Steven Spielberg Fans Shocked to Discover He Directed *That* Meme-Worthy Scene From 'Reign of Fire'
In a twist that has internet historians and cinephiles alike questioning reality, a deep-dive into Hollywood lore has revealed that cinematic icon Steven Spielberg—beloved for 'Jaws', 'E.T.', and 'Schindler's List'—actually directed the gloriously ridiculous 2002 dragon apocalypse film 'Reign of Fire'. The irony is thicker than dragon fire: a man known for profound human drama and fluid, invisible storytelling is now being meme-venerated for a scene where Matthew McConaughey jumps out of a helicopter with a flaming battle-axe, screaming like a Viking. Internet users are now retroactively blaming Spielberg for every chaotic, over-the-top action sequence from the early 2000s. The man who made us cry over an alien just gave us the unintentional comedy gold of an A-list star fighting CGI lizards. We are not worthy.
