Poltergeist?

Should Poltergeist (1982 film) be added to this list? Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 22:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reorganizing

edit

Personally, I believe the whole page needs reorganization. There should ideally be three sections - first, the hypothetical projects (e.g. he expressed interest in there being a Close Encounters of the Third Kind 2) should be separated from the developed projects that were actually projects (e.g. Night Skies). I don't mind keeping films with unknown details in the latter category, but at least we could weed out those of the former and put them in their own section at the bottom of the page, as they were never really projects.

Second, I think films that he was attached to that ended up being handed over to other directors (e.g. him turning down White Lightning and handing over Interstellar) should be given its own section, as those films ended up getting made, just not by him, so it would be helpful for projects that were completed to be segregated from other unrealized productions that potentially could come back someday, which is a big part of why people come to this page.

And as an aside, The Adventures of Indiana Smith should not be treated as its own project, that is Indiana Jones in an early stage.

I'm willing to do it, I just wanted to see if their was consensus and/or objection. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 22:41, 14 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Should the offers remain

edit

I reorganized the page as proposed, and I just wanted to know if people want to keep the third category I created, "offers". These are the films that were either studio projects Spielberg was offered and turned down, or studio projects that Spielberg offered his services to and was turned down. Given that they were projects with no evidence that Spielberg was ever involved with as an active project, should they remain? SweetTaylorJames (talk) 07:38, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

POW/MIA WORLDWIDE

edit

this is about the world war II trailblazers as they went from Stalag12A to 9b Hitler's death camp. The notorious Lindbergh Germany Transit camp. Joe Demler was the "human skeleton" in Time Life Magazine. There are a few survivors from there. Some road on the Queen Elizabeth and some were with USS America. I've done all the research and I have all the names. And pictures of the survivors in the boat and on land. This book is dedicated to my POW/MIA buddies. I can only use first names as I wouldn't want them to be located. One of my friends was 3x Japan POW. They just kept coming back for him. I don't want this to happen to him or anyone else ever. I have another friend that was in Vietnam and left behind. He had escape himself. Mcbaldo (talk) 15:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
