Steven Spielberg - classic or dud

on a thread full of wrong u took the cake right here

I would eat all this will smith-free cake

like there's a bomb wired to mlk that will go off if he stops making a speech

shakey mo collier

1995 Bad Boys Detective Mike Lowrey 2,000,000
1996 Independence Day Captain Steven "Steve" Hiller, USMC 5,000,000
1997 Men in Black James Darrell Edwards / Agent J 5,000,000
1998 Enemy of the State Robert Clayton Dean 14,000,000

^^ imo this is a completely unfuckwitable run

i mean hes only made two good movies since but

id pay to see michael bay's MLK too tbh

"^^ imo this is a completely unfuckwitable run"

Yeah if you have the attention span of a gnat.

</>Morbius

i dont follow

Focus.

Is Will Smith a Scientologist? Scientologists + Spielberg tend to be a dubious mix.

Is Will Smith even attached to this? It's hard to imagine him as King frankly.

C. Thomas Howell needs work, right?

it's gonna be a series of actors for different parts of the story, really unique & powerful choice imo

im particularly excited for the jim-carrey-as-young-mlk segment

I hope Dakota Fanning is one of them.

Dakota Fanning as teenage MLK I hope

arrgh fuck you x-post!

lolz great minds think alike

I'm ashamed it took me this long to realize that pretty much everyone on ILX exaggerates their hatred of Spielberg in a sort of equal-but-opposite fashion.

dr.morbius has done more for america than all of ilx

i think most people do this -- at times it feels awfully deserved

(most ppl i know anyway)

Whatever makes Spielberg seem controversial and vital is all good imo.

i always say i like spielberg!

i a.i. say i like spielberg!

i indiana jones for spielberg movies.

It's remarkable how well he's done considering a main theme is I wanna fuck my Mom

i mean hes only made two good movies since but

wtf is the 2nd one????

worked for sophocles

ILX really hated Hitchcock in 1965

well he'd just made marnie, which was a very divisive picture

i'm sure S.S. will make something really fluffy w/ Julia Roberts & Steve Martin if only Surmounter asks him.

"ILX really hated Hitchcock in 1965"

Yeah they're really similar directors except for Stephen Spielberg consistently sucking and Hitchcock being consistently great.

Nice poll idea. I can think of at least 10 Hitchcock films that totally suck, though.

More talk of sucking and cock plz.

haha no i pulled "two" out of my ass and then just named the first 2 i could remember

aka i did what ive been doing on ILX for 3 years now

Part of being a commercial filmmaker is that you're going to mistake the public mood and make terrible movies on occasion. I don't hold Spielberg or Hitchcock's failures against them.

bad boys 2 is pretty good if not the masterpiece that some other ilc mod claims but yah

u know whats a good movie is minority report

mistaking the public mood seems to be an excuse for a film that flops rather than a bad film

It's both too.

how would it result in a bad film?

minority report is good but has a kind of dum ending
