The guy with the second best movie in that class must be pissed.

Badass

I've wondered, when someone like Steve or James Cameron want to work with a movie project, do they have to send CV's to someone?
geru
"So, Mr. Cameron. Could you tell us a little bit about projects you've worked with in the past? Anything I might have heard about?"

Sooooooo, WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH INDY 4!!!!!!
duckfan76
George Lucas helped to write it. The aliens were his idea
barrbluej
Placed out?
ekwalters
was given credit for the course w/o taking it, based on previous work/experience.
barrbluej
Thanks
DickDastardly404
Doesn't that just make him a dickhead?
kamosey
Wouldn't that make it university property?
joppetie
No.
FriendlyNeighbour
depends on the uni. Many schools let students and profs own their own research and work
kamosey
Cheers. Cause I think Schindler's List did pretty ok at the box office.
DexterityisKey
How did his professor grade it though
Kairamek
Overly harsh and critical. Dude was like a film nazi.
Makinbrosmadonimgurandnotgivingafuck
I fucking love Trek Wars II: Back to the Pandora.

Is this true? I can't find a reputable source.
Ayxu22
no one ever lies on the internet
Asrodrig
Oh yea sometimes I forget that Liam Neeson was in anything other than shitty action movies
handsMoleman
How nervous would you as the lecturer in that class! It would be like teaching bible studies to God or summink
TooManyDamKids
There's gotta be a good gif for this
WilliamKeith
Prolly talked with him first. If I had a mathematician that stature in class, I'd use him/her as resources to the extent they were comf'ble.
Smysha
I highly doubt he went to class.
greymouser7
Sauce?
NotTheUserYoureLookingFor
Should have submitted Jurassic Park.
delpharseven
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. NO WAIT, SHIT!
CoinsareBinaryDice
Totally fair to the rest of the class who didn't have mutli-million dollar budgets and a crew of thousands.
WWWWaltJJJJunior
It's not like they were being graded against him.
farwall
What does "He placed out of FEA 309, the advanced filmmaking class." mean as a sentence?
KingMemberBerry
And he went in debt while in college because tuition is crazy ridiculous.
Mewmus
He CLEP'd the class and got by with an A-
ZaDoo22
Is he still paying his student loans?
goflyblind
"self plagiarism. F." - prof, probably.
NatalieKeech
I didn't finish reading thi... Squirrel!
iamthemelonlord
Was told this during my orientation at CSULB. But hey, shout out to Spielberg for donating a shit ton of money for his honorary degree..
ZaeMillion
Plot twist: Still got docked points for plagiarism.
ZaeMillion
(2/2 some film teachers consider it plagiarism to use your own past work you did not create in their class. At least mine did. Hmm.)
TheBroganBryant
Is the SpielBURN referencing the holocaust? Because if so that's real dark.
TigerstripesRVN
He's smart. And feelthy rich. Money follows brains. Derp.
ArdvarkRoticeryChicken
Yea, had a 100million dollar budget, suck it other students!
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
What does " he place out of FEA 309 " mean ?
Rtaxx
FEA is the name of the class = film and electronic arts. The 309 indicates it is a third year course, one of at least 9 offered then
DignamWhenAskedaQuestion
Thank you.
Rtaxx
placed out means you take the "final exam" of the class and if you score high enough you have demonstrated you dont need to "take" the class
Rtaxx
this class was probably graded on a "final project" His submission showed he "knew" enough to be given credit without attending the class
whatevsies
But why bother?

Self satisfaction. I had a high school teacher who got her doctorate. She'll never leave her high school though, she loves it too much.

I only have an Associate degree in programming. Make a crapton of money, don't need to go back. But I would like to go back for something.
ItTickles
sex, drugs,....
mikeatike
Probably astronomy. I spend most of my crapton of money on it anyhow.
tofudisan
My AA + 20 years in programming won't even get me passed automated resume checks. I'm now back in school to get a bachelors & working FT
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
"won't even get me PASSED resume checks"? consider an english class.
owlest
how come?
mikeatike
Odd, around here I have to beat back head hunters with a stick. 15+ years of Java in a banking town will do that. Hate working banks though.
tofudisan
I get head hunters but all for jobs 4+ hours or more from where I chose to live and locations I specifically choose NOT to live.
Bryanalt77
He should have submitted his worst movie.
EpiquePhael
The color purple?
SugarSmack
Still would have been the best submission they'd ever received.
colinsoup
As a recently graduated film student, I can confirm that anything Steven Spielberg spits out would be a million times better than any (1/2)
colinsoup
Cringe worthy short film I or any of my fellow students spit out. I HATED watching almost every one...

Crystal Skull. Felt my childhood die watching that.
SlippitySlappityLovinLifeAndWife
that's right. it was the worst.
hwdja
But does that make it the worst movie on its own? sure it had the worst effect but was it the worst movie?
SlippitySlappityLovinLifeAndWife
You mean Indiana Jones Crystal Skull?
ZeRootOfAllEvil
He did. /flameon
butcheredatbirth
ET?
CalWorthy
Crystal Skull. He can suck it after making that steaming pile.
SlippitySlappityLovinLifeAndWife
agreed.
NoManicMonday
IDK. I think everyone's allowed a few stinkers in their career. Granted, that stinker was foul and putrid beyond human reckoning.
CalWorthy
True
gewalt
neener, I still havent seen it
kevbot1837
I hope you still haven't.
gewalt
confirmed, still haven't.
HeistheZissou
1941.
Loveshanks
Yes.
creedtac
That movie is a classic!
HeistheZissou
It was good but it was a result of the studio giving him a carte blanc after Jaws. It was just so expensive looking.
RobertCarlson
After Close Encounters too
ordohereticusinquisitor
This. Got an all star comedy class and made an at best mediocre comedy.
AverageSexGod
I don't think it's a good movie, but it's one of the greatest testaments to his abilities as a director.
hockeyham
Howard the Duck?
simonripley
All I like to remember from that movie is sweet, sweet Lea Thompson...
Sauroctonus
What are you talking about? That's a fucking masterpiece.
MartRJ
He didn't direct Howard the Duck.
HogInTheBox
That's on right now. I tried watching it but I'm not stoned so it didn't work.
camelman912
Leave HtD alone!! It's a classic!!
MitchBeaucannon
I liked HtD.
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
Good because they are rebooting his comic book
Smedeby
Spielberg didn't direct Howard the Duck. Wasn't that some unknown dude?

