Tom Clancy interview on "Rainbow Six" (1998)

The interviewer is so argumentative. You can see Clancy losing his patience with him.

Without Remorse and Rainbow Six are my top favorite Jack Ryanverse books. I’ve just always liked Clark better. He’s got a pretty colorful background compared to Boy Scout Jack Ryan. If Ryan is Superman, the paragon of virtue who does no wrong, then Clark is Batman. He’s doing the dirty work in the shadows. That would definitely explain it for me.

😢

I think the Clark character was played by Willem Dafoe in Clear and Present Danger

'What do ya mean did I ride it? Of course I rode it. I rode it in three months! You lookin' at me? You schmuck.....' [taking a sip of carbonated water] 🖋

Without Remorse is one of the best books ever written

I like his books, but boy is he a horrible interview guest

Guy is pretty full of himself. I love his books but he is clearly a jerkoff

lol this interviewer is working hard to hold up the conversation, it always surprises me when writers say so little but yet have so much to say in their books.

This is like an outline of the "need" for 9/11. Military funding was dropping and they needed to post it back up. So why stop it and then they get their villains and billions

1 minute in this guy asked the same question 5 times fuck him

The game is good

I wonder if he’d approve of without remorse. I’m excited for rainbow where MBJ will take it.

One of - if not - my favorite Tom Clancy books , the video game was a real breakthrough, how good was late nineties early 00 literally eating all his books … that was a good time

Watched the first 5 minutes of this interview, Clancy was being a dick so i turned off after that.
It was like he didn't want to be there, so if he doesn't want to be there either do I.

Rainbow Six is my all-time favorite book. I still have the copy I bought when I was 13 and I've re-read it more times than I can recall. I recently started re-reading it and I'm shocked at how well it's held up over 20 years later.

Also "You let your characters do your thinking for you"
that's the single most concise way you could think of to write a good story. It's that simple but also that difficult

thank you for splinter cell, Tom

Hand's down, this is my favorite book of all time.

I liked his books; didn’t love them. Clancy was not a polished writer and he tended to drone on endlessly about side stories that had nothing to do with the main story.

Real courage is walking up and doing it without regard to one's life.

The Lady Russian covert agent with brunette hair whom I, Milner Benedict III, would have been willing to give my life for her satisfaction regarding her own hate issues to the United States who was exchanged from CIA 1997/1998 circa.

I saw a brief news item on her one morning when I was watching TV in my 311 Como Street Apartment 208 place.

The second time I absolutely wanted to give my life for her safety and happiness was Natasha Romanoff.

Natasha Romanoff was happy with the Averagers, and I wanted to preserve and continue that for her - and that moment in Time Space is eternal.

I did say to Christine Lindsay from Greenbelt Middle School that I would die, but I was too young to fully understand those words...

today I do.

The Man The Myth The Legend 😎

No remorse was made into a movie

John Clark is one of the scariest characters in military fiction...

Bro I hate this interviewer

As far as authors go, Clancy is the most badass looking one i've seen.

An outstanding author that was assassinated by the Soetoro Administration.

rose is awful

I bet he had a really sharp willy. Sharp like a spike. To penetrate. I bet he absolutely obliterated minges.
EDIT: YOU HID MY COMMENT YOU NAUGHTY BUM BUM HEAD.

Tom Clancy seriously helped me figure out the kind of stories I wanna tell, and while other authors helped me figure out my style of writing them, he is and will always be my greatest inspiration.

If only he could see what rainbow six looks like these days.... 🤡

"Human institutions, have human frailties" yes ...to error, is to be human 🧗‍♀️🧗‍♂️

bought rainbow six for 50 cents at the thrift store cuz i knew the name from the game. pretty cool. this interviewer stinks!

It's a crime that an original Rainbow Six movie has not been produced yet.

Hideo Kojima must have been a Tom Clancy fan

"Let your characters do your thinking for you"- Tom Clancy BRILLIANT

Before we knew he is a wanker Rose was the worst interviewer of all time. But he got great guests.

I like reading Tom Clancy but never thought he could be such a cold-blooded psychopach who imagines killing everyone that goes againt the USA interest. Statunitian society is sinister. Tom Clancy is terror.

You thought your president was weak?!?!😂

I hate Ubisoft
RIP Mr. Clancy

Mossad inept, that's funny! Never heard them dissed before. :-)

What do you think now? Probably, "I thought of that but it seemed preposterous."

This interview hits home the fact that those who grew up during the Cold War had a very different outlook on geopolitics than we do today.

"i wear my sun glasses at night"

That is interesting how Clancy tells about terrorist threat as a minor thing for contemporary United States just three years before the 9/11.
The event that pulled the country into the conflict lasting for decades, cost zillions of dollars and lots and lots and lots of lost human lives.

"i felt like it" ROFL
