… Im now invested in what happens next
What were they working on?
What happens over the next 20 seconds?
It's from the Jurassic Park novel. Spoiler: It kinda goes downhill from there (both the situation and the franchise).
The latest one wasn't bad, just same story again, nothing original except more water and dumb choices.
It felt very lifeless, they tried to create interesting background stories for the main characters, but it felt super forced and it was completely irrelevant to the rest of the movie. Also they lazily copied the famous kitchen scene in JP1
Also they lazily copied ...
In film school, that's called an homage. /s
I've always called it Quentin Tarantino's entire fucking career.
I loved Crichton, but goddamned does he over explain tech.
The log was a record of the system over the last few hours.
If readers may not be familiar, he could help them infer that from character actions or dialog.
"Well Wu? What's the log say the system's been doing over the last few hours?", said Arnold
Congo was maybe the worst for techsplaining. Still a great novel!
I love the movie, but my spouse talked me into reading the book and it's an absolute masterpiece. Michael Crichton is to science what Steven king is to scary.
The tongue scene was easily the worst thing I've ever read.
This was the first Crichton novel I read, and it got me into his other works. Most of them have the common theme of:
- There's a secret science place where science happens
- At event causes people not normally associated with the secret science place to have to go to the secret science place
- The secret science at the secret science place goes horribly wrong
- The secret science place blows up in the end
That formula doesn't really detract from any of his books, but I did laugh when I had read enough of his catalog to see the pattern.
Is that when the T-rex brings Dr. Ellie Sattler to a quivering orgasm?
