Spielberg on Spielberg

Save the comments. It's not anything erotic in nature. It is however the title of a new 90 minute documentary that will be airing in July on Turner Classic Movies about the director's films. I'm assuming that there's bound to be something about John Williams in there. Anyway, I know it's still a long ways off but I thought I'd give everybody a heads up if you didn't already know. TCM is fantastic and so I expect this will be slightly better than something you might find about Spielberg on some other channel.

Thank you for putting that thought into my brain. I think I'm gonna :micro: myself now.

Seriously though, thanks for the heads up. :wave:

Awesome! This also probably means they'll be showing a lot of Spielberg's films then.

Ozzel - who still has never seen Duel, Always, or even The Color Purple, all of which pop up on TCM occasionally.

I don't think so. I think it's a TCM original production by the guy who did the "Men who Make the Movies" series. The same guy also did a feature on Woody Allen a couple of years ago for TCM that was good. Allen sat down and basically discussed each (or most) of the films he'd made.

Yeah, it's not like we're talking about Williams on Williams. LOL

This isn't the same one that aired on the BBC is it?

That one was only an hour long.

speaking of which, you still have that recording of it right :mrgreen:

Yes. I promised I would upload it on Spielberg's birthday. ;)

You saint ;)

I Tivo'd it back when the BBC showed it, but my mum has to go and accidentally delete it...

I asked only last week why we don't have a tivo - HDD - DVD recorder combo (they have freeview & HDD).

My dad told me they'll buy one as soon as some company starts making one...

The shelves upon shelves of VHS we still have are purely for decorational purposes these days.

Even my mom has asked several times why the hell we don't have a proper harddisc recorder yet.

To which my dad grumbles something about "still having to look into that."

Because your dad is wise, and knows there is nothing on TV nowadays worth recording.

Will this be a book too? Like Scorsese on Scorsese or Lynch On Lynch. Those books are very candid as the filmaker's discuss in great detail their work, what they were going through personally at the time and how they see their films now. I think every major director should put such a book out.

I don't think so - unfortunately. I only have a few of those books (Gilliam, Scorsese and Burton), but I agree that they're fantastic.
