i'm actually pretty okay with that list. but no robert rodriguez is a little upsetting.

get tarentino off that list. and big props to fincher.

no. tarantino stays. pulp fiction! reservoir dogs! not to mention, inglorious bastards looks AWESOME.

wait wait wait: jon favreau? stephen speilberg hasnt made a good movie since e.t. and james camerion hasn't made a movie in more than a decade, how is he active

it's a remake.

bryan singer shouldn't be on the list cause he sucks at making superman movies

favreau did iron man, which is just awesome. and elf wasn't bad. with iron man 2 and avengers coming up i'm sure he deserves a spot. if not yet, he will. and cameron is on there because he is making that movie avatar or whatever. who cares. also, spielberg is doing tin tin, which may or may not be cool, but hook was fantastic, and after e.t.

should joel and then really count as the same?

yeah I think they should. they do everything together, and did you see burn after reading? it was fucking amazing

downloading from flixflux as we speak.

enlighten me.
why is Pedro Almodóvar on this list?

matador was alright but that was like 23 years ago. EW is shite

yeah. i mean, some of these choices are legitimate but some of them are complete bullshit.

WOA WAIT WHERE IS MICHEL GONDRY OR ZACH BRAFF

braff has done TWO movies. and he isn't working on anything.
