  • I don't understand why people bash on Spielberg so much. He's influenced and is admired by plenty of these directors who are considered "real filmmakers" today such as Quentin Tarantino, Werner Herzog, Paul Thomas Anderson and David Fincher. Even legendary directors such as Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick and Sidney Lumet admired his work. Spielberg is one of the few remaining gifted storytellers in movies today, who happens to have a more optimistic view of things. What's wrong with that?

  • I love Steven Spielberg. There. I said it. STFU film hipsters.

  • @violator102 They bash him cause they have no taste

  • and thats why we have so many shitty movies , quantity over quality

  • Smae Here, film is basicly the only thing I know

  • @dcolby5 And that's too bad and too sad, as Lucas has ALWAYS been a MUCH better director than writer, which that last is what he's been doing over the last decade-and-a-half.

    Hence: Lucas' "bad years" (Star Wars prequels, Star Wars "Special Editions", Indiana Jones 4, and I hope no more like that coming soon).

  • @directorlog Agreed! I was also wondering what the hell she was talking about. ??? Hehehehe

  • @mussman717word Heh, yeah, ya know, I'd agree with you...if you actually had a clue as to what you were talking about.

    *your Comment = yet another Thumbs Down*

  • @violator102 Well, those dumb little n00blets--who can't even so much as make up their own original material--are too busy giving their little moolah to the likes of Michael Bay.

    They don't know much! hehehehe

  • As soon as he talked about being a whimp in school he became an even bigger idol/hero to me.
