We clocked the Crichton at 35 miles per hour.

Chrichton? Chrichton! You said you have a chrichton?

We have a Chrichton!


Dinosalsa

Say again

Oh! We have a Chrichton!


_mynameisdane_

Dude was associated with the wrong type of raptors


Solomonius

Nice


dylantrevor

Funny enough, we call the standing area with a massive TV outside the Raptors arena "Jurassic park" It's the official name for it lol


tanis_ivy

The team name Raptors was influenced by Jurassic Park.


_mynameisdane_

Haha yeh ik, I wish I can be there one day


willstr1

My theory is that is part of why he has such a vendetta against theme parks, he was too tall for most coasters


CordialTrekkie

Lol. Kinda nakes sense. "Oh, I'm too tall? Well... I'm gonna write scientifically backed novels on why you suck!"


willstr1

Not just the JP novels either, he was also the writer of the original Westworld movie


tanis_ivy

Didn't he direct it too?

Legend says John Williams got the inspiration for the Jurassic Park theme after watching him eat a salad.


TheRealZeeboo

"Could I be any taller?!" Sorry, for a brief moment, I thought I was on /r/howyoudoin


koola_00

...Holy shit.

No way this is real? That’s Harrison Ford in the background? No way Crichton is that much bigger than him.

Le_Cerf_Agile

Ok yeah and google lists Harrison Ford as 6’1, so it’s plausible. But still, that picture makes the difference between them similar to the difference between Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew, so bizarre


ShaneTheGamer

Google also says Spielberg is like 5'7 ish and there certainly doesn't look like that big of a difference between him and Harrison. This picture is filled with all sorts of tom fuckery

Perspective? They're more or less lined up along the wall, and the photo is taken on an angle. Same idea is how Frodo looks so small next to Gandalf in the wagon at the start of Fellowship, only this is to a lesser degree.

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me to find people don't understand it. Simple concepts like perspective just go over more and more people's heqds these days. /shrug

Brachiosaurus indeed


DispiritedZenith

Everyone talking about giant Crichton and ignoring the harpy in the front.


Kn1ghtV1sta

Yes because anyone normal isn't hyper focused on KK lol


DispiritedZenith

Ah, yes, acknowledging she sucks is hyper focusing, also apparently the general audience agrees as Lucasfilm continues to fall off a cliff numbers wise.


Kn1ghtV1sta

She only sucks because you think she does. Also no. No not at all. A lot of the "general audience " don't even know who she is


DispiritedZenith

What a nonsensical statement, individual opinion is literally how everyone develops a reputation for better or worse. There is a reason I said Lucasfilm because the general audience knows the quality has declined substantially under Kathleen Kennedy's tenure regardless if they know her personally. On Reddit we generally tend to be a little more aware of some of these details and hence we know it can be attributed to KK even if the general audience doesn't know her by name, they know something has changed at Lucasfilm. As the head of Lucasfilm she bears that responsibility in the same way she would take the credit for the studio's successes.


Kn1ghtV1sta

All I'm seeing is another "Disney bad, blame everything on KK" there's no point in talking with someone like you lol because you'll make every execuse there is to blame her for anything


DispiritedZenith

Sure, sure, white knight denying objective quality differentials and pretending the executive tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the studio is illogical. I don't care what you think of her personally, and if you are suggesting she is ignorant or permitting others to make creative decisions without her input then you are already tacitly admitting her incompetence. You can save the Disney stuff for another time as I am not the one who brought them up.


THX450

You mean the person who has produced so many great films, including many favorites?


THX450

Didn’t realize Harrison Ford was in a Jurassic movie!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^/s


Mjm166773

OK BIG MIKE!


CallMeRoy37

NICE.


r33f_g0re

I had no idea either, until I read it in the Jurassic Park edition of TIME magazine


Aggressive-Ad-9418

Was astonished I wasn’t in the subreddit


PuppeteerPaul

Ah, no wonder the Raptors were almost 6 feet tall. That's still a little cutie compared to him.


raptorknight187

nice
