Callaghan wrote the best article for my blog !

That is a good article!

Also noticed and read your Jaws breakdown, very nice! I like your comment about starting with a closeup. Btw, never knew that Spielberg was 26 when he directed Jaws! I'm 25...could I direct Jaws next year? Sheesh! Must work faster+harder...
 
Steve is an anomally

Think

Scorsese was 34 w/ Taxi Driver

Coppola was 33 w/ The GOdfather

De Palma was 36 w/ Carrie

Carpenter was 30 w/ Hallwoeen

Cameron was 30 w/ The Terminator

Coens were 30 w/ Blood Simple

Quentin was 31 w/ Pulp Fiction

Raimi was in his mid 30's with several Cultiush horror films under his belt but was 43 when he finally did Spidey

Jackson was 41 w/ Lord of the Rings

There's always hope !
 
And you have to remember to work within YOUR timeframe, not Steven's.

You'll NEVER have his career, but you will have YOURS. I'm sure it will turn out just fine.
 
Fun article. And I like your blog's new look, John.

He had me up until Gladiator...I find it kind of hard to believe that will be on any lists in a hundred years. No point arguing it though, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. :)

You mean the Academy Award winning film wont be considered a classic ?

I love Gladiator. Joaquin is the man in it. :Drogar-Evil(DBG):

You got less time than you think...
Welles was still 25 when he helmed Kane

Like it or leave it, you can't argue that as freshman (first) films go,
this puppy will never be licked
 
Winning an Academy Award hardly means a film was very good, much less being a classic.

Although I love Gladiator. :beer:
