51 years after Jaws released, Steven Spielberg has another summer hit on his hands. I was fortunate to experience the Jaws exhibit at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures before seeing Disclosure Day. It was phenomenal. Spielberg’s longevity astounds me on so many levels.

Steven Spielberg reveals that after Jaws became a massive hit, something strange happened: everyone around him suddenly stopped giving him honest feedback. Steven Spielberg: "Jaws came out and Jaws was a phenomenon, and people stopped talking to me. All of a sudden all that input stopped. I started to make Close Encounters and everybody was quiet, as if I knew what to do. I didn't have all the answers. I was desperate for collaboration, for opinions." Steven Spielberg: "One hit movie and there was an intimidation factor which I had never experienced anything like before."

Steven Spielberg reveals he turned down the entire Jaws franchise after the first film “I was not in control of Jaws, they offered me the whole franchise and I said I’m done after that first one, I’m done” “I kept saying fellas, we blew the shark up” “People hardly bought into the fact that the shark was as big as it was in Jaws, but they did buy into it, and it was not mythology it was science, it was a sea hunt movie, a big grand adventure of survival” “Where you gonna get another 26 foot long shark? And they said to me well, we’re gonna build one, and I said you got a credibility gap problem, so I didn’t get involved in that”

🚨 Paramount Pictures initially rejected Steven Spielberg when he wanted to direct Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). At that point, Spielberg’s films like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and 1941 — had all gone over budget, and, when 1941 bombed at the box-office, the studio told George Lucas to find another director. They eventually relented when Lucas refused to make the picture without Spielberg. Knowing his reputation, Spielberg meticulously planned every major set piece using scale miniatures and models before filming. The preparation saved hours of production time each day. Raiders came in under budget and, after it was a smash hit, no studio ever had doubts about Spielberg again. Afterwards, Lucas told the studio: “If you hire the greatest director in the world, making movies is easy.”

Steven Spielberg is returning to UFOs in a few weeks with his release of Disclosure Day. It’s a good time to revisit one of his best films, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. As I’ve said before, I think this film is Spielberg’s best use of sound- sound is so key to this story.

Mad Dog Russo wanted to do something to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws. He couldn't get Richard Dreyfuss or Steven Spielberg to come on his show, so instead he interviewed one of the kids who pulled the fake shark prank. Nothing but A-list guests on Mad Dog Radio!

'"Jaws' (1975) was a fun movie to watch but not a fun movie to make. It was made under the worst of conditions. People versus the eternal sea. The sea won the battle—but where we won was with audiences in every country." --- Steven Spielberg Full Excerpt: "Being on 'Jaws' became a living nightmare, and not because I didn’t know what I was doing or because I was struggling to find the movie in my head. I knew the film I wanted to make. I just couldn’t get the movie I had in mind on film as quickly as I wanted. When we got out to the ocean, a lot of the crew got seasick, and once that passed, a kind of lethargy set in because we weren’t seemingly getting anything done. The end never seemed to be in sight, and yet I was the only person who could reassure the crew that there would be an end to this some day. I remember on the 60th day of shooting, crew members came to me asking, “When are we going to be done with this movie?” And I would honestly say, “I don’t know. We could finish it if I get fired, if I’m dragged off the movie and replaced by someone who could complete it quickly. Or maybe they’ll shut us down. ” Whenever I talked about the possibility of me being fired or the show being shut down, most of the crew was happy about it—this wasn’t a labor of love for anybody. This was a physically impossible chore and people wanted to go home. (...) I never left the island because I knew that, if I did, I would never come back. Yet I never wanted to quit. Ever. I had terrible, despairing days where I could see nobody hiring me again, and I could imagine Jaws being my last studio movie. I thought I would probably go on to make independent films if I could get doctors and dentists to put up enough money to finance a little movie with four people playing cards in a room. Basically, I didn’t have much hope for any longevity for my career, but I wanted to finish Jaws because I had never stopped believing in the movie. 'Jaws' (1975) was a fun movie to watch but not a fun movie to make. It was made under the worst of conditions. People versus the eternal sea. The sea won the battle—but where we won was with audiences in every country." ("‘Jaws Became a Living Nightmare’: Steven Spielberg's Ultimate Tell-All Interview", Anthony Breznican, Vanity Fair, 2023) P.S: On this day, 51 years ago, "Jaws" (1975) was released in the USA.

Emily Blunt on meeting and working with Steven Spielberg on Disclosure Day “I get a call from my agent saying, ‘Stephen Spielberg wants to meet you for his next movie.’ And I literally screamed. Smothered in goosebumps. I met him in his office in Tribeca and he pitched me a little bit of it and you know, you have those moments where it's him and you're like, ‘That's Steven effing. It's real, right?’ Yeah, you know, and he's talking to me and I'm really trying to keep it cool. I wanted to ask him endless questions about Jaws, which I love, and tea and everything. And I just sort of sitting on my hands trying not to ask him annoying things but he pitched me a bit of the film, and then he just said, ‘But I want you to read it.’ So he gave me a hard copy. I beatled home as fast as I could, and I read it and called him and cried again. It was so breathtaking.”

Emily Blunt’s first day of working with Steven Spielberg on “Disclosure Day” was recording the alien language clicking noises that her news reporter character speaks on live TV “When we were leading up to shooting the scene, Steven was like ‘We could do it one of two ways. We could go and do it with AI or you could do it yourself.’ And I was like, I feel very confident that I can make some very strange sounds. So I went to a sound booth with him and his incredible sound designer who's won more Oscars than anyone in the world. That was my first day working with Steven Spielberg.”

Disclosure Day is a fumbling, awkward, but warm hug from your grandfather. After 50 years of storytelling experience, Steven Spielberg and John Williams delivered a digestible and beautiful plea for the world to recenter itself on empathy. I love this movie a lot.

I visited the biggest CRT video wall in the USA. Nam June Paik's Electronic Superhighway. The art exhibit was originally designed in 1995 with 336 CRTs, 50 DVD players, & miles of cables. In the early 2000s, Paik donated the exhibit to the Smithsonian Museum on the condition that the museum would come to his studio in New York, disassemble everything & safely store it to setup in Washington DC. You can see this exhibit for free today at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on the 3rd floor. It's an inspiring setup to see in person, but the CRTs are disappearing from the wall, one at a time. I highly recommend you go see it if you are in the capitol. Happy Birthday America.
