"This book is a house with multiple doors, endless corridors and windows into eternity. No two readings of The Arcades Project can ever be identical. After you finish it, the way you perceive the city you live in won’t be the same again. Streets and arcades, modernity with its illusions and promises, all told through the eyes and wanderings of a flaneur…. It is an unfinished project, but then again, perhaps a book of this magnitude could never have a definite end. Benjamin is an extraordinary thinker, a lonely rebel, an odd revolutionary that doesn’t quite fit into any tribe, a man of immense intellect and hopeful despair, and in the words of Hannah Arendt, a failed mystic. I love all of that about him."

Not the best Jurassic movie but still ... dinosaurs
The follow-up to Jurassic World sees the cast trying to save the remaining dinosaurs from the erupting volcano on Isla Nublar. The inevitable terribly disguised bad-guys are exposed, along with the corporate greed financing them. While the film is enjoyable, and the action exciting, the whole plot hinges on people opening doors or pressing buttons that they should not press, but then that is the same with Jurassic World (people going into the Indo-Rex's enclosure and releasing it). Sets up the third instalment, which looks to be quite epic in scope.
Jeff Goldblum's role in the film is very minor compared to how much his return has been played in the media. It is a cameo at best.
