Give Crichton credit for effectively delivery a feeling of dread for the hero and audience with this one, and for influencing future filmmakers down the line. I always thought it was clever to use Yul Brynner's iconic character from the <i>Magnificent Seven</i>. It was a good throwback in time device to sell the future scenario. And Brynner was great in it as he could only be. He didn't need lines to convey mechanical malice. Just those looks. They don't make his kind anymore ;-). Thanks for this, Mr. Peel.<br /><br />p.s., as you can see, I'm playing catch-up :-).le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-31286406915639615982010-07-07T20:26:33.845-07:002010-07-07T20:26:33.845-07:00Good point about DIARY.

If I'd written a full piece on it I definitely would have mentioned that, but I'd love to see it again first. <br /><br />If I'd seen WESTWORLD when I was ten I would have thought it was the best thing ever too. And it's nice to see that it's still pretty good.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-10456203973362486102010-07-07T11:27:23.382-07:002010-07-07T11:27:23.382-07:00Let's not overlook an important side-note abou...Let's not overlook an important side-note about DIARY. The band in the party scene is none other than ALICE COOPER, at their craziest, just before they got big! Their concerts at that time really were as wild as that. <br /><br />I saw Westworld at the theater upon release. At ten years old, i was blown away by that movie. We stayed and watched it twice. And later went to see it again. Having seen it very recently, i can say that it tops Jurassic with ease.Otto Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490313031593310650noreply@blogger.com
