An Open Letter to Steven Spielberg.

[sechan19]

Steven:

Did I, or did I not, tell you to stop fucking making science fiction films? I seem to recall that I did, and not once or twice but repeatedly. I told you after A.I. (ugh), after Minority Report (bleck), after War of the Worlds (hork).

I told you to knock it the hell off.

But did you listen? Huh? Did you?

No.

And now you've gone and ruined a perfectly good franchise with more of your flying saucer bullshit.

Here's a newsflash, loser:
Indiana Jones is supposed to be campy, not ridiculous. (And it sure as fuck is not supposed to be Close Encounters of the Third Kind with explosions.)

Just keep it up, son. I will fully come and put the smackdown on your punk ass.

Don't think I won't.

...

Douchebag.

EDIT: I apologize for the rampant profanity in this post, but Spielberg seriously earned it. That is all.

Spielberg and Ghost in the Shell

just because he owns Hollywood doesn't mean he can work in all genres and actually be GOOD AT IT consistently.

Yeah, I saw that. I can't say I was surprised to find Spielberg jumping on the "let's ruin anime, too" bandwagon. The only good thing that ever comes of these types of films, as far as I can see, is an increased stateside availability of original dvds.

The sad thing is that Spielberg is perfectly capable of making a good movie. He just can't make good sci-fi movies, and he needs to accept that and move on. (For the love of all that's holy and whatnot.)

I'm going to add your link to my post, though, so other folks see it. Thanks for reminding me about it!

I should have said he can't make good sci-fi movies anymore. It's not fair to say that he never made a good sci-fi movie, a couple of them have been good.

This can only end in tears.

Personally, I liked AI up until the crappy ending.
But GitS I can't see doing well.

I'm going to have nightmares for a while about this one...
