Not as upsetting as the death of Asimov or Clarke, but significant none the less.

I don't own that many movies on DVD, but "The Andromeda Strain" is one of them.

Although I always considered "Endangered Species" to be the all-around better flick in an Art Bell sort of way...

I was very surprised to read in his obit that Michael Crichton was 6'9".
