Have seen + read Jurassic Park. Have also read The Lost World.

Six year old me begged my mom to take me to see Jurassic Park. She wisely didn't give in.

Could come up with "Clement" but not "Moore."
Have both seen and read Jurassic Park
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

First sweep in a few months, although I've still never had an 8/8. Technically the country one should be a (duct tape)- since I had Jamaica and Jordan after 15 seconds but not Japan yet- but I know I would've gotten it in 30 seconds.
Hoping for a third lap

Had only Jamaica. Probably would've gotten Tuesday if I had more time.

Bummed about picking Chaplin and forgetting Welles on Mon...less concerned about only Japan coming to mind Wed...Perfectly happy about a lucky guess on Fri...
No need to know the Disney villain since I had the Classic Comics version as a kid... :geek:

First 5/5 in a while.

I think I've seen more animated Disney movies than I haven't, but Hunchback falls into the "haven't". I think I got all the others.

I've both seen and read Jurassic Park. I think I read it first, or at least I started reading it before I saw it. I've also played the LEGO video game based on the movies, though I've only seen two of them.

Chaplin on Monday. Could not believe that I forgot about Welles and could not come up with Jordan in 30 seconds.

Read Jurassic Park and saw the first two movies.

Got my sixth 5/5 of the season and my second 8/8!
Instagets M, Tu, & F, with a super-instaget Thursday from just "This 1990 novel."
On Wednesday, Japan and Jamaica came right away but Jordan alluded me until very late in the think music.
I have a nice edition of A Visit from St. Nicholas with C. Clement Moore emblazoned on it.
Not a fan but Mötley Crüe was one of my pre-calls in that category.
Got Frollo more from Victor than Walt.
Both read and seen Jurassic Park.
I would prefer not to.
