Okay, easy game-
I will give a famous name and you must tell who it is. Must be at least a 5 word description. Can't be general, must be a specific, legit answer. Then you give another new famous name for the next poster to tell who it is. Have fun with it!

First one: FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

Mr.Deflok

FFC was born in 1939 in Detroit of all places, he is of Italian heritage as his name implies. This director brought to the screens cult classic epics such as Godfather and Apocalypse now and is considered in very high regard as a director of film.
Brilliant Director behind Apocalype Now. In recent times he has been criticised for lacking the vision he once had, this is highly subjective. Oh and one last thing, he alongside George Lucas produced Kagemusha for Akira Kurosawa.

Which leads me to...

AKIRA KUROSAWA

KWSN

Late, great Japanese director. His most famous film, the Seven Samurai (or Senchin no Samurai) is considered one of the greatest of all time. Other great films of his include Ikiru.

Back to Hector Hugh Munro

jobu

Scottish-born writer whose stories satirize the Edwardian social scene, often in a macabre and cruel fashion. Munro's columns and short stories were published under the pen name 'Saki'. Saki's stories were full of witty epithets - such as "The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went." - and included coded references to homosexuality. After the outbreak of World War I, although officially over age, Munro volunteered in the army as an ordinary soldier. A snipers bullet killed him on November 14, 1916 in France, near Beaumont-Hamel. Munro was sheltering in a shell crater and his last words, according to several sources, were: "Put that damned cigarette out!" After his death his sister Ethel destroyed most of his papers and wrote her own account of their childhood.


I.M. Pei

tritium

Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Canton, China in 1917. He left China when he was eighteen to study architecture at MIT and Harvard. Between 1942 and 1945, he worked as a concrete designer for Stone and Webster, and in 1946 he began work in the office of Hugh Asher Stubbins, in Boston.

Pei worked as an instructor and then as an assistant professor at Harvard before he joined Webb & Knapp Inc. in New York in 1948. Pei worked as the head of the architectural division of Webb and Knapp, Inc. until 1960, when he resigned and founded his own architectural office, I. M. Pei & Partners, New York, which in 1979 became Pei, Cobb, Free & Partners.

Due to his reliance on abstract form and materials such as stone, concrete, glass, and steel, Pei has been considered a disciple of Walter Gropius. However, Pei shows little concern with theory. He does not believe that architecture must find forms to express the times or that it should remain isolated from commercial forces.

Pei generally designs sophisticated glass clad buildings loosely related to the high-tech movement. However, many of his designs result from original design concepts. He frequently works on a large scale and is renowned for his sharp, geometric designs.
