Amazing many of the points he brings up 20 years ago are MAJOR issues in the mainstream today.

[@PokemonHaloFan]

My all time favorite author. Such an incredibly intelligent man who was so far ahead of his time.

[@donsreptiles4602]

the way Michael talks is exactly how I imagined ian malcolm's voice before i saw the movie

[@overlex]

Calvin’s Reptiles Ian Malcolm is the smartest man in his 1st JP novel!

[@Smee319]

Reaeding the novel, you definitely get the impression that Ian Malcolm is Crichton's author surrogate.

[@jovictor]

Yes it's 2021 when the books came out I was too young. But I am amazed after reading it this week. And when I heard him, that's what I was thinking!

[@robynp8697]

"Why is technology is shrinking the diversity of ideas?" They were talking about this 27 years ago. Wonder what they would say now?

[@nickgaming_2519]

Jurassic park and The Lost World are the best books in the World!

[@LeoWhalen1933]

NickGaming_25 They are great indeed.

[@barakoniner1644]

Yup. Sphere was really good too

[@jsfbr]

👏👏👏 Agreed!

I’m glad that I bought and read both Jurassic Park and The Lost World Novels they are incredible and amazing books.

my nigga went to harvard for fun, jurassic park is the shit... ill have to read the rest of books

[@ForeverBennett]

This guy wore so many hats. Very talented individual... and TALL!

[@aslan9334]

miss him :(

[@IThinkItsForYou]

What a dashing gent he was!!

[@killerbee2562]

It's interesting that he seemed to already be thinking of state of fear even thought that book didn't come out for nine years.

[@anthroposlogica9379]

As a writer myself, Ideas stay in mind forever until they're written down. Sometimes it's just ideas that can't be strung together...yet

[@gabethedinosaur95]

I just started writing my own novel about an island with dinosaurs and other animals even a 25th wolf 🐺 that lives on the island and that how’s i got inspired to write it and make it different than Jurassic Park or lost world novel cause I wanted it to be story for me .

[@michellew.3691]

This Interview is GOLD!

[@s1050]

Crichton was obviously a very intelligent guy. Society has dumbed down so much since the 90s. He was a real free thinker not blinded by politics. Especially his view on feminism. There’s no one talking sense like Crichton these days.

[@NateTrucker92]

I'm curious, what were his views on feminism? I've never read about that

[@ericjohnson2515]

We aren’t dumber, but the discourse is.

[@excorsisam]

They should have included the raptors attacking the high hide scene in the movie

[@chrisdawson6156]

This guy is really amazing I am a huge fan of Jurassic park and have been since my 10th birthday he is sadly missed we all miss you Micheal R.I.P.

[@lisa78419]

I read the novel Jurassic Park in 5 days and the Lost World in 4 days!

[@mightisright]

I read just about all of his novels as a teen and the first Jurassic Park is the only one that really hit it out of the park as a movie for me (The Andromeda Strain and 13th Warrior were good, though). It still annoys me my favorite of his novels, Sphere, turned out so bad as a movie. Since Hollywood is only capable of rebooting and remaking these days they should take another shot at that one.

[@TroyBlackford]

mightisright Yeah, Sphere is my favorite too and the film was abominable. It's a quintessential novel though: all the great aspects would be so hard to capture in a movie. No excuse for the trash they hit us with, though. I was in 8th grade when it came out and so excited it was being made into a film, and I just was so mad. If a 13 year old hates a big budget, big name adaptation of one of his all-time favorite novels, the movie clearly *sucks*. Even today, I often feel like I enjoyed a bad movie until I have a couple days to think about it but that one had me mad as I was leaving the theater.

[@KunaiForce]

Sphere was my favorite. I hope HBO tv series does it justice

[@melancholiac]

Annoyingly, Sphere is not available on Kindle. Which stops me enjoying it.

[@Legoflymaster89]

He was a renaissance man!

[@bijeerani]

I loved the book.. but they didn't use the best parts of the book in the movie. Esp the characterization of Sarah

[@eaurota]

it's a shame all the great story and discussion in crichton's book (both first and second) were really diluted to almost nothing in the films!

[@kylesmith8061]

They're both great. I call them the secret great American novels

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Well they normally don't make 10 hour films! But yes, I agree with you For the most part. There are some great, intelligent rants made by Malcolm that rivaled his lunchtime spat with Hammond in the first one. In the second one, most of the heavy dialogue is given by Thorne and Levine, who do not appear in the movie, unfortunately.

[@jimeddinger2167]

Totally agree. If they followed the book in the second film, it would have been received much better. The story line in the movie is far-reaching and difficult to accept as believable.

[@shine01120]

I loved the books. I did enjoy the first movie, the second one was too different to the book, and that San Diego part just ruined the movie for me.

[@hmpz36911]

I want a film of just Hammond and Wu's discussions on genetics

[@bobshrubb3067]

Thank you Michael so much for the gift of Jurassic Park

[@BLAISEDAHL96]

Any way we could get a high quality upload from Charlie roses website?

[@nicedream1990]

I bet he felt amazing after that intro they gave him. I would feel like God.

[@gabethedinosaur95]

Jurassic Park lost world are one of my favorite books . I’ve read Jurassic Park 7 times and the lost world 5 times . I’m excited to read Jurassic Park for the 8th time and 6th time for lost world and again next year for Jurassic world dominon

[@AntonDoesMusic]

I think Charlie Rose has a terrible habit of trying to finish the interviewee's sentences and put his words in his/her mouth. He never just asks a question outright; he has to halfway answer it for them in three different ways before he finally shuts up.

