Reply #6: While I agree about the most recent Star Wars films, I don't think [View All]

that Spielberg and Lucas suck nearly as much as 60% of the film directors out there right now. I actually enjoyed Indy 4, while I haven't enjoyed most of the movies I've borrowed from the library or seen in the theater in the past 5 years. Hell, the last two movies I WORKED on I never bothered watching because the dailies had been painful enough. One of the many reasons why I no longer work in that industry is because it sucks to spend a year of your life working on something and all the while thinking "now, just WHY did the studio think this piece of crap was worth greenlighting"? I was recently catching up with a former coworker who directed the Jackie Chan/ Jet Li movie "The Forbidden Kingdom". He's always been a bit of a screw up,and his reputation in the industry isn't good at all-but he always lands big budget projects to work on! Why?? I honestly don't know. People who don't even understand the mechanics of shooting a sequence get gigs directing big budget films! At least Spielberg and Lucas know continuity and when to switch from a long shot to a close up, which is more than can be said for many directors out there.
