Tom Hanks as Abe Lincoln?

[Arthur Dent]

Hard to decide when Spielberg "jumped the shark". I mean, this is the guy who created Jaws and executive produced and co-wrote Poltergeist! Yet completely pussified Chrichton's novel Jurasic Park. And, yes, Schindler's list was a great film, but could have been so much more shocking and disturbing. I think that was his last hurrah.

Spielberg has just become an overly sentimental pussy.

And Spielberg's big TV project is "Taken" for the sci-fi channel all about alien abduction. Just hope it's not a really long rehash of "Close Encounters".
