There was a movie, called Congo from 1995 based off of a Michael Crichton novel. With genetically modified gorillas and a diamond trade conspiracy

were the gorillas really supposed to be genetically modified? i remember a bit where someone's like "oh, they say the lost civilization here cross-bred gorillas with people," but i also remember that being presented as in-universe bullshit, just creepy legends, and the true horror is just that the gorillas were taught to be cops. e: i put Congo on the Good side of Crighton's work, but maybe i just loved dumb poo poo as a child

I actually had that Escape From New York game. It wasn't great (or good) but I remember giving it points for trying. If I remember right, it was right around when I got into D&D so 1981 checks out

I don't think that was a thing, there was just the one trained gorilla that knew sign language (which is also a real thing) Also all of Crichton's stuff is trash, every single one of the movies were better than the books, the only times that has ever happened.

At least Philip K. Dick is fun as hell if only for the pure druggy conspiracy minded insanity (literally) of it all. Like one of his stories starts with the main character getting accidentally zapped with a brainwashing ray by a secret agency, so now he sometimes thinks he's a literal rat because their identities got merged? He then goes on to uncover a conspiracy about one way teleportation to a different galaxy that supposedly solved earth's overpopulation but isn't all that it seems. poo poo like Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall etc were cool but seriously sanitised for the general public, and even those were his more sane stories.

Correct, her vocabulary was robust, but she had no concept of syntax. Some chimpanzees do, a bit, but apparently human syntax is just really hosed, even parrots have trouble with it.

This was the most interesting gorilla experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJkWS4t4l0k ante posted:Also all of Crichton's stuff is trash, every single one of the movies were better than the books, the only times that has ever happened. I disagree: All of Crichtons stuff after Jurassic Park is garbage. You can tell that it's the exact moment he was like "oh is this the poo poo you animals want? Okay that's all I'll write from now on." The Andromeda Strain, Sphere, The Eaters of the Dead, and a few others were pretty decent. Agents are GO! has a new favorite as of 21:41 on Jul 18, 2020 |
