Michael Crichton has passed away
Its a shame he died. He wasn't a great author but he did have a few good ones. Sphere(the book) was among his better ones.

Really? I hated that one. Much preferred Andromeda Strain.

The movie absolutely sucked, but I loved the book.
Edit: was talking about the 90's Sphere movie.

I loved that movie. I'm guessing you're not talking about the 1971 version. Or if you are, then maybe you had to be there.

I liked the original version. I'd put it up there with One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest on the list of best adaptations. But I've seen some god awful remakes, most notably the recent miniseries with Benjamin Bratt.

Haven't read the book, but I loved the movie. It's the only movie ever to succeed at giving me nightmares.

Yeah, I loved AS too. His later work has gone downhill but he was very innovative in his early career.

Sphere was the first novel I ever read. The imagery is still with me.
