long live movie credits!!

And people wonder why I say that Spielberg has degenerated into a hack. A recent interview with filmmakers, including M. Spielberg, declares that opening credits are superfluous, non-sensical, and boring to audiences.

...

WTF? Are they insane? "Credits really spoil the fun"? This from a man who says that his animated sequence at the beginning of the groan-worthy drivel that was "Catch Me if You Can" (the only good part of the movie) was put in specifically to "get the audience in the mood for fun." Therefore, 1) Make up your damn mind, fun or unfun. 2) Stop making crappy movies. and 3) Don't knock the art-form until you learn to use it properly and with some kind of consistency.

Long live Bass and Cooper. And Spielberg, bite me.
