Compared to the fifteen minutes of Million Dollar Baby I watched, Amistad seems positively brilliant, it's true.

the hours book was so bad, can't believe people actually watched the movie

Virginia Woolf's real nose is so bad, I can't believe Nicole Kidman actually went through the trouble of wearing a fake one.

None of Spielberg's three masterpieces as a director are action-adventure.

"I've never thought much of most Spielberg movies that aren't in the action-adventure genre."

Judd Apatow's MLK

It was his LIFE long dream right after his LIFE long dream to make the Holocaust flick.

Big Project Runway fan, yeah.

And his LIFE long dream to film a slow-motion sequence of Eric Bana fucking.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:11 (fourteen years ago) link

Then in 1983, Spielberg fulfilled a life-long dream by producing a big-screen adaptation of The Twilight Zone.

With the inclusion of star Sean Connery, Spielberg vicariously fulfilled a lifelong dream to make a James Bond movie.

hahaah

Finally, after decades of talks, negotiations, rows and reconciliations, the copyright holders of Tintin have struck a deal with Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks studios. Finally, Spielberg’s lifelong dream will come true.

s1ocki, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Would totally dig a Tintin adaptation.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:16 (fourteen years ago) link

When the P.A. returned from his run, Spielberg fulfilled his lifelong dream of having an iced soy chai latte

Steven Spielberg's been workin' on the railroad all the lifelong day

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:55 (fourteen years ago) link

JOEKS

EVERYTHING'S A JOEK

LIKE YOU GUYS PRETENDING "MUNICH" & "EMPIRE OF THE SUN" NEVER HAPPENED

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link

Dr Morbius is actually the screen name for that kid who dropped out of high school and watched movies with his dad instead, right?

"the whale saw her" (gabbneb), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link

Empire of the Sun is pretty good, but mostly ruined by Williams' oppressive score.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:21 PM

seriously, Williams completely fucked up this movie

Tennis Bum (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link

still Bale's best performance.

The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

And his LIFE long dream to film a slow-motion sequence of Eric Bana fucking.

Is that such an odd dream to have?

"Hi terrorist, convenient that we are sharing the same safehouse, it has allowed me to see that you and I are perhaps not so different, we both love our countries but are doing morally dubious things to support them, DO YOU SEE? DO YOU SEEEEEEEEE?"

languid samuel l. jackson (jim), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:21 (fourteen years ago) link

I think Zohan was a more thought provoking study of the Israel/Palestine conflict.

languid samuel l. jackson (jim), Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:22 (fourteen years ago) link

"Is that such an odd dream to have?"

No. But it's odd to insert it into Munich.

"uh Alex, Tintin is his & Peter Jackson's Christmas present to you."

Is Jackson directing it? Until I see a preview these things don't exist for me cuz I don't read industry rags.

"LIKE YOU GUYS PRETENDING "MUNICH" & "EMPIRE OF THE SUN" NEVER HAPPENED"

I try to pretend the former never happened all the time. The latter has its moments though.

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I have never enjoyed a Will Smith movie ever so no

Focus.

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

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

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

Alex in SF, Tuesday, 19 May 2009 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link

C. Thomas Howell needs work, right?
