What a shame.

Oh shit. He seemed like kind of a douchebag though. I really loved Jurassic Park.

Michael Crowley is raping a baby right now in celebration.

sucks to be him

i tore through all his books as a kid. they were fun.

Jurassic park got me into reading and I quickly read all of his other books. RIP, thanks for the great books guy.

he can't hear you.

i tried to read Timeline. it was pretty bad.

then it got made into a movie, and i didn't go see it. i heard it was pretty bad too.

RIP

I thought Jurrasic Park was the best thing ever. He's kind of a horrible writer and a horrible person in hindsight, though.

I just don't understand why the awesome books of his I read as a teen ended up as shitty movies.

Fucking Sharon Stone...

he was such a douchebag but man the andromeda strain is badass

Jurassic Park>Congo>Sphere>Andromeda Strain>Rising Sun>>>>>>>>>

i saw that in theatres by myself. it was okay, i guess. you gotta figure that most movies put in theatres have to be semi-okay. i think paul walker was in it. he's hot.

Between this and Obama's grandmother dying the day before he gets elected, I'm starting to wonder what other strangely-timed death is going to happen next.

when is m night shamalalalalalalalyayan gonna die?

he is dead. the sixth sense was his autobiography.

He's dead Jim.

Yeah I read a lot of his books too when I was in my teens. Why was he a douchebag? I never really heard anything personal about him.

That's probably the stupidest thing I've ever read on this board.

Michael Crichton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#Criticism)


In his 2006 novel Next (released November 28 of that year), Crichton introduced a character named "Mick Crowley" who is a Yale graduate and a Washington D.C.-based political columnist. "Crowley" was portrayed by Crichton as a child molester with a small penis.

Holy fuck...

A real person named Michael Crowley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crowley) is also a Yale graduate, and a senior editor of The New Republic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Republic), a left-leaning Washington D.C.-based political magazine. In March 2006, the real Crowley had written an article strongly critical of Crichton for his stance on global warming in State of Fear.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference">[25] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#cite_note-24)</sup>


Haha.

Holy fuck...

Yeah, I read a story about the whole "small penis" thing. Apparently, when an author wants to use someone's real name for a character with bad attributes, they'll say the character has a small penis because who would want to sue an author if it meant being the "guy with the small penis" for the rest of your life?
