| Well I saw "Duel" yesterday, and tried to watch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" today. It was simply amazing to see how much his directing had changed, daresay, for the not-so-better. Even though it was for a mini budget, and even a for-TV film, it was much more fun and exciting than Indiana, which is supposed to be sort of the same in genre. But I guess people saw Indiana anyway, so he didn't really care to bother that much with it; on his first movies though, he had more to prove. | | | | Posts: 71 | Location: Valencia, CA | Registered: December 22, 2009 |

Would you say the same thing of "Crystal Skull?" I agree with your take on the earlier Indy films, but I'm curious as to whether it is generally held that "Crystal Skull" maintained the same energy and such that made the other Indys great. | | | | Posts: 71 | Location: Valencia, CA | Registered: December 22, 2009 |

Zemeckis is pretty damn cool, if I had a choice of an eternity of watching Zemeckis's flicks over watching Spielberg's, I'd choose Zemeckis. Contact was an amazing ****ing movie that kicks the ass of any E.T., Close Encounters bull****. And the Back to the Future franchise? Okay, so Marty McFly and quite the badass as Indiana Jones, but man, a time-traveling Deloreon? Robert kicks Spielberg's ass. Alright, here's a director for you, David Fincher, brilliant visionary, works with what he's given. Se7en and Fight Club were great scripts and he was able to produce to wonderful movies. No matter how brutal you think Fight Club, it will always be great for style and entertainment. I'll also use Aaronofsky now because he seems to be a four-letter word. Pi was his Jaws, just smarter. An intense, low-budget, sci-fi thriller. Requim was his Schindler's List, for lack of a deeper comparison. And made those two without massive budgets and special effects. Imagine what this man, and Fincher, could do with half the freedom or money Spielberg has for his movies. Movies would be in a better state of affairs. I don't care about Spielberg anymore, love or hate, I just want him to retire so I never have to say "that piece of **** ending is so Spielberg."
