Stealing An Idea from Frink. Who is the Better Producer Lucas or Spielberg?

Lucas Produced

Howard the Duck

Radioland Murders

Young Indiana Jones

4 indiana jones movies and 6 star wars films.

Spielberg Produced

Back to the Future

Gremlins

Goonies

Seaquest

Earth2

Transformers 1 and 2 Bayformers.

Taken

Did he co produce Band of brothers?

Produced or executive produced?  I think everything that came through Amblin or comes through Dreamworks gets Speilberg an "Executive Producer" credit, even if he has nothing to do with it.

Spielberg will actually do things even if it's just using his name. Lucas seems to want to hole up in Skywalker Ranch.

No contest.

Are you suggesting the Lucas kids are not George's?  Do go on!

Isn't that sort of the hollywood deifintion of "producing?"  Not originally creating something, but helping it develop until it's finished?

You mean like having the idea for something and having someone better write and direct it.  Lucas used to be a good idea generator, and with other directors and writers put out excellent collaborative work.

Other than that his reputation as a director can be called into question since he only directed 3 good films and 3 very bad turkeys 1 a film and the others videos that looked like games.

Even his reputation as a financer of other films, and as an executive producer or producer can be called into question.

What has he done of any merit film culture beyond the original star wars and indiana jones trilogies?  And he directed only 1 of those.

Graffiti and Thx are seperate issues to me because they are more like extensions of his student film days.

Well his daughter the younger one i think leads the writing staff of clone wars.  The other one a sort of famous mmo fighter.

His son not sure if he will ever be a director.

Spielberg's kids what have they done.  Never heard of anything except his son urging indiana jones IV and look how that turned out.

The possibility of Lucas kids directing or writing the next star wars film series is probably non existent considering its probably written into his will their will be no more than six films and that the oot remain buried.

Personally, I think Gene Wilder was the better producer, but that isn't to down play Zero Mostel's character, he is definitely a very close second. But come to think of it, I have never seen any of the live productions, so I can't comment on any of those actors. There was also Larry David and David Schwimmer, but that was more of a parody. And please, let's not even mention Mathew Broderik and Nathan Lane...

*Blushes*

I bet you say that about all the threads...

If weekend wasn't hyphenated, that picture wouldn't be half as funny.
