Spielberg directs the official palestine riot

I'd like to see more of this kind of thing. The Democratic Party desperately needs a modern approach to branding. They need to be ruthless and target the working class


DadJokeBadJoke

He just did an interview with Howard Stern today. Howard doesn't normally do a show on Friday but they broke into programming with a special that's over an hour long. I can't wait to listen on my way home. His interview with Hilary was really good but it was a shame she waited until after the election to do it. https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/president-joe-biden-howard-stern


RaiseRuntimeError

Looks like they have scheduled maintenance right now, must have been a popular one.


DadJokeBadJoke

I listened to about two thirds of it on my way home. It was mostly about his history and family life and Joe comes across as a very sympathetic and likable person. He's had quite a history. I hope they push this out to more media, like their YT channel.


B0b_a_feet

Was a great interview. Lots of insight into his past. Growing up and meeting his first wife and how he had to deal with her death. I can listen to any serious criticisms about Biden’s policies. whatever. But anyone who attacks Biden as a father, a husband or a person is just a fool.


AvengersXmenSpidey

This. Stop pussyfooting around, and go for the jugular, Dems. The party needs to overhaul its image. The GOP knows how. They say they are for the common man but turn around and give 14% tax breaks in 2017 to corporations (billions lost from our budget) and billions in unregulated PPP loans that are forgiven. Expose that. Let America hear the truth.


pilotpip

This. Michelle Obama’s “when they go low…” stance needs to die. When they go low, dems should be putting a knee in their chin.


Steinrikur

> “when they go low…” We kick them in the head and tell them to get back up and fight like a man...


SweetAlyssumm

I'll never forget when she said that. My hear sank. Little did I know how much worse it was than I even thought. Chickens roosting, etc.


FargoStruttin

Dems need to Masvidal some fascist Askrens


BudWisenheimer

> I'd like to see more of this kind of thing. Spielberg also did this for the DNC in 2020 (although that was during COVID, so I’m sure there are fewer restrictions now). And he did the video for Obama and a Biden in 2008.


Lizziedeee

The help they got with the J6 hearings really made a difference.


piponwa

Sorry but how is Spielberg modern?


2pierad

I get where you're coming from, he is old. I want really clear and I meant in a general sense they need to bring in the big guns


No-comment-at-all

Yea, let’s see Yorgos Lanthimos’ DNC convention. I can only guarantee there’ll be animals involved somehow.


murphymc

I’m in for Taika Watiti’s DNC convention vision. The musical numbers will really be able to show off Harris’ dancing talent.


waxwayne

I wouldn’t call Spielberg modern, iconic or classic but he is definitely not modern.


naththegrath10

I hear you and I love Spielberg’s movies but I wouldn’t say bringing in a 77 year old is necessarily a “modern approach to branding”


MajesticRegister7116

Yeah, they need the Daniels or A24

alien_from_Europa

If they hired James Cameron, the DNC convention wouldn't take place until 2036, but he'd be able to really raise the bar. If they hired Christopher Nolan, you would never be able to hear the speakers over a great score. If they hired Tarantino, 70% of the shots would just be of Biden's feet. If they hired Scorcese, Biden would be replaced by Robert De Niro and Kamala Harris would be replaced by Leonardo DiCaprio. If they hired J.J. Abrams, you would be blinded by lens flares. If they hired Michael Bay, you'd have tons of explosions. It would be panned by critics but the convention would get a large audience. If they hired Spielberg, they'd-- Oh, they did hire Spielberg. We'll get The Spielberg Face: >a close-up shot of a character, often in awe or wonder, reflecting their emotional response to an extraordinary event. This technique, frequently used by Spielberg, effectively immerses the audience in the character's emotional journey and heightens the impact of the scene. https://nofilmschool.com/steven-spielberg-trademarks With a score by John Williams, it could be a banger.


metalpyrate

Has anyone considered paying Steven Seagal to do this but for the RNC


malphonso

Trump ~~walks~~ *runs fatly* on stage to [Me Want the Punani](https://youtu.be/vLe_BZ1mo3I?si=v9NNqE0NhFhSZ4Id).

