It's confusing to me that someone with such immense talent just..doesn't work that much. Is he like taking a page out of

The reason that PTA's films are so great is because he takes his time and puts a lot of care into crafting them.
Writer/directors can be great AND prolific. Look at
Ingmar Bergman
and
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
for example. -

Not arguing that, but directors like Bergman, Fassbinder and Robert Altman are t16d0he exception rather than the rule. Not many artists can live up to that kind of pace, and the level of creative freedom for auteurs seems to have diminished over the years.

Stanley Kubrick was doing the same, just like Tarantino still does it. You don't have to be a Spielberg who associate his name with any trash as long as he makes money. These director take their time and give us constant quality. I also love hardly working directors like Ridley Scott, they just do the things differently.

Spielberg WAS a sure thing when we looked for quality. Back in the time he was investing more time in filmmaking than in the business around it. Now, he ruined Indiana Jones, totally made me asleep with Lincoln (no, it is NOT a bad movie It is just kinda long and boring) and seemed to use his last breath while making Brige of Spies (once again not a bad movie but just kinda empty and lame for Spielberg's standards imo). This is about the movies he directed, because you get me started with naming the movies he produced that were just utter garbage i'd fill a trash can.

I find it weird you'd thin he's "not interested in films" because he's only made a few. Was Kubrick not interested in films? he only made 13. Tarantino is a huge fan of films and he's been around longer than PTA and he's only made 9 hes' had about the same pace.
Also I think that you will soon realize this is my signature.
