Rate the last movie you saw.

Let's see:

Indiana Jones 4 - DIAF
Jurassic Park 2 - DIAF

I could list more, but suffice it to say, he's not as great as he used to be. Movies with him as executive producer are better than ones where he directs...at least within the last decade.

I would put "Zwartboek" up against anything he's ever done. (And seriously, if you are even remotely a fan of war-time movies, you are doing yourself a dis-service if you haven't seen this movie--easily 9.6/10). And most of ya'll hate Verhoeven unfairly. Heck, Ridley Scott would do a better job than fucking Spielberg.

Maybe it's because the Vogon ships aren't yellow. Maybe because the movie isn't organized in precisely the same method as the book. Douglas fucking Adams himself co-wrote the screenplay. Don't tell me that it's not true to the source material. Sure, tossing out the source material happens a lot in hollywood (Queen of the Damnend, for example), but that's what you get when Ann Rice isn't involved in the screenplay at all.

Sorry, but 6 ways to sunday, HG2G (2005) still gets at least 8/10 in my book. Haters and purists gonna hate. Heck, compared to the Star Wars prequels, HG2G movie is fucking carbon-copy-cannon.

Oh, and before anyone suggests otherwise, I've been a LONG TIME fan of Verhoeven. I saw Black Book way, way before I ever moved to Europe--so you can suck it. They should have hired him to remake Robocop--it would have been better.

saving private ryan would like to have a word with you, as would jurassic park, schindler's list & catch me if you can.
the 90's and new millennium definitely haven't been the golden age for spielberg that the 70's and 80's were, but he's been the producer behind a lot more movies than director lately.

indeed. and I think this has more to do with pop culture and what sells than personal work per say. the man already won his awards and has the admiration of his peers and movie goers around the world now it's time to churn out shit and make money. I was in the film business to a small degree once and a high level animator at the company I was with once told me, "you can win awards or make money.". pretty true for the most part. sure there are exceptions but there always is.

well you can just go pound sand sir. :p keep in mind Halo kept me employed for a little over a year and really launched the careers of some people I know. we made the first full wearable MJOLNIR Mark IV armor ever for Microsoft's Halo2 release parties all around the world. so basically I made suits and played Halo all damn day for about 2 years. :)

I'm sorry to hear that, Echo. But it certainly explains your lack of taste in movies as well. :awesome:

quite the zingers we've got going on in here.
