Project Comment InterviewsEvery two weeks, we will be interviewing commenters and volunteers at #ProjectComment, specifically revolving around their life on deviantART and, the purpose of #ProjectComment, constructive comments.
We sincerely hope you enjoy reading the sixty-first interview of this series with =astarayel! If you have a spare moment, feel free to :+favlove: the news article, too.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello everyone! :wave: I’m Lauren, a recent university graduate, movie aficionado, book-lover, and music addict. If you’re into Middle East relations, the Avengers, Michael Crichton, or classic rock, we’re probably going to be good friends. And if you’re not, we’re probably going to be good friends anyway, because I just like people. :)
Why are you on deviantART?
Initially, I joined deviantART as a way to get exposure and feedback on my own art—I’m incredibly shy about showingProject Comment Interviews by #ProjectComment

Reading your interview at PC reminded me of our collab^^ I'm going to get myself together and finish working on the sketch this weekend (gosh, life and everything else has been too busy lately) >.>
How are you doing? :)

Aww, thanks for reading! I completely understand about life--take your time, darlin'!

Things are great! I've been working a lot and trying to save up some money for a new computer, since mine's on the outs. Otherwise, I'm reading a lot and seeing new movies. Iron Man 3 :heart: How are you?

Of course I read it ;) It was a great read!

Glad to hear you're doing fine! Sounds pretty much like what I'm doing :lol: I'm saving money for a new graphics tablet since mine won't hold out that much longer. Reading a lot too, and I'll be going to the cinema in the next few weeks pretty often as well :D Iron Man 3 :la:

Oooh, what model tablet are you going for? I just got a new one a few months ago and it's fantastic. :D

Do you have any favorite books to recommend? I'm always looking for something to read!

I really liked your interview and the points that you brought up. We also have a lot in common based off of some of your interests ;) Movies, books, Avengers and Jurassic Park ftw! =D

Thank you so much! They're fantastic, both of them. Who's your favorite JP character?

Aw man, I don't think I have one ^^;
Though the characters that stuck out to me the most were Malcolm and Nedry.

I guess I was paying attention to the other aspects, like the tonal differences between the book and the movie, the plot, and of course, the dinosaurs :XD:

Malcolm is a definite favorite. I was a bit disappointed that Hammond's darker/more evil side was hidden and that he ended up being a more sympathetic character.

What did you think was the most unfortunate difference between the movie and the book?
