Sorry. That post was dripping with sarcasm and was in response to the condescending comment about "Jerry's audiences".
I enjoyed the film alot.
I always wondered, is that a laser ray the Borg have for an eye? Could it shoot a laser beam? Just wonderin........

Or is your point that he couldn't pursue that because of the nature of the business?
That's my point. And it's not much of a victory because that's the way it turns out with utopian revolutions.

If so, that isn't much of a victory. If they'd won, wouldn't the studio system itself been entirely dismantled (in a way it was, but with even more corporate minded morons stepping in instead of artist types?)
They wanted to dismantle it at first but really just ended up replacing the earlier conservative regime with their own.....themselves.
Did Lenin give the land back to the peasants or did the revolutionary proletarian guard replace one corrupt system with another?
Utopias only get you so far and the consequences can have the opposite intented effect.

As for GL needing to start ILM to make SW ... if he'd been willing to work with Trumbull instead of dictate to him, I bet he wouldn't have needed to form ILM to make SW ... and I bet SW would have looked better than it did.
I think Trumbull had his hands full on another little film....with UFOs and stuff.

CE3K wasn't a go at this point, so if GL had grabbed Trumbull, it would be Spielberg who would have been short an fx company ... hmm, interesting alternate history here ...
No, but I laughed. Ahem is apparently above that kind of silly humour....that's why he said it was designed for "Jerry's audiences".

How cn we tell if there's a nomination out there that pulls an upset like Gladiator did if it's considered a "better overall" film?
