My all time favorite fiction writer. I never read anything from him that didn't keep me on the edge of my seat from cover, to cover. We lost him way to soon
We still have no one who can fill Crichton's shoes and replace him. He was the ultimate science fiction "technical" writer. As you read, he was actually teaching you contemporaneous, timely topics on the crest of science.
One of my favorite writers. Fell in love with Crichton’s work when I first read Andromeda Strain, then read his novels under his ghost name of John Lange. Couldn’t wait for his next novel to come out. Miss his writing.
@@peabody3000 Does he give a reason? Most deniers are motivated by greed or comfort, i.e., not wanting to give up their profits or their pleasures/conveniences. (Although they cannot admit that even to themselves). But I don't see him falling into either camp, what was his reasoning?
@@heidikickhouse- i think he simply believed the deluge of denialist propaganda. he always fancied himself as scientific, and if he was politically conservative as i am guessing, then he was exposed to a lot of cooked up science carefully crafted by oil companies and co.. my whole family is all climate change deniers, i know all the main talking points well. unfortunately crichton was very effective for the denialists, he gave high-profile speeches and wrote pieces railing against the concept
@@heidikickhouse-, only one of his novels deals with this topic ("state of fear") and it offers a documentation enclosed. Also i believe to have watched one or more crichton speeches concerning climate on yt. Some people being very successful might prefer not to believe in man made cc because so they can comfortably enjoy their wealth. Cc is used to hide the essential problem and that is much to many humans on earth. But since capitalism depends on growth media will never concentrate on this lethal danger and therefore we are doomed.
Fascinating to hear people talk about computers 50 years ago like they were some distant, mysterious, unknowable force. Here we are today, and it's a facet of every interaction of our lives and I would argue we understand less than ever about the real effect of man-machine interaction.
He actually graduated from Harvard Medical School as an MD but never bothered to obtain a license to practice medicine. He was also postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, researching public policy. He taught courses in anthropology at Cambridge University and writing at MIT.
What a good guy was Michael Cricthton. If you've not read his book of personal essays, 'Travels', then do--it's just terrific, not least his explorations of the sixth-sense and the supernatural. He had a wonderfully dry wit, as is obvious here. Thanks for uploading.
The book was great. Movie was OK, but Sharon Stone? Reading the book I was not picturing Sharon Stone at all. Ending was a disappointment- the final twist was missing.
Jeeezus I thought I was seeing things. 6' 9'', according to Google. I knew the name, but couldn't think why. I do now of course, but his work doesn't interest me, or the film adaptations. What we call, a STRAPPING young man, who looks so healthy--yet died aged 66, of Cancer. That made me look for the date of this prog. Someone says it's 50 yrs ago. Incredible. !
One of the best books I ever read was crichton's account of medical school and some trips he took with friends to other countries. One of the trips involved going to a brothel where him and his friends were greeted by a small underage girl that was probably not even 10 years old which made him run out but his friends stayed.i think they were in thailand.
He considered this autobiographical book his favourite. The title is "travels". It is very interesting to read but i am quite sure he was always willing to bend truth for effect and sales. Example: there is one very sexed up episode describing his treatment of an attractive patient. And concerning your episode above: they were three and left one of them politely behind, no drama. The book is very readable, covering different topics, and highly entertaining.
I’ve loved Crichton’s movies but it wasn’t til this year that I discovered ‘him’. RIP That being said, I do think there’s tremendous utility in a psychologist computer program (if it’s programmed with the integrity and of the highest of standards). They mentioned it doesn’t have a voice or the presence of a human, which in part is absolutely valid. However the inverse also has validity due the fact it can’t bring in baggage, personal biases, prejudices, or the ignorance one gets when they don’t focus on school for semester. Point being, there’s valuable insight to be gained or utility as check n balance on the therapist themselves (if program was privy to all doctor-patient sessions.
Heres a list of movies Im surprised were NOT written by Crichton whether based on books he wrote or whether they'd been directly written and even directed by him considering they definitely seem like his kinda works 1.Flatliners 2.Black Rain (1989) 3.the Terminator movies 4.Silent Rage (1982) 5.the Tremors movies 6.Mimic 7.The 6th Day 8.Eraser 9.Edge of Darkness (1985 miniseries) 10.Hollow Man 11.the Cube movies 12.Extreme Measures (1996) 13.The Abyss 14.The Arrival (1996) 15.Judgment Day (1999) 16.Demon Seed (1977) 17.Link (1986) 18.Daybreakers 19.Project X (1987) 20.Class of 1999 21.Outlander (2008 movie not related to tv series) 22.John Q 23.Solo (1996) 24.No Escape (1994) 25.the Fortress movies 26.Lockout 27.Geostorm 28.Elysium 29.Chappie 30.District 9 31.Deep Blue Sea 32.Deep Rising 33.Bio-Dome (had it been a dark and serious movie) Yep. These definitely seemed like his kinda works
i have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?
@@acchaladka it's about right..... 2.032m = 6ft 8" "Michael Crichton was 6'8" when he registered for basketball tryouts at Harvard, and 6'6.5" when he died of cancer. He himself never stated that he was 6'9", "

