Top questions to ask A.I.:

  • When did Spielberg become Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • Which movie established Spielberg as Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • Did Raiders Of The Lost Ark establish Spielberg as Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • Was Raiders Of The Lost Ark the movie that put Spielberg on top of Hollywood?
  • In what year did Spielberg become Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • Why is A.I. afraid to admit that Raiders Of The Lost Ark put Spielberg on top of Hollywood?
  • Why won’t A.I. admit the accurate year when Spielberg became Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • What month of what year did Spielberg become Hollywood’s most successful director?
  • What month of what year did Spielberg become Hollywood’s highest grossing director?

 

ANSWERS FROM A.I.:  Conflicting.  Slimy.  Dishonest.  Insulting.  Irrelevant information.  Quite funny.

“I’m pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have in fact caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers.  But as you see, it’s a beautiful day.  The beaches are open.  And people are having a wonderful time.  Amity, as you know, means friendship.”  -a political response from Jaws…with many similarities to how A.I. has answered many of these questions

 

The History Of Hollywood Since 1966

June 20, 2025 by Blogging For 20 Years • Crime, Entertainment, Financial, History, News, Religion, Society, Success • 0 Comments

  • The late 1960’s/early 1970’s:  the film industry struggling for economic survival.
  • 1972-1981:  70% of The Next Spielberg’s Top Ten Films from August 2002
  • 1972-2003:  Hollywood’s 2nd best over the course of 32 years totals to just 209 movies.
  • 1975-2002:  From Jaws to Signs…Iconic summer movies
  • 2002-2005:  Word-of-mouth success at the box-office for a trilogy of faith-based lightning-in-a-bottle movies.
  • 2004-2022:  Hollywood’s 2nd best over the course of just 19 years skyrockets to over 1,000 movies.
  • 2023-early 2025:  Hollywood arsonists burning down their prestigious movie awards.  (The Oscars and the DGA awards)

 

(*Hollywood’s 2nd best…the number of movies that outgross the Best Picture winners at the yearly box-office.)

“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”  –from a 2008 blockbuster directed by a future arsonist

A More Grateful Spielberg

June 20, 2025 by Blogging For 20 Years • Entertainment, Success • 0 Comments

“John Williams saves yet another life and gives our picture, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, a new, refreshing life of its own.  Thanks, John.”   –Steven Spielberg, April 1981

John Williams On Success

June 20, 2025 by Blogging For 20 Years • Entertainment, Financial, Success • 0 Comments

“…if any of us could predict what ingredients or what series of mental attitudes could be strung together to create that kind of success, if we could do it on order, we’d all be multi-billionaires.  But you can’t.  It’s more elusive and more subtle, and as a consequence more interesting and even more fun.”  –John Williams on success, from the CD soundtrack of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. (April 1995)

Courage vs Arrogance

June 20, 2025 by Blogging For 20 Years • Entertainment, Success • 0 Comments

SPIELBERG’S COURAGE IN 1974 vs SPIELBERG’S ARROGANCE IN 1999

“I think because I was younger, I was more courageous…or I was more stupid.  I’m not sure which.  So when I think of Jaws, I think about courage and stupidity.”  –Steven Spielberg, decades after directing Jaws

If there was an element of stupidity to Spielberg’s efforts on directing Jaws, then I’d say somebody was looking out for him back then.  Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Spielberg?

 

Access To The 1975 Theatrical Version

June 20, 2025 by Blogging For 20 Years • Entertainment, Society • 0 Comments

THE 1975 THEATRICAL VERSION vs THE 2000 DVD VERSION

  • The 1975 theatrical version available on VHS, thus nearly impossible for an entire generation to experience Jaws in any similar way to how audiences experienced the movie from 1975 thru 2000.
  • The laughable 2000 DVD version sold to an entire generation without any notice of any kind, with its laughable sound effects and diminished score.

Jaws & Jaws: The Revenge

Some folks in the media trying to cloud the clear distinction between the 1975 classic and the failed 1987 sequel.
