I've seen some really crappy ones of those but that one was pretty good!

Elvis vs Michael Jackson and Tesla vs Edison are probably my favorite ERBoH's.

I just watched Psycho for the first time yesterday, so this is pretty relevant. And like, how is Spielberg considered a great director? All his movies are cliché, typical Hollywood scores, generic characters and plots that usually revolve around someone making some mistake that's so obviously wrong that it makes the movie break my suspension of disbelief (I'm looking at you moron scientists in Jurassic Park)

It sounds like you're just more of a fan of creative / unique / (artsy) / type film, which Spielberg isn't known for. But c'mon, just a small list of things he's directed that I would consider really great movies:

Jaws
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Hook
Jurassic Park
Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Minority Report
Catch Me If You Can
The Terminal

And that's leaving out Indiana Jones AND Close Encounters of the Third Kind, because I don't like those as much as most people do.

It is true I'm more of a fan of those other types of movies. And yes, Spielberg has directed some really good movies. But I never understood the hype over Jurassic Park, or Indiana Jones. I mean they're fine movies, entertaining, but they're not great.
Jaws was before my time, so I think I probably have a harder time really judging it. It's in the in between stage in terms of how old it is, where when I watch Touch of Evil or The Maltese Falcon, I change my mindset to accommodate that they are quite old, but Jaws somehow doesn't make my brain change mindsets like that.

Jeez Kingzog, not every movie can be as good as Evil Dead II.

[Witherweaver]

The first Indiana Jones was great.  Hook I remember liking as a kid.  Jurassic Park is a bit of a classic.  Yes, the plot has problems, but the storytelling was good, and that's really what matters in movies.  Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can are also good.

I haven't seen Jaws since I was really young, but I believe it's pretty well respected.

That being said, I agree he's not making, like, great, new, and innovative things.

Clever Girl
Cost: $5
Reaction

When the player to your left plays an Attack card, you may reveal this card from you hand and then discard it.  If you do, the player to your left trashes their hand and gains three Curses, and the Attack does not affect you.
(EDIT: You KNOW it's a RBCI because it's an attack reflection card!)


First Give Me The Whip
Cost: $3
Action

+1 action
Each player names a card that they wish they had in their hand.  Each other player may choose to reveal a copy of the card that you want from their hand.  If anyone does, you may choose one such player and reveal a copy of the card they want from your hand.  If you do, both players place that card on the table face up with their hand still on top of it, and an argument ensues about who should give up their card first.  Either player may cancel the trade by picking up their card, or they may give up their card.  If the trade goes forward, the player who did not give up their card first gains +1 VP.  If the trade goes forward but the other player betrays the player who gave up their card first by keeping both cards, then that player gains two Curses.

It's logic. If no movie can be as good as Evil Dead II, Evil Dead II can not be both as good as itself and a movie. As it is as good as itself by definition (however good that may be), GendoIkari's statement logically implies that Evil Dead II is not a movie.
