For what? Making movies people like? Don't get me wrong I hate most of them too, but he's raking in more than I'll probably ever see. Can't really blame him...
Yeah, zin underrates ANH pretty badly. Compared to TESB, it's not all that great, but it's still the second-best Star Wars film.
The Ewoks ruined RotJ. They were really the beginning of the end of Star Wars' credibility.
Will somebody please kill Adam Sandler?

I'll chip in to the donation pot for this.
Start an online petition saying he should kill himself. How would you feel if someone sent you a link to a petition saying you should kill yourself and it had over a million signatures on it?
I'm conflicted about Spielberg. I started to watch The Goonies recently and realized it was just...#$%^ing HORRIBLE. I also thought Super 8 was terrible, mostly due to the Spielberg influences I saw.Waggy and all the others wondering about the production of Red Tails, should watch this interview wit Lucas on The Daily Show from last week.

I would also suggest that if any of you haven't watch RedLetterMedia's review on the 4th Indiana Jones movie, I highly suggest watching it. I agree more with their assesment that Lucas, not Spielberg, is the reason that movie got made and why it was so horrible, unlike what the South Park fellas would have you think. Spielberg actually makes REALLY good movies, where Lucas got lucky with one franchise and now he's a pioneer of the film industry. :rollseyes:

...but he has made some excellent movies. I loved Jurassic Park as a kid, but probably wouldn't enjoy it as much any more. Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan were excellent. I think he's best at making period films (like war movies).

George Lucas didn't pioneer shit. He just surrounded himself with good people. If anything he knew how to market and manage. When he started taking full control over projects is when it became blissfully clear he didn't know what the FUCK he was doing, and it was the people he had around him that worked together who did amazing things for the time.

Super 8 wasn't bad. Most of it was really good. It's about a group of friends and they all seem like real people. It just turns into shit at the end where it's about aliens and the two dads working together. It's like having really great sex then the woman says "I want a baby" and you're like "ahhhhhh!!!" and pull out as fast as possible.I'm conflicted about Spielberg.

In the biz we call it drug addiction. There's the meth phase where the movies are about action and a bunch of shit happening that doesn't advance the plot, assuming there is a plot (Transformers 2). Then there's the MDMA phase where the characters have more depth (most good movies). Then there's the weed phase where you're left wondering why the hell that scene was left in the movie since it has nothing to do with anything (The Room). Then there's the alcohol phase where the character actions don't seem to make sense or their behavior is inconsistent (Star Wars prequels). Then there's the hangover phase where you try to justify your actions by saying it was designed to look like a B movie with a bunch of plot holes and shit (Lucas explaining the latest Indiana Jones movie). Then there's the drug withdrawal phase you blame everyone else (Red Tails, watch the Lucas interviews about how people who dont like it are racist). Then you get back on the wagon and start making crazy stuff again (Transformers 3).I swear he has multiple personality disorder.

God, that scene where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan land on the planet and then meet up and first start talking to Jar-Jar... Makes me cringe every time...
Which is a shame, because the movie opened so bad-assly (?).
I thought George retired in 1983.

Agreed. Duel was awesome. :thumbsup:Dude, Goonies is one of the greatest movies of the 80's, and I enjoyed 8mm. Not a great movie, but it was certainly enjoyable to watch.
If you want to respect Spielberg, watch his very first movie, a made for TV film called Duel. It's fantastic.
At least I'm not the only one who thought Super 8 sucked. Super lens flair + child actors make for a bad movie.
