If an algorithm existed that could create the most Spielberg-ian movie poster imaginable then this would be the result.
This poster is terrible. It has that feeling of twee that I worried might infect Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans”. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t imagine it being a bad movie, but it definitely has the potential to be an underwhelming one.
The test-screening reactions for “The Fabelmans” hinted at an overall “yeah, it’s good, but not great” vibe to them. I did however speak to one particular person who fell hard for the film, but the three other reactions were mostly positive but with reservations.
I will be attending the world premiere of Spielberg’s film this Saturday at TIFF. The plan is to immediately report back here with thoughts.
Is Burr right? Will “Digger” be the ‘Big Lebowski’ of 2026, a misunderstood bomb that finds its audience on home video? ‘Lebowski’ is hardly alone: “Blade Runner,” “The Shining” and “Fight Club” all followed the same path.
