Strange, I was just discussing the Attenborough's with my dad last week, and could have sworn he passed a few years ago.
I still have a problem with the Hammond character though, as his last minute change of personality towards the park didn't make a whole lot of sense. At one point he was gung-ho about his affection towards the park, and not killing the dinosaurs; thirty seconds later he completely reverses his tone and is all for their death and leaves the park for good. I know it would have been hard to witness his death, but he should have died (like in the book).
I'll always remember him from The Great Escape though. Spoilers in the video.

Very sad day for me. He directed one of my favorite movies of all time: Gandhi. Not to mention he also directed Chaplin and A Bridge Too Far. He was also a very good actor, and producer. He was a varied and wonderful talent, and a genuinely good human being. He will be missed.

Such an amazing actor, directer, producer, and person. Will be missed, but I'm humbled that he got to live a full live (And an amazing one at that)

I kind of get it, after fearing for his grandkids safety he changed his views. But I agree completely, the book was better. I REALLY didn't like the character in the second movie. The second movie as a whole should have been more like the book, but bringing Hammond back and having him trying to hide and protect the other island was such a far ways to go from his original character. I think Spielberg said though that he just loved Attenborough so much that he just had to have him back, and I can appreciate that.

Of course that makes sense, but in the scene where the raptors attempt to break into the security room he yells "Guns! Guns!" when Grant tries and shoots down the raptors. That's well after the kids were put in harms way, and obviously the raptors were that close into killing his grandkids. That's a point in which his opinion should have swayed from the preservation of a few dinos.

Hmm. I must analyze this further. Any excuse to watch JP and I'll take it.
I'll watch it tomorrow out of curiosity now. Been a while now
