As many TFE readers know. I am not particularly fond of Mr. Spielberg. So, I bow to me pal Nick today as he goes on this articulate rampage. My birthday is over... but somehow I felt this was written just for me (note: it wasn't). So, er, happy belated me.
OscarWatch tells us that everyone loves War of the Worlds but I count at least three (Nick, L'Ebert, and David Poland) who don't --and I haven't even starting reading reviews. 'Everyone' minus several critics apparently.
Oh, it's always for you, Nathaniel. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug. Was feeling self-conscious about having gotten so worked up, etc.
"War of the Worlds" is a minor Spielberg, but even a minor Spielberg is always better than mediocre efforts such as "Lord of the Rings" or "Moulin Rouge".
ReplyDelete...that was an extremely random jab at two 4 year old movies.
