Bay:*whimpers" No sir
Speilberg: get it right then b1tch!
Well, he's been known (rumored?) to do just that. Poltergeist was being directed by the guy who did Texas Chainsaw Massacre (don't get me wrong I'm a fan)...while Spielberg exec produced. But, if you watch that movie, it has Spielberg's fingerprints ALL OVER IT. It oozes Spielberg... and it's a terrific movie for it (one of my fave movies- period- of all time).
Though I'm sure he didn't co-opt the following to the same extent as Poltergeist (is rumored)... his "touch" is quite evident in stuff like Batteries Not Included, Joe vs Volcano (another great movie) and even more recently Men in Black... all exec produced by him but not directed.
There's no denying that even as a producer, he excercises quite a bit of influence. It's just obvious.
