Steven Spielburg disses the movie

[kabuki_darling at hotmail.com]

I just heard on the radio a major insult from Spielburg, about the 
upcoming HP movie. It went something like this:
'"The Harry Potter is too easy, I purposely passed on the chance to 
direct it. At this point in my career, I need a challenge. I want to 
film more...authentic films. Harry Potter is like ducks in a barrel 
(*what does that mean?*). It'd be taking a million dollars to put in 
my bank."' You get the gist. We all know that he just didn't like 
that they didn't want Haley Joel Osman for Harry Potter. And what's 
this about authentic? As if his little alien films are much more 
authentic? Don't get me wrong I think he's made some great movies but 
still...
