This is the producer's faults, not Spielberg's. But I assume you don't buy Biskind bullshit.

i really liked that new star wars one that ends with the princess giving the robot the secret message. so now i can just watch that and star wars and empire and its the perfect trilogy and i can ignore the rest! i don't care about extracurricular star wars junk. i'm really good at avoiding stuff i don't care about though in my old age.

Wasn't King Kong '33 a bit of a formulaic blockbuster type movie as well?

Speilberg refined the art of Blockbuster filmmaking. A movie like Jaws is streamlined and immersive like a ride. The perfect commodity.

idk did King Kong have a merchandising tie-in deal with Professor Dinglemart's Revivifying Hair Tonic?

xp

what is going on here?!

big movies in the 60s could be even more of a drag. with their insane cast lists that were like proto-love boat in length. ever try to sit through The Sand Pebbles? it's like 4 hours long. actually, Ship Of Fools would be the proto-love boat. 400 stars and it feels like its about 8 hours long. it almost feels as long as The Longest Day which was 24 hours long and had 800 stars in it.

It's a Long, Long, Long, Long, Long, Long Movie

substitute Harry Potter above with literally anything

40 year-old dudes don't constantly reference The Sand Pebbles as the pinnacle of human culture tho tbf

substitute Harry Potter above with literally anything

I love Jaws, it's imo an undeniably fantastic movie, & I wasn't blaming Spielberg necessarily- like you said, the moneymen saw an opportunity and a market for tentpoles with, as shakey said, endless product tie-ins and toys aimed at children and some very sad men. even if it was inadvertent, they remain a blight on the culture for what they created

Gasoline Power Washer and the Chamber Of Secrets

Late Character Actor Harry Dean Stanton and the Goblet Of Fire

Fentanyl is Killing Our Children and the Deathly Hallows

fuckin dogs and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Wow guys yr shocking the retirement home with these savage controps

Prince Harry and the... nevermind

what biting opinion is next, "Taco Bell isn't authentic Mexican food"?

Ironically this'll be the second christmas in a row where I'll pretend to care about Star Wars because of a woman I'm dating...

Nice

Just as long as you don't buy any Sleater-Kinney albums or books by Janet Malcolm you're probably fine

lol

I've read Karen Barad's Meeting the Universe Halfways twice.

Which is probably meeting someone way more than halfway. It's a good book, though.

I'll bend on Star Trek (at least the original series) but I draw a line at Star Wars.

you've just made the opposite of a controversial opinion
