Re-reading Jurassic park for 100th time. I’m a massive Crichton apologist, but it’s very funny how very late 80s the character descriptions are.
‘Ellie, who had great legs, just a fantastic pair of yams, spoke, attractively and youngly, to fat ugly Nedry, who was visibly dribbling, the gross nerd’

With great yams.
My fave book difference is Genaro being both great with the kids and not a complete moron and then Spielberg was all 'fuck d'em lawyers!'
Google Translate has an idea of its meaning.
Who told us that AI will soon take over everything? 😜
‘Don’t worry, it’ll be ok’ said the athletic and muscular jock of a lawyer or doctor. Ellie swooned, because of course she should.
Also how did they make a whole Na'vi language but stuck with "unobtanium"? There were competent people working on this...
"She was athletic but her face was hard" or something like that in Sphere.
No compliments without a backhand.
Seems like he tries too hard to be gaudy, but then fails expeditiously with stuff like "because he's fat" – seems like a bad quip of a dumb character from shows like Family Guy.
Also a lot gorier than the film!
"She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downward"
Didn't come from nowhere huh
Now I’m tempted to go back and read it again just to see how awful it is.
That and all the SPAS Shotgun Raptor action like they're in the Arcades above a Bowling Alley.
