michael crichton, RIP


sci-fi author crichton died on tuesday from cancer (read here). although i have not read any of his books, i thought jurassic park the movie was the best dinosaur flick at that time, & still is, thanks in no small part to the CGI that amazingly made the dinosaurs come to life. the 2 sequels somehow just didn't match up.

& who can forget ER....

...the thrill-a-minute the award-winning TV medical drama that launch the career of george clooney, as well as initiating a trend of similar series, eg chicago hope, strong medicine, scrubs, & house.

thanks for hours of unrivalled entertainment, michael.

Neither have I. Read any of his books, that is.

Iml,

goes on to show that you don't have to read the book to realise his talents.

just in case you enjoyed Mitch Albom's "for one more day", the TV movie will be on Hallmark channel on 15th Nov.

I used to follow ER like crazy when I was still a kid. It was one of my favorite series.

RIP, Michael Crichton. I've never read his books too - not really a sci-fi fan.
