[edit] Suggestions

"Subsequently, Bruckheimer moved to Los Angeles where he's remained ever since." contradicts "Bruckheimer has been married twice, and currently lives in Bloomfield, Kentucky." Something requires clarification, but I'm not knowlegable nor do I have any reliable Tjc 17:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Drop "where he's remained ever since" and the statement is no longer contradictory to what is said later.

[edit] List of Films

I know he's done a lot more films than what's listed. Why are there so few?

"Most of Bruckheimer's films feature elaborate special effects, a thumping pop music soundtrack, simplistic plots, and highly telegenic if sometimes improbable cast members. As a result, his films are often a financial success while being critically panned."

Sounds like a personal vendetta. Citation?

I totally agree. I'm going to take it out if no one finds a refrence for it. If anyone else agrees take it out now or whenever. --Phil 07:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Vendetta? The problem with that passage is that you can find a thousand citations from serious critics applying every single word in that passage to a Bruckheimer pic., but since movie review focus on the movie as the subject of discussion, and the producer as an incidental, no one actually lumps it together that way. I'm interested in this effect where you have a body of experts in a subject area, no one has written directly to a point, but the sum total of the literature exudes a certain attitude or sentiment that never stated in its own terms as such.

Sometimes I'd like to put some fine print in a Wikipedia article, "at this juncture in the article we'd like to provide a short synopsis of Bruckheimer's style, we all know what the critical circles believe as a whole, but none of the critics has condensed that shared sentiment into a citable form, so this paragraph has been redacted by management."
