"After taking a tour bus to Universal Studios, a chance conversation with an executive led to Spielberg getting a three-day pass to the premises. On the fourth day, he walked up to the studio gates without a pass, and the security guard waved him in: 'I basically spent the next two months at Universa"
"Steven Spielberg got his start by showing up to Universal Studios uninvited."
"Jewish Americans are responsible for 70% of classic American cinema. However, Israel, a country that is 80% Jewish, has failed to produce even one classic movie. They even had to rely on Spielberg to make Munich. what gives?"
"I'm reading the huge praise for the new Steven Spielberg adaptation of West Side Story, and you would have to pay me a few hundred dollars to make me sit through it."

"It's rumored that Todd Fields involvement turned into a close apprenticeship to Kubrick for the last years of his life- a position many other directors claim to have fulfilled (like goofy faced Spielberg)"
"The only reason I can imagine people actually liked this movie is because the money was spent to make it look like a Spielberg movie. It has all the camera tricks and hallmarks of a Douglas Slocombe mixed with Janus Kaminski type picture, but the scenes therein are truly moronic."
