I included M. Night Shyamalan because he seems to be like the new Spielberg or something.

M Night Shamalamadingdong fucking sucks. I saw Signs and was bored to tears!! It's a fucking horror mivie that isn't scary!!!??? What the fuck? I would have demanded my money back but it was rented and I didn't even pay for it. Still, I felt like someone owed me some goddamn money for enduring two hours of self-indulgent drivel!!!!!

And The Village was horrendous!!!! One of the lamest movies I have ever seen.

Unbreakable was ok. But only ok. Nothing spectacular.

I agree, those movies were horrible......and I am a diehard horror fan. Not really horror, but yeah.

I watched land/dawn of the dead last night.
Funny stuff... ripping arms, legs, heads off. Romero
is king!

It's in Western Maryland where many many horrible people with no open minds exist.

Looks very pretty. Mountains all around and it's very green.
Nice hiking areas and outdoor sport. I like that steam train trip.
The Cumberland Theatre would be a great venue for the youth, don't ya think? Ha! Imagine...

Aki Kaurismaki, Claire Denis, Claude Chabrol and no one else.

Why don't you have Akira Kurosawa on this list?! >:(

That's about the only cool part about it.

I like Michelle Gondry

Kurosawa is not a filmmaker of OUR generation. And I wouldn't even say Kubrick was a filmmaker of the current generation. We didn't grow up on those directors. They are fantastic but they aren't really from our generation, like the others on that list.

1.david Fincher
2.david Lynch
3.spike Jones
4.jim Jarmusch
5.stanley Kubrick

My 5 Favorite Directors!!

John Fucking Waters.

both utterly shit films. you can add marie antoinette to that list as well.

I thought Lost in Translation was good. Maybe a little geared toward Japanophiles.

I thought I'd not like Lost in Translation much, seeing as how I'm a Japanophobe, rather than phile. I ended up liking it quite a bit in the end though. Weird. It didn't make me any less dismissive of the whole concept surrounding Japan, however.
