I too have been speculating quite a bit on all these Spielberg posts ;-). I will admit if
I see a movie I don't like I usually, automatically, blame the Director or Producer,
depending on which name has the most stature. I realize this is probably not being exactly
fair, but being your average ignorant consumer I feel as it's in my right ;-), and im
happy to say I have learned more about the production side of movies in the last few days
reading these posts. Who knows, Spielberg might of actually liked "*bni", there's a few
great questions that were brought up during this thread that would be perfect for a
Spielberg interview :-).
