Walt Disney?

That talking mouse was fantastic.

 

[Braders]

Tarantino.

word.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Walt Disney?

That talking mouse was fantastic.

Exactly

As was R2-D2 in Star Wars.
Also not forgetting he had a hand in the Indiana Jones Movies

The Legend Lucas should be there as well as Disney

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A good director means nowt, It is a culmination that makes greatness. Actors, production, director et al. If there is a click then greatness is achieved. just because "it's a Spielberg film" or a "Ridley Scott film" doesn't mean it's good.

but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be

 

[Eggmundo]

War of the Worlds.

I rest my case.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I thought War of the Worlds was very good cannot understand the anti

 

[Easy 10]

War of the Worlds unfortunately suffers from a couple of factors though:

1. Massive budget
2. Tom Cruise in the lead role

Those two factors alone can pretty much guarantee a right old slagging, regardless of the relative merits of the film. Personally, I thought it was terrific entertainment and did EXACTLY what it said on the tin. But the lah-de-dahs caned it of course, because it didn;t fully explore someones innermost angst, or raise any important questions about contemporary society as a whole, or how we should react to a marauding bunch of alients trying to f*** us over.

Etc.

 

[Easy 10]

Oh, and it wasn;t in black & white, with subtitles.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

it ended with a bit of a whimper but thats how the book ended so what was the beard supposed to do make up a new ending with lots of carnage and explosions, they guy can't win either way

 

[Bluejuice]

Spielberg at number 3

What a JOKE

Obviously this is a readers poll from a magazine read by morons

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I won't take the bait

also War of the Worlds had one of the great cinematic moments when the tripod come from under the earth, a superb 10 minutes seqeunce , watch this in a darkened room on a big screen with the sound up and tell me it wasn't superb, worth the entrance fee to the film alone that bit was.

Why not? He pretty much dicked about with everything else in the book.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

according to NSC Schindler's List is utter shite and one of the worst films ever made but it gets 8.8 on a worldwide poll of over 150000 votes and is 6th greatest film of all time, Spielberg gets no 3 , should be no 1 as he has a huge and varied body of work

its an updated " version " of the book, its not a definately reworking of every element in the book, its an updated look at the story, do you understand

I'm trying to, but the more I read this "sentence" the more it makes my eyes hurt.

Schindler's List IS shit, and so is Spielberg

Just so you know.

Popularity doesn't equate to talent

Just look at Gary Hart (no offence OGH)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I really do not care what you think post somewhere where someone values your opinions

 

[Bluejuice]

Is that statement not a bit hypocritical coming from NSC's biggest timewaster?
