Despite this rude reminder that I’m also about to turn thirty, I’m so stoked for this.

Bob Bonniol

OMG you had me immediately at the wildly singing T-Rex... And it gets better as I dig in. Your commentary tickles my nerd antenna and makes me laugh until I cry. Thank you

NebulaM31

Feeling the weight of the years has never been sweeter. Thank you !

Ted Hoffman

I recently felt a pull to read the book for the first time and now I understand why

I fell out of my chair when the harmonica dropped

Graham Finch

Holy fucking shit! It's a dinosaur! Jesus Christ, what the fuck?

Jack Lightfoot

Good gracious, that was a fuckin good video. Lindsay being a master of the craft once again. (also shout out to her team that help pull all the magic toghether)!

Mark Tomczak

Holy fucking shit! Fucking dinosaurs! Jesus Christ, what the fuuuuuuuck?!

Are you not providing direct links to your Nebula videos here? If not, I will have to sign up for Nebula as well as Patreon.

I'm glad you touched on the main issues with Malcolm and Hammond. Movie Hammond is good and heart-warming if mistaken, but the park still has all the flaws due to Book Hammond's more callous and greedy decision-making. It doesn't bother me at all while watching it because Attenborough's performance is so good and the movie is excellent, but it is something I think about afterwards. I definitely did not pick up that connection between Malcolm's rhetoric and Crichton's beliefs until watching this, but that was excellent too.

Eleana

Hey guys, is anyone having issues with video corruption?

jaded cynic

Clicking on the post directs me to Nebula, where I can sign in using Patreon. Works for me at least. I do have Nebula subscription to support other creators.

Another retrospective on Spielberg’s work? Let’s gooooo!

Lucy (sprints)

The video for me freezes almost immediately, but the audio seems to keep going fine :/ is that what you're having? I've tried switching browsers but no luck yet

Eleana

It played fine for some time then it showed me a message of corruption over a sexy Goldbloom video frame, so I assume the Goldbloom was too much for my phone to handle...

Lucy (sprints)

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?

Dae Knight

Watching this made me realise I'm born in the same month this film came out.

Djinsin

What I'm getting from this is that the best Jurassic Park sequel is the Camp Cretaceous Netflix series because that's only one where the dinosaurs are treated as animals and explores them in all the awe and terror they inspire

Scarlett Dale Woodall

To this day,I think Sam Neill gives one of the best male lead performances of all time. There's a real magic to his dirty khakis mix of refinement and grit. He's the guy who can have dinner with the investors,but he's no suit. He's got his own boots in the mud.

Interloper of Puny

You really hit the nail on the head with Michael Crichton's writings- I never could get into his books (started several, finished none) and I always wanted to, but there are no characters to cheer for and fall in love with, and the writing itself feels flat to me. It's the ideas of his books that make them interesting. Good ideas, kinda flat everything else. (And major fuck-boy energy.)

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.

M Roos

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.)

Reed

As usual top tier editing on this video! Consistently sent by all the notes, particularly the white claw taco bell one.

Lanth

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.

Sean Last

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

RainSnail

Greed and hubris are kind of linked ideas though. The hubris comes with the assumption that you'll get away with indulging your greed and there won't be any negative consequences, hence you can overfarm the land or introduce new species to an area without damaging the ecosystem, or know better than the experts telling you not to make a submarine out of carbonfibre.

dirtside

"the assumption that you'll get away with...(etc)" They don't think they're going to be able to get away with it. They simply *don't care*, because they figure it'll end up being someone else's problem. (And they're usually right.)

Ole van Dongen

Good video with one minor flaw (It's "Your DInosaurs are wrong", not "You're wrong about dinosaurs") and I have a quibble about the meteor strike hypothesis: very soon after Alvarez and Alvarez published their findings, it was a very strong (partial) explanation of why (non avian) dinosaurs died out, at least as a contributing factor. What I discovered reading up on it after watching your video is that the current consensus is that the meteor was /the/ culprit,

Tony M Parker

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

Jack Baker

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.

Jack Baker

I thought it was a little meh. I always find moral judgements more telling of the critic's personal kinks than actual normative descriptions, and Lindsay gives a lot of them here. Very much the "Nostalgia Chick" vibe that I thought she'd grown past.

KSCHatch

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

Deconstruction Interactive

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.

so basically, shangela is the velociraptor of drag

Hey, I just joined your patreon. Is there any way to view a list of all your nebula videos here on patreon? It prompts me to join a subscription if I click your profile on nebula.

Sarah Muder

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

Shell S.

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."

Jack Baker

Except the hubristic one is Hammond, both in the book and the movie. So it's less that scientists are full of hubris, and more that the people in charge of them are.

Aidan Martin

WoahWoahWoahWoah Pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs????

WJ ZAV

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.

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.

Hitchcock Brunette

Subbed so I could watch this ….wow, incredible and eloquent, thoughtful. Nailed it. JP is my favorite film of all time, I reckon we are roughly the same age… I share these sentiments. I was 7 when I saw it in 1993 in the cinema for the first time and I’ll never forget it. I live in Los Angeles and last year they rereleased it for a short run in the fall for the 30th and I saw it FIVE TIMES in two weeks…. Nothing compares to this film,on so many levels. It’s perfect
