A lot of great studio filmmakers had mediocre scripts and actors to work with but still made great films. Douglas Sirk? Edgar G Ulmer?

I haven't read Schindler's Ark so maybe my criticism shoud be directed there not on Spielberg. "Spielberg makes some of the most complex films of the big studios these days"...that's hardly a challenge though is it? Who's his competition? Michael Bay? Having said that, I would argue that David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, David O. Russell, Tim Burton, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson are all Studio...

I'm finishing up a wedding video I did for a friend of mine, and the audio during some of the conversations is really bad, so I'm trying to cover it up with a song I wrote. But for some reason the only music that FCE will let me import is music that I bought from the iTunes store. Thats really ironic because I would have thought they'd have some copyrights issues or something. I tried to import from GarageBand and it still...

glorified a sycophant. IMDb is really not that important, so calm yourself.

Ive seen just about everything Steven has had his hands in and totally respect the guy. At the end of the day its his decision what happens, he's earned that I think and we have to accept it. My key concern is that perhaps those that work closest to him don't give him their true opinion when faced with possibilities in post production. In this I mean that just because the sky is the limit, doesnt mean we have to go there. The largest...

It's like they're all hands off for some reason, and yet that Jon and Kate and their children are on every magazine cover, every channel ad nauseum. Blech. People like you are the reason people like me take medication. --Jenna Leigh
