ATTENTION, VOTE: Battle of the Greatest Directors

[captainofbeef]

I believe I am running this bracket and if you want to change your vote, you can as long as the battle is still going. So, no, my vote does not stay at Jackson. I am voting for Herzog.

[criterionmaster]

You sicken me.

[kiddo]

Oh, what a great choice, captainofbeef.

[satantangofan]

HERZOG. By several million Kilometers.

[PTAhole]

Haven't seen enough Herzog to vote for him over Jackson, so... Jackson.

[captainofbeef]

Great battle. A 4-3 win for Herzog. Next one will be up soon.

Spike Jonze

Where the Wild Things Are (2007) (pre-production)
Adaptation. (2002)
Being John Malkovich (1999)

[captainofbeef]

I really like Jonze's two movies. But Clint's has made TONS of good movies. So, Clint.

[PTAhole]

Haha. Jonze.

[criterionmaster]

Jonze.

[captainofbeef]

Ya, you guys are fags. I knew you would do this. You know you like Eastwood better. You just want to see me get mad.

[criterionmaster]

No. I hate everyone who made a film called Million Dollar Baby. Oh I think Eastwood made that one. He is an idiot.

[captainofbeef]

Okay, fine.

[PTAhole]

No, I genuinely think Jonze is a more talented director. Eastwood may have made more good films, but it's completely unfair to say that, because he's been directing since the 70's.

[agentknight]

Jonze.

Adaptation <3

[captainofbeef]

O GOD. I am just gonna kill myself. Goodbye!

[agentknight]

Damn, down one member. I'll go look for some more.

[captainofbeef]

LOL, I actually accept your vote and PTAhole's. But Criterion's is just based on the fact that he wants to see Eastwood lose.

[satantangofan]

I realise I'll be hated for this, but...Eastwood.
I admit he's made some crap over the years, but Outlaw Josey Wales, Play Misty for me, Unforgiven, High Plains Drifter & the Gauntlet are all class, and collectively score higher than Adaptation (which I love). I dont rate Being John Malkovich that highly.

[captainofbeef]

No, you wont be hated. I voted for him too. He is the better filmmaker.

[captainofbeef]

What about Mystic River? Did anybody see this? That movie is an instant classic.

[agentknight]

Yeah, I agree with you there, Mystic River was a very impressive film.

[criterionmaster]

I hated that film. I am not saying he hasn't made great films. But I like Jonze better.

[PTAhole]

Oh, c'mon Criterion, Mystic River is great! Anyway, satantangofan, I disagree with your choice, but not strongly enough to get mad about it.

[satantangofan]

Glad to hear it

[captainofbeef]

Ok, sorry about being a little late. I was too busy watching James Taylor. I guess you idiots picked Jonze 3-2. Whatever, next one will be up soon.

Bunuel

[kiddo]

Haven`t seen anything by Bunuel
Only seen Le Samourai by Melville.

So, can`t vote.
