Regarding Minority Report: I don’t think I’ve noticed this before, but the title is a complete red herring, right? Does Agatha ever have a differing vision from the twins that we see? In fact, there was no reason to delete the vision of the first attempted murder of mom because it was no doubt accurate. It’s the echo that would’ve been compromising but that was deleted right away and never made it to storage.

Seemed silly to create a spoiler thread for a movie from 2002 or whenever.

I think the Minority Report in the title may be the one that John hopes exists for himself to clear his name. But still a red herring I suppose.

I have just watched 1941, it is a strong contender for the worst Spielberg film, it was rubbish. Will have to say this thou, what a cast.

The Fabelmans (2022)

I'm a sucker for Spielberg so of course a film about his life is going to be almost guaranteed hit for me. Sure, the footage he shot as a kid is presented way too professional and well edited to be believable and there are moments where the themes are spelled out a little too clearly but by the end there are too many great scenes that still stick with me and make me want to watch it again. And the biting family drama here so tense it's like watching a train-wreck unfold scene after scene.
