August, I think it's in your mind, this "everyone's attacking me when I'm so generous to be here and bestowing my knowledge on all of you" stuff. Don't take it so darn personally.

 Joe, perhaps that scene you recalled from WESTWORLD -- which was likely partly embellished in your memory (as we all tend to do so) -- could have possibly been filmed by the Second Unit,


First of all, NONE of it was embellished in my mind. I have a good memory for things like this, and I can still hear it and see it in my mind, clear as a bell. And as I noted earlier, I recorded it on audio cassette at the time. Since then, when the subject has come up here and there, there have been other people who verify my memory and recall seeing this same scene. Also, I have a paperback book of WESTWORLD which consists of the actual shooting script, and this sequence is right in there as I recall it (even if I embelished it, the book states it just as it was filmed).

I don't believe this scene was filmed by the second unit. Most likely, Michael Crichton just forgot about it. Can't it ever be the director who's overlooked or forgotten something? If I hadn't been prohibited from asking a followup question on the radio show I would have reminded him of the TV broadcast and it might have clicked for him.   It was my error; I should have begun the question straight off with asking him about that TV scene in particular, and then asking if there'd been others.
