Should have used one of Darcy's scorching one-liners about Lizzie's mom.

I've also heard that Spielberg wasn't supposed to be cheating on the high-budget E.T. by going and directing at another studio. But I think the truth is he just showed up at Poltergeist and steamrolled Tobe Hooper.

Spanglish caused me to fall in love with James Brooks.

was just in the act of commenting on Connie's wedding. Yes! Some mafiosos around, which is kinda cool, but mostly people ages 1-100 chilling out and eating unbelievable food with that nice band, dancing and probably telling fantastic stories…

"The producer may do any or all of the following. And they usher the film from pre-production through distribution. Or not."

The Shrieking Shack scene in PoA is better than the entire rest of the film series.

I didn't realize that until I listened to him in 5 Came Back. Yeah, he totally is.

And where does E.T. sit when he flies Car Elliot across the moon?

It sucks, but everyone knows that if you're the minority (a woman) you have to be twice as perfect to achieve the same amount. S***talking Steven Spielberg in public is maybe the least effective way to get your point across in Hollywood. I just flipped over to the Hollywood Reporter, and they carried this story as 2…

"to say nothing of ever having POC/WOC being major protagonists in his films"

She has a strong emotional and psychological tie to the protagonist of a character driven story. If you think she doesn't affect the action, then you're not claiming Goodfellas is an example of Scorsese being sexist, you're arguing that Scorsese is a sh***y storyteller.

Ginger in Casino is probably the sleaziest major role for a woman in a Scorsese movie, a literal gold digging prostitute and a drug addict, who, as a bonus, is also a terrible mom. But she is naive, too—her helpless love for Lester, and the way she keeps making idiot sacrifices to help him; the way she hates herself…

Scorsese has created absolutely stunning roles for women AND does everything in his power to amplify diverse voices in film.

I think that to see how much he cares about diverse voices/viewpoints, it would make more sense to look at his decisions as a producer. Although, that seems like a lot of work…

Speaking from the towering authority of never having edited a movie, doesn't this only save the editor like 1% of the work?

That's interesting. My husband and I got into one of the worst fights of our entire relationship because I didn't love Saving Private Ryan *enough*.

It's pretty dark. It's so sad when George sees that his brother and everybody on the transport ship died, but that was really just a coincidence. The way the town falls apart without him, because people are just not strong enough to stand up to evil and greed, that's dark. That's a bleak world view.
