“For a long time, I was upset, because I didn’t get to see any [dinosaurs]. We were running around in Hawaii with the gallimimus that were supposed to be running past us that were just computer animated. And I remember one scene where the T. rex comes out of the woods, snatches one up, and eats it. What I got to look at was this wooden stick with a dinosaur head drawn at the top of it that I think I, as a 9 year old, could have drawn and a couple of guys moving it around and Steven screaming into a megaphone, ‘Okay, now he’s eating him, Joe. He’s eating him now. You’re looking at him. He’s eating him.’ I was a little upset. I was like ‘Yo, when are we getting some dinosaurs. I keep hearing this movie’s about dinosaurs.’”
