sorry. answer was wrong. he wrote the screenplay for a.i. but not the screen story or the source material.
and as far as close encounters
"paul shrader wrote the original script. When speilberg, changed a great deal of it, Schrader decided to remove his credit. Since the film couldn't be left with no credit for writing, Spielberg claimed it for himself." -imdb
and thats in addition to the other 4 or 5 writers that worked on the script.
but i will give him some credit because he also didnt write hook, always , or amistad.
Not writing some of the source material doesn't make you any less of a good writer. People who think it's easy to turn a good book into a good screenplay or a good short story into a full length feature have obviously never tried it.
i agree that none of these things makes you a bad writer.
but you mentioned spielberg as a great writer and someone who was only interested in original ideas and i am simply proving you wrong by showing how he is actually a mediocre writer as well as someone whose best films have been based on others ideas .
actually minority report was expanded into a novel and was/is fairly popularI can see where this got all mixed up - when I said he was only interested in original ideas, I didn't say "he's only interested in original ideas that he created." Basically what I'm saying is that everyone has heard of Batman and Wonderwoman and the Xmen and Spiderman, etc. So he wouldn't do that kind of movie... it's not "original enough". But no one had ever heard of Minority Report for instance, he finds it, he takes that original idea, applies his vision, and turns an obscure short story into a full length feature for the world. It's the IDEA that is original, not that he's the originator of the idea.
I think it would be incredibly entertaining if the entire film featured an ongoing overdub narration by Morgan Freeman instead of normal character development.

...I mean, how often do you really look at a man's shoes?
Seriously, someone should try and take clips from Batman Begins and splice it with Freeman narrating something, like the mock trailers that twist the idea of the film.

i did. i told you what i thought of your idea about a clockwork orange in the suit thread. the only other thing said by me regarding you was that i didn't like the way you thought. also...kick the n00b is tons of funt: you want i should give that up? stick up for yourself next timeHow big of you to say that you don't like my opinions to a group of people who spent their evening playing kick the newbie behind the newbies back...
Next time you might try responding to me directly when I post them.
Back on topic:
TDK will not just be another comicbook movie; it will be a movie of epic proportions.
BB wasnt a standard comic book movie? yes it was.
the majority's verdict doesn't make a fact, either.
I understand what you mean.
But although I think that particularly GoogleMe is just him being him, I have to say that going against the public opinion when you can't help it is only natural. Of course, it could be boring to the other guy. Personally, when I hear praises about the LotR Trilogy or Transformers, I just can't resist starting a whole conversation about how I disagree. So, in that respect, I understand GoogleMe.
