Thanks Neo!
@Neo,
Thanks Neo for your reply. Spielberg appears to be consistent with all the other entertainment industry Far Lefties! Though it seems that the
viewing public is finally showing some contempt for their shockingly smug attitudes?
I'm reminded of something I read many years ago when he was interviewed regarding some obscure point in "CEotTK". The gist of this seemed to be that the movie's content had to be adjusted to what the public Expected, rather than what might have any kind of basis in fact. Of course $ale$ are the obvious goal, so turning a Good Dystopian book into a Disney story is a let down, but hardly surprising.
Maybe another "ET"? I'm going to check out that book! My Wife and I are some of those that are sort of disgusted with the Tinsel Town attitude right now though.
I'm not an advocate for a Dystopian future by any stretch, but some of the most compelling stuff in that genre are William Gibson's books.