i did read a book of his, liked it, but finding out he was a huge (pun regretted) climate change denier til the end, that spoils things for me

Aren't you more shocked they were talking about AI 50 years ago?
Computers did exist then
MC was always lightyears ahead of everyone else.
@@timowthie First movie to have digital special effects 1973 Westworld. Written and directed by Crichton.
50 years ago. Wow.
Where does the time go?

Recently read: Travel’s, Jurassic Park, and Timeline. Great stuff.
Cavett is so excellent, he makes every guest rack his brain to match his wit. I don't know anyone wittier and more understated than him.
Nobody did it like Cavett and Carson.
Absolutely
Cavett is a pretty formidable mentality,. I saw the Heston interview, and man he’s one celebrity that wasnt afraid to go toe to toe with Cavett

The entire time heston is thinking"damn dirty apes
I am still
laughing
Heston is either thinking damn dirty apes or something like" everyone in this audience should have rifles lol
🦍😂👍🙌
Much respect on the Michael Crichton.
Good looking , smart, and contributed so much🐓
Crichton rules.
About 40 pages into Timeline, just finished Sphere, next book club book is Pirate Latitudes. I’m really down a Micheal Crichton rabbit hole
The book was great. Movie was OK, but Sharon Stone? Reading the book I was not picturing Sharon Stone at all. Ending was a disappointment- the final twist was missing.
Michael Crichton could see the human aura. He describes it in his autobiography. He was a very unusual man.
I like mike too. Read his book "airframe " while working at Boeing on 747 wings. I remember thinking , " wow ! Could happen ! " .
Makes you want to know why no movie. Book practically calls for it. But I hate to say, movie studios these days would ruin it in the name of WOKE.
Reading Eaters of the Dead by him now--- Awesome awesome book. And written in top notch form. Never a dull sentence.
I love the amount of time spent talking about surgeries and psychiatry... geeez
Michael Crichton was an actual Dinosaur. Jurassic Park makes even more sense now.
7y77😍
He was a Brachiosaurus.
A few short years and he starts making movies.

The book is very readable, covering different topics, and highly entertaining.
And one should read "disclosure", a very crafted drama. I liked it also for its clever twist.
It's so interesting to see how his demeanor changed as he got older.
Transference between man and machine has actually become a thing. Unfathomable then, but reality now.
This was aired back in the 70s yet so ahead of his time was he that the topic of AI has only become timely now in the early 21st century.
yup, those people of the 80s would be calling today's LLM's pure sorcery
I can only think of one other author who was as tall as Crichton and that was Douglas Adams who was 6 feet 5 inches tall.
Thomas Wolfe was 6'6". Crichton topped him by three inches.
Think again 6 ft. 5 is not 6 ft. 9 which is what he was. He was not tall he was circus freak tall.

Talking about I.A now is like talking about computers in 1970.
Welcome to Jurassic Sideburns.
Man, Heston's jokes were bombing.
I've been using A.I. for therapy for the past 12 months!
Smart dude,really cool guy.
JFC he's really tall.
6ft9
Next to Cavett, it's almost unbelievable.
i have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?
Worship of the surgeon.
Its interesting that JG Ballard also studied Medicine and dropped out too
1:11
Dick Cavett's height?!!
Dick is listed as 1.7m and Crichton 2.06m
36 cm?
Crichton seems taller than 2.06m....
@@acchaladka
it's about right.....
2.032m = 6ft 8"
"Michael Crichton was 6'8" when he registered for basketball tryouts at Harvard, and 6'6.5" when he died of cancer. He himself never stated that he was 6'9", "
Heston, makes a business decision and doesn’t stand up fully to greet him.
I did a loud exclamation when they all shook hands.
Rilke wrote what God will do when I die. That would be another interesting answer by a machine/AI.
I wonder where his writing mind might lead us right now, August 2023. We got UAP, AI, & his favorite, climate.
