Hiram, There isn't enough money on this planet to persuade me to sit through another JP... or ANYthing else by Crichton. :p His first dinosaur movie was so bad that I didn't see the others. I was the one in the theatre screaming "Get her! Get her! Eat her!" etc. when the humans were doing particularly stupid things (like wandering around alone), but then I always cheer for the intelligent side. Anyway, we'd also need some motivation for the skeletal dinosaurs. Hunger probably wouldn't be logical. Hunting for the remains of Sue and the rest of their family would let the film-makers trash a city or two as the dinos seek out the museums... but searching for lost kin has been done to death. Maybe the radioactivity is eating away their bones from the inside and they are suffering incredible pain? Carolly
