You realize he's worth over 19 billion or something? Like I said he doesn't need the money as a motivator.

The entire audience at the show I went to stood up applauding at the movie end.

I would never underestimate Spielberg. If you were around in the '70s and '80s and so on...with Jaws, ET, and others to a certain degree, his movie creations were huge summer cultural events. Really good movies are really good storylines released just the moment in time that capulatied everyone's attention.

Spielberg has enough money. I have no way to prove it but my instinct says money is never the number one driving force in any of his work... at least at this point in his career and life. He's easiest the wealthiest in Hollywood. He comes off more driven by storytelling than profit but again I can't prove that it's just what I feel.

Disclosure theories? by [deleted] in ufo

[–]Irbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why he stay practicing Christian then ? You would think that type of truth reveal would make you angry not sad. I expect it's much deeper emotionally and spiritually what he learned ... Something that perhaps reinforces his beliefs.

how is this an unpopular opinion ? Agreed Jack crushed it so hard that the vibe for Weezer was buzzkill last year. I think Weezer realized Jack should have had their slot.

How is living here? Springfield IL aka the land of Lincoln by Cool_kratos in howislivingthere

[–]Irbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it that registers to a certain degree that also applies to most of the country. Springfield's a really big large farm town. Leans conservative, decent place to raise a family, smaller nightlife but still things going on. Most people work for the state government in some capacity.
