and the release of the film, my friend Patrick told me that his dad got a job in Nebraska and he'd be moving in June. Patrick was the only member of my elementary school friend group not to have moved by the time we entered High School. Facing 10th grade with all of them gone TERRIFIED me. To my disappointment, I didn't get to see the film opening night. It also came to my attention that Patrick had never seen the original Jurassic Park. On the fourteenth of June, I biked to Patrick's house and insisted that he watch the movie that night, because he was going to see Jurassic World with me the next day. He watched the movie and enjoyed it thoroughly, and we saw JW together. When the movie got out, I was in tears for two reasons: The first was I had just seen an incredible film with a beautiful ending. The second was because I knew I would probably never see Patrick again, as I would be on vacation by the time he left for Nebraska. That's why I'm so grateful for this community, the Jurassic Park/World community, for welcoming me and interacting with me and just being a bunch of great, fun, knowledgeable people I'm grateful for Colin Trevorrow, @prattprattpratt, for  @brycedhowardChrisAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME a reality... Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone, and for those who don't' celebrate it, enjoy yourself today anyway. =
