'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I bet Kubrick convinced George Lucas that what The Phantom Menace needed was Jar Jar....
Yeah, the ending of AI was Kubrick's idea. But then, he'd spent 20 years fussing over various versions of the script and still wasn't happy with it. And the rest of the Spielberg script was based on a treatment that Kubrick had rejected 10 years earlier.
I bet Kubrick convinced George Lucas that what The Phantom Menace needed was Jar Jar....
Nah, that was Scott Baio.
Hah!
I remember some discussion of an ending where they don't tell David that she'll disappear, and then she does and David is shocked...or something like that.
Also t stands by P-C
Yeah, the ending of AI was Kubrick's idea.
And what's Rueben Stoddard doing now? Nothing that's what. Effing Kubrick.
