      Mostly true but if you look at the dialogue between Hammond and Nedry in the movie, Hammond still shortchanges Nedry. Nedry points out that he's pretty much the only computer guy running the Park for "three days". And Hammond is like "Sorry about your financial problems, Dennis, I really am, but they are your problems."
      Hammond's still a dick.

    I read this in elementary school. I used a dictionary for words I didnt understand. It took a long time. I didnt fully understand everything but it helped me get ahead of the curve. I started reading at a higher level and got into writing. I love the mystery in the beginning. And how a lot of it almost feels like non fiction. Its a masterpiece.

The story with the movie casting that I’ve heard is that Spielberg had promised the actor who played Tim a role after he wasn’t cast in an earlier film. So he cast him in Jurassic Park and decided to cast an older girl as his sister because he felt audiences wouldn’t be comfortable with such a young child being chased by dinos. I seem to remember an interview with Michael Crichton where he joked that Spielberg was more forgiving than he was. 😂

      A large part of the audience for the movie when it released in 1993 were older children and young teenagers. Making it R rated would have meant losing that audience, and a lot of money. People always seem to forget that some things in the entertainment industry were very different in the 90s. You couldn't make an R rated movie out of something that might have appeal to kids, not like you can now. It's the same reason that the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie has very little blood. So the Jurassic movie HAD to be considerably toned down and altered from the book, at the time there was just no way to avoid that

      @@Legendary_Bleu "We all know" only because of all the context we have available to us now. He was not widely perceived that way during his lifetime. He obviously didn't do anything new after death, but from what I can tell there was very little appreciation among the general public for how not-so-great some of the stuff he did was until much later. This is reflected in his companies trajectory too, which went from a shoe-in among the most reputable companies in the world on one of those regular public perception polls to somewhere around 80 in the 2010's. Precipitous decline in public opinion.
      EDIT: Crichton surely could have known that Walt was a bad guy, but books published well into the 2000's were still perceived as bringing new offenses/reasons to not like him to light.

    Something about the book and the movie that are so alike and yet so different that make me love them both. The movie is magical, whimsical, colorful characters, suspense and action and one of the greatest action packed endings in cinema. But the book is grim, depressing even. Very graphic and hard R and a lot more people die. There’s very little magical moments and it’s just straight “everything is awful.” From the get go. lol a lot of sub plots and kinds a lack luster ending. But man the middle of the book from the T. rex attack to blowing up the raptors is just so much fun. I love both versions in their own ways.

      He could also have started with herbivores whilst getting the park security and operation up to snuff. Then, once the excitement around herbivores faded, which it would because we are particularly fascinated by carnivores, he could introduce one or two carnivores every couple of years. This would give them time to flush out a lot of the bugs in the system and study the carnivores and their behavior to develop the best possible containment system for them. Also, they could modify the carnivores to be more manageable as Wu suggested.

    it has others species combine in it like the snake boomslag or the Inland taipan that have hemotoxin venoms.
    but the poison does not act so quickly and the komodo dragons bacteria take a long time to decompose the meat like a hole 24h to really do some damage to the flesh not one hour 🥶

    He writes a good story, with an accuracy that is uncanny. I know as I was a young molecular biologist at similar biotech start ups in the late 80s, although I only ever worked on commercial human therapeutics. A few good products amongst a sea of what were investor scams, a huge difference between what we knew internally and what was spun to the media and the investors. Companies greedy to avoid missing out on huge profits invested millions in essentially nothing, somewhat unethical as we conducted human trials on products we knew wouldn’t work, just to increase the size of product portfolios. Although in fairness we also knew they wouldn’t do harm to the foreign students that we ran the experiments on, poor foreign students made the best volunteers!
