Disclosure Day, Spielberg's new summer film
I’ve been thinking nonstop about #DisclosureDay since I saw it last night. Always a very good sign.
So happy Josh O'Connor is getting good roles since The Durrells of Corfu. 💕
I'm so ready for this one!
Yes, always an indicator. On the other hand, I watched the new SUPERMAN last night and today I couldn't actually outline the plot for you now. There was a cute dog though...
Oh nice. Yeah that always bumps a movie up a bit in my books. I've been enjoying your Spielberg posts lately.
I can't see it this week because of pride, but I damn well will the weekend after!
Since you are excited about this, being a huge x-files fan, I gotta ask, which two-parter episodes does this movie remind you of in terms of theme, plot and ideas?
Fired this up in preparation for Disclosure Day and it hit me...I haven't seen Close Encounters in maybe 45 years. Glad now that I haven't, it's completely fresh to me. Y'all, it is so good!
Watched it for the first time in like 20 years last night, still kicks all the ass. The ending kinda hits different now as a dad though lol
Dreyfuss was great. The alien musical sounds were fabulous.
omg the shaking railroad crossing sign. So stagey but so fun. We're putting on a show here, folks!
"The sun came out last night and it sang to me"
Love when Dreyfuss is tossing the bushes into the house to make his giant model. (Poor Terri Garr.)
I saw it when it came out and have seen it a couple times since on VHS/DVD. Recently I got a 4k copy and watched it again. It's still an almost perfect film.
Maybe my favorite Spielberg film. And Roberts Blossom: "They can fly rings around the moon. But we're years ahead of 'em on the highway."
Here’s my advance review of Spielberg’s Disclosure Day. It’s a terrific movie. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...
Emily Blunt may be the best actor currently working in Hollywood
2015. Bridge of Spies. It is a GREAT movie. The climax (spoiler alert: on a bridge) is amazingly tense, with the movie expertly building up to it. Watch it if you haven't; rewatch it if you have. Otherwise - no argument. "Do you never worry?" "Would it help?"
One of the many things I love about Disclosure Day is that it's a complete refutation of the idea that there are two Steven Spielbergs, one the man who pleases the summer-blockbuster give-me-back-my-childhood fans, the other the Oscar guy. This is as personal a movie in its way as The Fabelmans.
One of my many biases about Spielberg is that I don't have a huge amount of patience with moviegoers who want their childhoods spoon-fed back to them. If after the way The Fabelmans and Disclosure Day both address the problems with doing that, you still want it from him...then I just [shrug emoji].
His best directing is capturing Forrest Gump and Ed Grimley doing the final scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. #martinshortdoc
