i feel churlish but i really dislike steven speilberg's films. they're big and stupid. i feel like i'm being talked down to by some oaf. i tried to make myself like them, but it didnt work. et was the tiresome story of squat ugly jesus. raiders et al had that awful john williams music that made me want to drive needles into my forehead. schindlers list....ok so we're watching a film about the warsaw ghetto and speilberg assumes that we're not emotionally involve enough so he puts the little girl in red in... this goes on and on. the quinessential hollywood mainstream director who makes the lamest of loud dumb entertainments. i'd rather have a beer.
but i liked duel.
i kinda like empire of the sun.
