Yeah Van Sant can be interesting and sometimes masterly is a cinematic master but Spielberg is a master highly overrated. His high low points greatly out weigh his lows highs and any none of Van Sants best.
I agree, 100%. I haven't seen much Spielberg though, just Jaws, which sucks, Close Encounters, which sucks, E.T., which is one of the worst films ever, the 4th Indiana Jones, which was the worst film I saw last year, and Jurassic Park, which is fun.
