Tom is all of a month older than me, so it amuses me that he was the same age as I was when Jurassic Park and Ace Ventura came out and he still carries the same love of them. Although, the strongest memory of Jurassic Park for me was the fact that I had raging double ear infections when we went and saw it opening night, and I was right next to a theatre speaker and the dinosaur noises were so loud they actually helped break up some of the infection inside my head. Hurt like a total bitch, but effective.
My mother was old enough that she remembered when color was added to movies and how we took that for granted, along with running water and electricity and television, so I imagine in 50 years, teenagers will look back on our special effects and think the same thing.
