" . . . . As I wrote in a column on Spielberg's Vengeance, last summer, Spielberg halted production to avoid upsetting terrorists during the Olympics. Just out of respect and "sensitivity" for terrorists' wishes. Then, Spielberg realized this was a bad P.R. move and had his publicist claim the reason was something almost as absurd, but much less believable: that Spielberg was just too upset each day--sobbing while reading pages of the script--to continue. Right, and the sob-scenes in E.T. also made him halt production. Not."
