Reply to comment by Matches_Malone83 in Wednesday is one of the most fun shows I've seen in a while by hufflesnuff

I think he falls into the same trap Spielberg falls into on occasion where he receives so much praise he gets lost up his own asshole thinking every thought he has is gold. He practically launched into a tirade at a passing joke from Kevin Smith that was in no way possibly offensive.

Where has Spielberg done that?

Also, bitch, you watch Walking Dead. That show is ass now and you're talking quality? You like seeing people walk in circles around a forest every week?

I take it you didn't see the documentary on it where Spielberg said he didn't want to do it (he said Last Crusade was the final one and he intentionally had them ride off into a literal sunset). In the doc, he said Lucas and Harrison Ford kept badgering and calling him to do it. Spielberg finally relented. Can't go hard on a director when he wasn't feeling the script (blame Lucas for approving that script) but felt an obligation to two old friends and colleagues to go in one more time.

Also, Spielberg in the last 10 years has had Munich, War Horse, Lincoln, Bridge of Spies, The Post (two excellent movies nobody saw), and West Side Story all get nominated for Best Picture. 6 movies in 10 years - Tim Burton doesn't even have one BP nominated film. They are not the same.

Spielberg didn't write Indy 4 and it's issues largely come down to writing, it's still a pretty good,fun movie with a lot of exciting and memorable setpieces. Spielberg doesn't exclusively make great movies but he's not a guy who's anywhere near as indulgent as Tim Burton, or a guy who thinks every thought he has is gold.
