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

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:37 (seventeen years ago)

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

C. Thomas Howell needs work, right?

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:42 (seventeen years ago)

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.

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

Surmounter, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 19:35 (seventeen years ago)

(most ppl i know anyway)

Surmounter, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 19:36 (seventeen years ago)

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

ILX really hated Hitchcock in 1965

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 20:46 (seventeen years ago)

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

blair underwood: "man up" (omar little), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 20:48 (seventeen years ago)

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

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

"ILX really hated Hitchcock in 1965"

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

that would be too unpretentious

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

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:12 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:15 (seventeen years ago)

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

Lamp, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:15 (seventeen years ago)

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

blair underwood: "man up" (omar little), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:17 (seventeen years ago)

It's both too.

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:18 (seventeen years ago)

how would it result in a bad film?

blair underwood: "man up" (omar little), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:18 (seventeen years ago)

minority report is good but has a kind of dum ending

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

Guy made like 50 though. He's entitled to a few stinkers. 10 seems high though.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:21 (seventeen years ago)

There's plenty of bad films that flop!

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:21 (seventeen years ago)

Hitch's: Torn Curtain, Topaz -- bad films and totally out of step with their respective release year's big films.

Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:22 (seventeen years ago)

Okay that's two.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)

He made nearly 20 movies before arriving at the original Man Who Knew Too Much and The 39 Steps, and most of them are no Rear Windows.

neu hollywood (Eric H.), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)

i guess what i'm asking is why a film that misreads a commercial audience would = a bad film, unless you're saying certain hackish tendencies of both filmmakers (in angling for box office) ruin the film
