For example: > Snip.... > Spielberg: This guy can't seem to tell a story without technology-- .....snip Haven't seen Twister, so I won't try to defend it, but please point out the technology used by Spielburg in: Sugarland Express Continental Divide The Color Purple Empire of the Sun and Schindler's List. Certainly his meg-hits have leaned heavy on technology, but I think your statement is a bit unfair. If you look a little closer at the entire careers (not just the films you disliked) of Lucas and Crighton, I'm sure you can find something of 'social significance' as well. And if you can't, try to relax and have som fun at the movies. Pass the Milk Duds. John Moore Manchester NH
