and in this week's edition of...

Probably because all the recent Michael Crichton books have been shit.
Prey - wank.

 

not read it. in fact, I've not read anything he's written since Congo,
which was fairly shit.

But his early stuff was OK, and the movie adaptations were really very
good compared to a lot of the rest of the dross from the early 70s.

 

I don't like the later stuff. Airframe was the last decent one I read.

I remember reading Jurassic Park when it first came out, and being
bowled over by the idea of cloning dinosaurs from blood in insects
trapped in amber.

I asked The Doctor if it was feasible and she was knocked out by the
concept. The answer was: "Well, yes, ish, assuming a lot of other things
went OK, you might."

I also got turned on enough by the chaos theory stuff in it to read a
bit further.

Shame the film left out a lot of the intelligent stuff, really.

 

You're using a definition of "decent" I've yet to come across.

The Harry Potter films did the same.

 

I've just watched the remake of Sleuth. I'm not sure if it was worth
remaking or not. At least it wasn't crap, I suppose.

<wanders off to find the original>

 

Who was in it?

I#d do that, only I think I should go to bed.

 

Jude Law & Michael Caine (playing the other role this time).

 

Gentlemen's Relish in a sort of marble jar? Used to love that.

Whoops - Pat's ready to go. Off to Samoens for a week. Bye!

 

That's the stuff. Main lining on anchovies.

<Envious>

Hoping they may be might just some snow left still in the espace Sancy
in 10 days or so.

, they shoudl have called it the Los Angelese job and be done with it

 

By that yardstick, they should be re-making most of Caine's back
catalogue.

Whilst not necessarily disagreeing with the sentiment, I fail to see the
connection.
