doors that magically change between open and shut
To quote Dennis Nedry "Some of the minor systems, they might go on or off but it’s ah, nothing to worry about, just a simple thing". Obvious really.

movie player bars when we're supposedly watching a live video conversation,
iplayer has the same thing. It means you can skip back and forwards during live TV. JP was just ahead of it's time... it was a Unix system afterall.

I cannot get past the Tyrannosaurus paddock problem, where the ground magically drops 100 feet between T. rex's escape and Grant's/Lex's descent on the wire. I cannot think of a reasonable justification.
Never heard of erosion? From Wikipedia: "In geomorphology and geology, erosion is the action of exogenic processes (such as water flow or wind) which remove soil and rock from one location on the Earth's crust, then transport it to another location where it is deposited". Remember Hurricane Clarissa was in full effect during the T.Rex padock incident, which could easily have caused the necessary water and wind damage to displace the earth beyond the fence. Also nobody would have heard the rapid subsidence over all the screaming and nashing of teeth.
There you go, hope that helped.
