When I try to watch the video freezes 5 seconds in and I've tried clearing my browser history, switching browser, nothing seems to help :( audio continues but video just won't work. Anyone else having this?

Man, I am right there with the being done with the "man's hubris!!" trope. Good fiction speaks to the nature of the world; "man's hubris" is 100% rooted in theological thinking. The real problems we have are systemic and rooted in greed, not hubris.

I read the book for the first time this summer, and agree with pretty much everything here. If anything, I think you’re underselling how much of the book is just Crichton’s personal takes on hubris through the mouthpiece of Malcolm. It’s exhausting to read. (Aside: the slightly sideways pronunciation of lecherous as lecture-ous at about 40 min gave me a good laugh for just that reason.)

I felt extremely called out when you asked if I had read Jurassic Park since 4th grade. I'll add it to my "the suck fairy visited" list of media I should not revisit as an adult.

As an Utah resident, I feel that I’ve been personally victimized by Lindsay Ellis.

So informative! Probably my favorite video since ET. Love to see more book/movie adaptation comparisons.

Lindsay keeps referencing the line, "life finds a way." She doesn't specifically imply that it's unique to the movie, but she also doesn't mention the book scene that line is trying to paraphrase. I forget precisely where it is, but at some point after Hammond and Malcolm link back up after the park goes nuts, the two have this fairly interesting dialogue that goes beyond a simple, "life finds a way", to a larger point about how the force of life itself is greater than anything we could hope to control or destroy, and that our goal should be to try and preserve life as we know it. In that sense, the book really is filled with wonder and awe, but it requires more thought and consideration than a family friendly two hours allows.

Another fabulous video and not just because Jurassic Park remains one of my favourite movies of all time.

I love the video! I think you make an excellent point about the empathy that the movie shows, both towards the dinosaurs and the people in it, being a big reason for the movie's success. I feel complicated about the hubris trope. I actually have come to believe it's an important and useful trope, but I also feel like too much of the cultural discourse around scientists portrays them as proud godlike figures and not enough as genuinely humble and full of wonder at nature. It's not that scientists can't be hubristic with disastrous consequences; it's that scientists approach their work in a variety of ways, and some of those ways have nothing to do with hubris. Anyway, how about a Barbenheimer video essay? :)

I remember reading the book 'Jurassic Park' while I was in college. I got through it super-fast (in a day or two) and thought it was pretty entertaining but kind of shallow. I saw the movie maybe a year later later and my memory of the book is almost surely now colored by how good the movie is - I have not re-read it since. I also remember reading 'The Lost World' when it came out in 1995 and liking it a whole lot more than 'Jurassic Park' - it seemed pretty obvious to me that Crichton took what worked in the movie JP and folded it back into the second book.

The news anchor saying "YURASSIC" is killing me. Who says it like that??

Sounds interesting, I'm in! Jurassic Park always deserves more love, more raised eyebrows a la "what were they thinking?" I've even borrowed Jeff Goldblum's famous line during RPG sessions (but I changed "scientists" to wizards") : "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should."

Ironically, "Dinosaurs being brought back because heartless millionaires want to make a quick buck" is kind a the reality when you think about why the Jurassic World Trilogy was made.

the way how movie Hammond seems adorable and yet he's a horrible person fascinates me

Isaac Clarke

Thank god somebody else thinks the book is bad. It's one of about three books I refused to finish. Cherished film, borderline unreadable book.
