Yeesh!
Brilliant example of middle-mind thinking in the British journalist from yesterday's Guardian.
Film critic Peter Bradshaw was writing about Clint Eastwood's new film 'Flags Of our Fathers' when he said "Steven Spielberg is a producer of this film, and its beach landing scenes owe an awful lot to Saving Private Ryan. In fact, the concept of removing soldiers from war by a compassionate quirk of procedure and fate is also similar. But Eastwood goes much, much further than Spielberg. He takes on some taboos that Spielberg wouldn't touch with a bargepole - or a flagpole."
Yes, he wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, except in the little matter of PRODUCING THE FILM.