Lucas Black? I didn't know he directed Howard the Duck
hockeyham
I got him confused with George Steinbrenner. Sorry.
FinalBackwardsGlance
That's ok, their names are really similar.
ChefHannibal
AI?
SweetZombiJesus
I loved that film.
treadwords
You're just begging for trouble aren't you?
IWouldLickThat
Yes. I'd rather re-watch Crystal Skull than see AI again. Oh, and DO NOT WATCH AI WHILE ON ECSTASY.
dickiedoodah
Yeah.
TendieLover
I hated AI
WisdomPlaytime
I passionately hated it too. It had so much potential and strong points, then it was just creepy & disappointing.
FunkyH
I loved/hated it. The first 2/3 is great, the last bit with the aliens is ridiculous and crappy, Jay fulfilling his happy ending obsession
SweetZombiJesus
The ending was actually really sad. Just 24 hours with his "mom" and then what? A lifetime without any friends or family except Ted.
FunkyH
Well in the end he chooses to go to "sleep" forever
ResultsMayVary0
They aren't aliens. They're advanced AI.
FunkyH
I did wonder about that. But then why do they find an early android of such interest? They should have collective memory of their origins
ItTickles
but did he get a passing grade?
Zardif
"plagiarized" you are now expelled.
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
"It's a bit long and what's with the pretentious black/white indie treatment?...........C+" - Bitter Professor, probably
RabbitOfCaerbannog
Well to be fair, there was a little bit of red in it.
Cynistera
That red is like a shot.
Phenomeno
This post was actually incorrect I'm pretty sure. He had gotten rejected from USC. He submitted Schindkers List as his entrance film and 1/2
Phenomeno
he got the guy who rejected him to sign his acceptance letter
quaggledoo
I'm sure he received an A....I
IMakeUpRandomFacts
Anything less than an "A" and he buys the college and fires the professor.
nahtan00
I was told he got a C, because the teacher got bored. Source: An old history teacher of mine.
LetMeGoogleThatShtForYou
Prob got a full letter grade deducted 'missing three or more classes'
TobiasFunkeAnalrapist
He got a little gold star.

Err.. have you not seen Rob Roy? http://imgur.com/QYjeIR2
omgshutup
I don't know if you're serious, but Liam Neeson *was* that role. I couldn't imagine anyone else.
Talligan
No. Not serious. He owned it.
omgshutup
Oh, thank god.
asdfertjryjre
Liam Neesons from Taken?
SloppyJimbo
he has never acted half as well as he did in schindler's list. 9000/10
Talligan
Out of all the dumb shit I say, this is what gets up voted? Liam Neeson was legit perfectly cast.
Themenatwork
You should see him in Ethan Frome very young Neeson
esassin
ethan from where?
Themenatwork
Frome is his last name
esassin
lol was just joking man.
LupusBorealis
Read that back in high school. I don't know If I could handle watching it.
DemonKiller44
I would get either bored beyond tears or would get super fucking pissed because most of the characters are fucking assholes
Themenatwork
Its erm disturbing as was the book but its ok
scarletswordfish
It's boring as fffffffff
PrimePowerOn
The comments on this comment show a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'placed out' means. He did not have to take the class. No grade.
ItTickles
so he didn't pass then....
PrimePowerOn
Technically, you get credit for the course, but no grade as such. It depends on your definition of passing I guess.
BlueElephant92
I dont get it. sorry I dont know a lot about us colleges. so why did he submit schindlers list if he had not to take the class?
PrimePowerOn
I'm sorry this was so long and clunky. Message me if you want. I took a few placement tests in US high school that got me out of courses.
hosieryadvocate
It's easier to read, if you let your first chunk be a reply to the user, and then your other chunks be a reply to your first chunk, IMO.
PrimePowerOn
When I do that sometimes mobile doesn't let me post anymore, but you're right.
PrimePowerOn
*director (sorry) 3/?
PrimePowerOn
.. basically be him taking the test. Since the movie is generally acclaimed as he is a great actor, the assumption is he would pass 2/?
PrimePowerOn
Sometimes in US college you can take a test in order to get credit for, but not take the class if you pass. This submission would 1/?
BlueElephant92
thanks for the detailed explanation. where I am from I never heard of this option at universities, our system is very different.
PrimePowerOn
Honestly, it wasn't well explained to me when I was a student. If I had known I would have done it much more.
RincewindTVD
only count as a "sad handjob" on the US scale of free grading, so he'll pass, but only just. 2/2
PrimePowerOn
So since he passed that test, he officially gains credit for the course, but does NOT get a grade. You basically get a P for passed 4/?
JohnBlevins
Is this something you can only do for certain classes? Are there other restrictions?
PrimePowerOn
It strongly depends on the University, but they're is a group of tests in things like calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, English.
PrimePowerOn
This just allows you to not waste your time in subjects you are already proficient in. 5/5
