yeah unfortunately i read the linked article so the rating game had a bit of the interest sucked out of it simply because the cat who wrote the initial piece is a fuckwit of pretty epic proportions. there are some innovative directors on this list and while i don't like everything any of them has done, the idea that these folk are more "over-rated" than hacks like james cameron seems surreal to me.
anyway blah blah blah dissing hitchcock just seems stupid to me....but not as stupid as seeing the graduate as tied to the time period during which it was made. this seems a duh point like few others.
scorcese and polanski both had long runs of making great innovative work and fell off at some point.
david lynch is ok. i liked eraserhead. i liked blue velvet. i kinda liked mulholland drive.
aronofsky? i really liked pi. it reminded me a bit of liquid sky, which no-one remembers. i liked that it reminded me a little of liquid sky.
i dont have anything in particular to say about tarantino.
ridley scott. blade runner. he didnt have to do anything else.
woody allen.
why am i doing this again?
