I'm not post the whole thing but i will quote the last part:
Quint: Before I let you go, I do want to say that you need to quit beating up so much on Temple of Doom. I love that movie.Steven Spielberg: You know, sometimes I can’t help myself. But the greatest thing about Temple of Doom was I met Kate Capshaw and I have seven children. We’ve been married for almost 20 years and that was my win on that movie.
Quint: I met Kate very briefly at the War of the Worlds premiere in New York and I made sure to tell her “I know you probably don’t get it enough, but you’re great in Temple of Doom.”Steven Spielberg: You’re sweet. By the way, she is great in Temple of Doom and I’m very, very lucky to have found my life partner.
Quint: I love that movie because it’s so dramatically different from Raiders. The tone is different, you go from a suave villain in Belloq to a flashy villain in Mola Ram…Steven Spielberg: Right. Here’s the thing… for all the fans of Temple of Doom who think I beat up too much on it, those fans who beat up on George Lucas 24/7 at the drop of any fedora, I would just say please give George credit. He’s the one that made it dark, he’s the one that decided on the story and on the concept. For all those who love Temple of Doom, you’ve gotta give George credit.
Quint: I’ll absolutely give George credit for that.
Ok I'll give credit to George, I have a great love for Temple of Doom.
But it's also pretty funny because I know there's a lot of people that hate TOD, so does that mean Spielberg has given them permission to lay the blame on Lucas. It's also funny that Spielberg is fully aware of the hate Lucas gets from fans.