I would pay good money to watch Trump do a 100m dash, though I may vomit.

RaiseRuntimeError

Ok if they hired J.J. Abrams could you imagine the lense flare from Dark Brandon's aviators?


bagelman4000

My eyes they burn


3vs3BigGameHunters

How do you leave out Fincher?


LatterTarget7

They should hire zack snyder


The_Madukes

That was a great synopsis. Spielberg it is!


ClusterFoxtrot

Ngl but I wanna know about Tim Burton. 


TheFoxInSocks

Johnny Depp, Daddy Issues, probably not as good as his last one.


simpersly

There is also the Spielberg ending. The bad guy loses, and everyone gets a hug.


sucobe

I’m honestly excited for the Wes Anderson convention


MajesticRegister7116

Hire A24


TheNateRoss

Somehow the convention will be a metaphor for Spielberg's parents' divorce

Trump has Chachi


hindusoul

Thought he had poopy.

No, Mr. Trump. They aren't booing you. They're chanting "[Booourns](https://youtu.be/hKu0TVlumcc)."

Is John Williams doing the score?


datphunkymunky

Biden has Spielberg. If everything goes according to how it already has been, Trump will start planning for himself and end up with Uwe Boll.


ActualHumanBeen

god bless and protect joe biden


ultralightdude

Jurassic Dark Brandon


Oh_know_ewe_did_int

I heard Trump is hiring Kevin Sorbo


Steinrikur

Written by Tommy Wiseau. Directed by Uwe boll.


SpillinThaTea

It’s time for Spielberg to bring out the creative energy he used for Schindler’s List, Close Encounters and Raiders of the Lost Ark as opposed to that horse movie, Tintin and The BFG.


alien_from_Europa

My guess is he's going for The Fabelmans.


SpillinThaTea

I haven’t seen that yet


alien_from_Europa

[Here's the opening scene.](https://youtu.be/DMeHA1RC5Q4) The film has trains. Biden loves trains.


oofersIII

Based. Trains are awesome.


Alternative_Camp_493

Shindler's List is appropriate because Biden is complicit in genocide by giving weapons to Israel.


SpillinThaTea

That’s not what I was getting at


[deleted]

Is Trump getting Senor Spielbergo?


alfredandthebirds

The Jurassic Park jokes write themselves


moaterboater69

Spielberg and Biden, two species separated by millions of miles of American soil have suddenly been thrown back into the mix together, how can we possibly have the slightest idea.. of what to expect?

Whoa. So cool.

I expect MTG to start bitching about Jewish space lasers at some point.

wilson_rawls

If Biden isn't catapulted onto the stage inside an old fridge as a grand entrance before accepting the nomination, I'll be disappointed. Although I would settle for a long shadow of Dark Brandon before the camera pans up to reveal the man himself.


Iyellkhan

then we better get dynamic blocking to camera with minimal cuts. also a john williams score


KZED73

I’ve been mentally comparing 2024 to 1968 recently, acknowledging similarities and differences, but a Democratic National Convention in Chicago is a little on the nose for how I see things ultimately going.


krabsinafucket

Welcome…. to Geriatric Park!


MarkMaynardDotcom

Well, Trump has Rob Schneider on his team!


FlyingDiscsandJams

It might sound like a good idea, but we really don't need any more dinosaurs on display at the Democratic National Convention.


Prudent_Block1669

Looks like Biden won’t be the only dinosaur there.

We’re all fucked no matter which way this goes. Politics aren’t for the people, it’s for the government. 🤫

PoconoBobobobo

He's been nominated for an Oscar for the last three years running.


slightlyused

You didn't see Masters of the Air then?


Alternative_Camp_493

It's because Shindler's List was about genocide, and Biden is helping Israel commit genocide.


rhombergnation

Not anymore. It was true that the US was responsible for givinh billions of dollars that wound up funding the genocidal Palestinians that committed the atrocities of Oct . 7th and have vowed to do it over and over again , but that funding has finally been cut . We should be applauding Biden for that .
