Steven Spielberg Jumps The Shark
I think we all preferred his earlier, funnier movies. Before he, like Woody Allen, decided he needed to be take seriously.
A man's got to know his limitations. Spielberg was great at pulp adventure and surburban fantasy. Not really the "imporatant prestige drama" whose form he is determined to master.
But it's been 12 years since he actually wowed anyone. Murph figures that by taking ten minutes here, fifteen minutes there from his last twelve years' of work, you could actually construct a good 120 minute movie.