[@SierraYankee7]

I'm not sure about his other interviews.. but definitely in this one.

[@sunnyparmar7090]

You know it's not an engaging interview when the interviewer does that. Charlie definitely did, but I think it's because he was completely unprepared for the way Crichton speaks. Crichton speaks often in a low voice, he pauses for contemplation or emphasis, and chooses his words carefully. Charlie wanted the conversation to go as he imagines it's supposed to in his head so that's why he filled in so many words.

[@Peringa55]

+Sunny Parmar i agree, there was times Crichton would just stare on silence, so i feel like Charlie was trying to instigate Crichton to talk more

[@Lucyim]

They were best friends.

[@TroyBlackford]

Agreed. Several points you could see Crichton had a longer, thought-out path he was navigating in a complex answer, and Groper McGee cut him off and changed topic by glomming on to an offhand remark that was just an element of Crichton's response. Like the part about becoming either a surgeon or a psychiatrist, and before Michael could talk about the allure Psychiatry had for him at all, Rose is off asking him about directing films because of a metaphor Crichton made between being a boat captain and a movie director (and a surgeon). It's like: let the goddamn genius answer your question, and stop sexually harassing women who work for you!

Possibly the most intelligent, attractive, charismatic man alive. Enough about me. Now, Mr. Crichton is an amazing example of no limits success.

[@bordertown]

Hard to believe both these men are the same age yet Crichton looks 20 years younger than Rose.

[@Chrisdvc26]

Crichton barely moves his facial muscles.

[@JamesWattMusic]

RIP Crichton

[@mothcorrupteth]

There have been three science fiction series/titles that have been formative in my worldview: Robert A. Heinlein's juvenile fiction (especially _Tunnel in the Sky_ and _Starship Troopers_ , the latter of which was originally written as a juvenile title), Joss Whedon's _Firefly_ , and Michael Crichton's _Jurassic Park/The Lost World_ . All three have led me to a general outlook of Hayekian evolutionary libertarianism (moderated in more recent years by the authoritarianism of Metternich as I've grown to recognize the problems with conventional libertarianism in the light of Game Theory--namely that socialists are alway-defectors who can't be counted on to observe the NAP, even in iterative play). Even if he was right about a lot of things, Heinlein was bombastic and closed-minded. Whedon, we've learned in recent weeks, is just another creepy beta male feminist. But as we can see from this interview, Crichton was humble, open-minded, compassionate, but not afraid to be politically incorrect, if that's where the research took him. Out of all three, I admire Crichton the most.

[@TroyBlackford]

Fascinating interview answers. Never saw a long form Crichton interview before. Glad Charlie Rose didn't sexually assault Michael on stage, also.

[@michellemuskeyn329]

Troy Blackford what do you mean? Did he really sexually assault someone?

[@TroyBlackford]

Michelle Muskeyn Haven't you seen the news? He's had his shows taken away and more and more people are accusing him of stuff going back decades and happening recently, too. Rose was a serial sexual predator who has lost his career and diagraced himself. Sucks, because a) it's awful for his victims, of course and b) he's done tons of long, interesting (but interrupt-y) interviews with authors I love like Crichton and Stephen King that are now hard to fully enjoy.

[@michellemuskeyn329]

No I haven’t been watching a lot of TV lately. I’m on vacation. That’s terrible!!! Thanks for the info.

[@hmpz36911]

Charlie Rose sexually assaulting Crichton onstage would be disturbingly hilarious, tbh. Like a quick pat to the sac, and Michael's like "dude, wtf?".

[@charliesthill4790]

I doubt if rose ever raped anyone. I know he was accused of that , but was it ever proven true?

[@user-dc4bl1cu2k]

The sequel was a mistake. Jurassic Park in itself as a novel and film stands perfectly.

[@Dektoonics_inc.]

Sigh......

Feels good knowing Michael Crichton would shit on these sjw types R.I.P Mr. Crichton

[@markw.loughton6786]

the lost world is a fantastic novel. Crichton's novel was half hearted. shame. guy was a fucking awesome author.

[@ab9957]

I thought climate change killed several of my friends when they dropped off facebook. Turns out I was just an asshole and they unfriended me.

[@Levinewak]

I feel if Crichton were alive today he’d be expressing his concerns about technology particularly the alt right

[@MrTheblob123]

[@maxamillion5175]

Charlie rose is so damn unpleasant. He’s too intense.

[@BatSTUD]

Charlie Rose always has to act like the smartest guy in the room...even when he absolutely isn't. Annoying.

[@guileniam]

The lost world isnt a good story?! Crichton's a genius but fuck that Conan Doyles work is awesome

[@guileniam]

Blue Tank Engine Pictures Hes talking about the original Lost World....yeah Ive read it its good pulp

[@zackinblack]

The lost world book was trash, It was so drug out and really was not his best work

What?, the novel and film are awesome

[@kishjugo4685]

It's awe inspiring to see such an intelligent man subscribe to complete buffoonery. The poor fool is in hell now. May God allow some of us to escape the madness of the revolution.

[@JonnieDarkoNDG]

Huh?

[@SonnyViceR]

Kish Jugo You make no sense.

[@4713Caine]
