Plus he actually died and was buried at the end of JP and summarily resurrected without explanation by the timeless author Chriten

[redbreegull]

uh rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated, I'm pretty sure it says it on the first page

Uh

The Lost World was the only sequel Michael Crichton wrote, and he saw it as a challenge. The title was of course a reference to Arthur Conan Doyle, whose 1912 novel told of explorers visiting a remote plateau to confront dinosaurs. Michael Crichton borrowed another trick from Conan Doyle’s sequels —he brought a character back to life. Conan Doyle resuscitated Sherlock Holmes, even though he fell to his death at the Reichenbach Falls; Michael brought back Ian Malcolm, a favorite of readers and filmgoers.

& apparently lost the personality that made him a breakout character along the way

[Run To Me]

The story goes that Spielberg approached Critchton and asked him: hey write this book I'm gonna do another and I want to base it off a book of yours

So, timeless Chriten decides to shamelessly retcon Ian back to life cause audiences loved goldblums portrayal of him

[Trotskilicious]

goldblum is so oddly charming in an aloof sort of half asleep dandy kinda way, he's an american treasure

[LaBelle]

I read both books around the same time and have some vivid memories of the first, can barely remember anything from the second. Aside of it taking place on a second island, which is real dumb.

I kinda love how awful the second movie is though.

[Trotskilicious]

yeah the movie is terrible too, my friend & i went to see it in high school and by the mid part of the 2nd act--i remember its when the guy can't see the water ripple that would warn him of a tyrannosaur coming (tm and c jurassic park) because he's listening to something really loud on his headphones--we started heckling it & the four or five people in the theater were laughing with us

[Disco King]

Never read any but they sound like a ripoff of Billy and the Cloneasaurus tbh

[Trotskilicious]

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!! I MEAN WHAT WERE YOU THINKING...oh i mean, thank you come again!

[reprise85]

i remember trying to read the lost world and thinking it was terrible. and also the lost world movie started with what was at the beginning of the jurassic park book? or something like that. some kid on an island thinking a lizard or something washed up but it was really a little dinosaur... or something. it was the beginning of one of the books and one of the movies but not the same ones know what im saying?

and i remember the oral presentation i did in 6th grade and explaining to everyone that basically everyone dies in the book, unlike the movie

No aux sux dix but you can buy CDs for crazy cheap, keep em in a big wallet in your trunk

Your response to the lack of an auxiliary input is to set up a mobile pirate radio station?

[FoolofaTook]

Just got back from the dentist. Smoked a bowl with half of my mouth numb.

Weird.

[vixnix]

jeff goldblum is an OK pianist, too. he's just also a self satisfied asshat.

So, we leave for Singapore in 18 days. I should probably be doing something else right now, like stapling these garage sale posters I made, around the neighbourhood

[FoolofaTook]

Doyles lost world pwns.

i worship prof challenger, his supercilious eyelids and his assyrian beard.

Did this once when they numbed half my face to remove a fibroma

Wasn't supposed to "smoke" for like 48 hrs after the surgery but obvs they meant cigarettes and not gentle healing weeeeeeeeeeeee e eeeed, i reasoned

[Trotskilicious]

that would be incorrect

[redbreegull]

the trick is to use a straw to smoke out of your bowl or joint allowing the smoke to breeze past your teeth without contact

There's got to be a pseudo-effortless alternative to this that only requires an internet connection and two minutes of your time.

If there aren't already a bunch of Sydney garage sales groups on Facebook, I'd be as surprised as a Lebanese immigrant that just survived a day at Cronulla Beach.

he said there was a removal, its about smoke getting in the holes in your skull and causing dry socket

[slunken]

and therefore using a straw to create a sucking motion would be the worst possible thing

[Trotskilicious]

everybody's just so chock full of bullshit its quite incredible

[Trotskilicious]

tbqf i'm not sure if thats the reason why you don't want to smoke after dental surgery, i had an extraction & they told me it could cause drysocket and i still smoked like 2 or 3 cigarettes because i was a relentless addict that was hooked on poison

i didn't smoke pot then because there was no need to, not this all consuming mindmenlting NEED FOR WEED that doesn't happen. it can become habitual & abusive (and it has) but its not addiction. i quit smoking cigarettes. thats some shit. not smoking weed for a couple days doesn't want you to pull your eyes out of your sockets and scream at the heavens
