[Jean]

Lynch

[candy]

Kubrick

Sorry Bear:couple:

[Jean]

oh... oops... Lynch is losing by a wide margin

[Heather19]

Lynch

[Sam]

Lynch.

But I would vote for Ed Wood before I would Kubrick. I know he has contributed to the film making world, but his films are torturous to me.

[fernandito]

b-b-bump

[Jean]

I wonder why out of the 7 people who voted for Kubrick only one owned up?..

[fernandito]

I voted for Kubrick too. Lynch's work is disturbingly unique, but Kubrick has crafted indelible masterpieces of cinema. 2001, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove - such a powerful and varied body of work.

[Jean]

I liked Dr.Strangelove, especially Peter Sellers, especially as Captain Mandrake

[mae]

Kubrick is god. End the poll.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Kubrick, I expect him to make it to the top 3 at least.

[RUBE]

Kubrick

[Jean]

I respect Kubrick, although I don't really like him; but it just seems unfair that Lynch is left behind in the first round...

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Well in all honestly, my vote might not should count since I have not seen any Lynch movies.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Upon further investigation, I have seen Twin Peaks, and would have voted for anything else based upon my opinion of that.

[Jean]

yes, if the only one I'd seen was Twin Peaks I would have voted for Kubrick twice.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Good to know, you had me a little befuddled, Jean.

[Jean]

oh, this is what bears do

seriously, watch The Elephant Man as soon as you can

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I will, as soon as I see a copy.

[Heather19]

oh, this is what bears do

seriously, watch The Elephant Man as soon as you can

Agreed! :couple:

[Jean]

I have just finished watching The Elephant Man once again... Oh grrrrrr I so don't want Lynch to be left behind!!!!!!!!!!

[Heather19]

I have just finished watching The Elephant Man once again... Oh grrrrrr I so don't want Lynch to be left behind!!!!!!!!!!

Nor do I. It's such a beautiful film isn't it.
I think he definitely deserves to make it past the first round. It's a shame.

[Jean]

I somehow don't think we can get 9 more votes by Thursday... I wish we could

[Woofer]

I've been in and out, love, (insert A Clockwork Orange joke here), but I am one of the Kubrick votes. Very difficult choice. I almost didn't vote at all since I didn't get a chance to vote in N proper. However, since I would've voted for SK originally, I decided that it would be appropriate to vote on the tie.

[Woofer]

yes, if the only one I'd seen was Twin Peaks I would have voted for Kubrick twice.

That's one of the few I haven't seen!

[pathoftheturtle]

I respect Kubrick, although I don't really like him...Same here. No matter how important you think he was, it's not as great as what he thought of himself.
2001 leaves me cold. (Except for HAL) I could criticize quite a bit about Kubrick's films... Still, he had undeniable talent, and made some that I definitely like: Dr. Strangelove (Sellers was always great; also George C. Scott character) Full Metal Jacket, (especially the first half) Barry Lyndon. I feel that Lynch is making a decent showing here, given tastes shown by our other polls (and previous TGT contests.) He's great, but it's not that surprising. As for me, however... well, I first saw The Elephant Man when I was, like, 11... and I happen to be a fanatic even for "Twin Peaks" -- although I agree that it's certainly not the best thing he ever made. If Lynch somehow passed Kubrick by Thursday, I'd be all for that.

[Brice]

I LOVE Kubrick. I mean most wh know me knows ACO is one of my favorite movies of all time. My vote goes to Lynch though. I love everything he does.

[Jean]

well... as one of the characters in a Russian children's movie said when they were trying to scoop the water out of a swamp with buckets, only 850 bucketfuls to go and the golden key is ours...

Nine more Lynch voters? Pretty please?

[fernandito]

Kubrick advances !

[Jean]

grrrrrrrrr..................

[Brice]

Lynch BELONGS in the top five for sure.

[Woofer]

Lynch BELONGS in the top five for sure.

Bruce McCulloch - Vacation (Eraserhead)

[Brice]

:lol: :thumbsup:

[Woofer]

:lol: :thumbsup:

I thought you'd love that one. It's one of my favorites.

[Seymour_Glass]

I'm actually kinda relieved i missed this vote. That is the unfairest of all imaginable pairings. Both men are mad geniuses.

[Jean]

I anticipate some more inconceivably unfair pairings in the future

I also wish you hadn't missed, and voted for Lynch...

[Seymour_Glass]

I probably would have, as I just watched inland Empire last night...

[Jean]

The main problem with this contest, as has already been said, is that people haven't watched enough movies. I mean, if we do this on a regular basis, and everybody who loves cinema works on enlightening people about their favorite directors in between, the picture might change from year to year... or not.

[fernandito]

I probably would have, as I just watched inland Empire last night...

All time favorite Lynch movie. That film had it's way with my mind.

[Seymour_Glass]

I probably would have, as I just watched inland Empire last night...

All time favorite Lynch movie. That film had it's way with my mind.

That movie scared me more than any movie ever has.
