Pretty much how I read it though a bit overboard in characterization.
The story comes off to me as: Knuth calling Jobs out for flattery/embellishment. I bet everyone Steven Spielberg meets tells him he's their favorite director and they've seen all his movies. But if you look at the numbers for Empire of the Sun that just isn't possible.
- briggsbio 15y agoI can't say that I've watched all of Spielberg's movies, but EotS is one of my favorite movies. I was astounded that Bale dropped off the face of the earth for a while after that. But with Batman, Machinist, American Psycho, etc., I'm glad he made a comeback.
- officemonkey 15y agoI would tell Spielberg that I think Sidney Lumet was a better director.
- Steko 15y agoI bet he'd take that gracefully, most people have both up in the top percentile.
