Charlie Rose - Michael Crichton

[tall32guy]

Good ol Michael! RIP Dr Crichton. :)

Sapere Aude - Dare to know! Dare to use your own intelligence, dare to question the authorities. Once the battle cry of the left - long long ago. Now, march in lockstep lest ye be labeled an 'infidel' right winger.

[Jpkingu2]

More than a great mind.

A Masterful spirit.

R.I.P.

[Entropy56]

I am skeptical that Charlie Rose is a chronic masturbator and pedophile. Any truth to it?

[SBorella1]

The Crichton Interviews on Charlie Rose can be found on Michael Crichton's website - on the world wide web. michael crichton dot com slash videos

[andrekisuke]

JP is the best!

[ColRon]

A truly incredible man

[TheBlackDouglas55]

He was my favorite author.... i've ready almost all of his books.....*sob*

[neoldd1]

There used to be several complete videos of the many interviews of Crichton on Charlie Rose here on You Tube. Now they are all gone. WHY????

[iDraw3G]

@neoldd1 just watch them at the charlie rose website, you idiot

[neoldd1]

@iDraw3G I have. Although several videos are still not available, like his testimony before the US Senate. You idiot.

[iDraw3G]

@neoldd1 Actually, that video IS available, you idiot: Epw dot senate dot gov slash epwmultimedia slash epw092805.ram

[neoldd1]

@iDraw3G Thanks for the info, you idiot.

A brilliant man. Will be terribly missed.

[ElFrankus]

There´s something wrong with this world...instead of focusing on his resumé, accomplishments etc, The obituaries all talk about how Michael was bad at writing Tridimensional characters (he wasn´t) and his Global warming stance, which I regard as a Footnote in his life.

[Nebel64]

Indeed.

[akrimony]

really true..i also am astounded over the fact that almost all the credit for creating dinosaurs went out to Steven Spielberg when the mere conception was Crichton's..don't u think?

[ColdPillowz]

@ElFrankus the same people that Michael Crichton warned us all about are the same people who own the news media and publishing outlets that are now smearing him. It is deliberate - make no mistake about it.

[8data]

why are comments on youtube misinterpreted

he was a climate change-global warming sxeptic

its not a question of wishing anyone dead, its just that in literature the ideology of what a person represents is also part of the times that he lives

anyways, perhaps i and everyone else on this forum should be less react, he was a climate change sxeptic, and he went out the last day of the bush administration as president elect, an admin that was also a climate change sxeptic

but he was a fascinating guy

[LisaNova]

Such a fascinating man.

[mccote]

Charlie interviews some fascinating people, and overall they're good interviews, but I hate how hes always putting words in their mouths and not letting them speak for themselves.

[8data]

He was the best person of USAs only great industry, Publishing

He passed the last day before the successor to President George W Bush was announced

he was an American original, and I imagine an impossible man to convince of anything including the crazy creationist nonsense of pseudo-science against climate change

[machngunjoe]

what are you talking about?

[8data]

i am typing that Michael was a victim of his own ideology

but that sounds wrong

anyways, hes gone, RIP

[machngunjoe]

USA has another great industry called Hollywood. right?

[13Elphaba13]

This guy acts really wierd.

[TheLogicJunkie]

A true class act. The world is that much more miserable without him in it.

[machngunjoe]

RIP, Jurassic Park and Sphere was pretty damn good

[CivilizedJerk]

Sphere was good?

[machngunjoe]

well no, it was bad but, it had alot of potential to be good. I liked after the second time seeing it

[Coonstafabio]

the book was good, but the movie i think wrecked it

[machngunjoe]

Yeah It got me thinking as a movie but really it was poorly constructed

[tanio12]

charlie stop tripping of course it's hard!

[spikesmth]

Rest in Peace. He was the first author I really READ outside of school literature. I read Jurassic Park in 4th grade and it was SIIIIICK. He's a visionary of sorts. I wonder what kind of ideas he's working on now with the greats, Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury... alas.

[machngunjoe]

You know its either Asimov or Clarke are exiled to Sri Lanka from their home country because of child molestation? One of them is known to have a mansion in Sri lanka with scores of little boys as....well sex slaves.

[spikesmth]

Yeah Clarke is a creeper for sure... but he writes tight books.

[CineCrab]

Uh-- A year after you wrote that and Bradbury is STILL alive.
