Raking in $652 million in the United States alone, Jurassic World was by far the highest grossing movie this year. It also currently holds the title of the third highest grossing of all time, though I expect the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie, out December 13th, to beat Jurassic World handily, but let’s save that for…
Jurassic World is open. The movie producers have gone to great lengths to make us imagine that Jurassic World is real, that it really exists, that you could buy a ticket and go there right now. How?

One month it has been since I last posted anything to this website. Sure, this website has endured much longer hiatuses than this, but I can’t stay away. I miss writing too much.
