I know I am not voting for Tarantino... but choosing betwen the other three...

P.S. feverish, edit the fourth option of the poll, or Ang Lee won't get shit

[Brice]

quentin

[Heather19]

Oops, sorry about the poll. Feev will fix it for me, I don't have the option

[fernandito]

Thanks Brice !

Scorsese and Tarantino, two of my all time favorite directors ...

[Heather19]

Tarantino. He's probably my favorite director ever.
But I'm really hoping Scorsese makes it on as well. He'd easily get my vote if he wasn't up against QT.

Same here.

[pathoftheturtle]

I hate you.

[Jean]

path, did you vote? I am torn

[fernandito]

I went with my heart and voted for Scorsese. Goodfellas , Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Departed, Shutter Island - I had too.

[pathoftheturtle]

Vote? Are you kidding?! *sigh* Leaning toward Scorsese... I think...

[Jean]

so am I... I think

but Allen hasn't gotten a single vote yet, and it is just wrong

[pathoftheturtle]

Thanks, that helps. [/sarcasm]

[Jean]

yes, bears are notorious this way...

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Scorsese or Tarantino??? Feve is the devil.

Goodfellas is one of my absolute favorite films EVER. But Tarantino has never let me down.

Dammitdammitdammitdammitdammitdammit

Taran....no Scors...no Tarantino.

or maybe Scorsese........

ok QT.

Just had to put them together huh!

[Brice]

Thanks Brice !

[DoctorDodge]

but Allen hasn't gotten a single vote yet, and it is just wrong

Consider that wrong righted, Jean!

[Heather19]

Thanks Brice !

Jean, can ask what it is you hate about Tarantino? Although I feel like I may have asked you this before

[Brice]

[Sam]

Tarantino. Not my favorite director, but he's pretty close.

[Still Servant]

Wow, there's a lot of clout in this poll. I gotta go with QT though.

[turtlex]

Grrrrrrr... this is not fair!

Under normal circumstances, I would have eliminated Woody Allen, but I just watched Annie Hall and it's wonderful. I forget sometimes, how truly great a director he is. I love Tarantino and Scorsese is just amazing. And Ang Lee directed one of my all time favorite movies ( Brokeback ).

[Sam]

Ang Lee directed one of my favorite films in Crouching Tiger, but sincerely proved himself to be unable to direct a coherent comic film with Hulk. I really can't forgive that debacle.

[turtlex]

I used the Hulk to disqualify him from my consideration as well, Sam.

[Jean]

so am I... I think

but Allen hasn't gotten a single vote yet, and it is just wrong

Consider that wrong righted, Jean!

in the end bears went with Allen, too

Jean, can ask what it is you hate about Tarantino? Although I feel like I may have asked you this before

I don't hate him, I just can't find anything in him. I don't like trash, especially trash that poses as something deep, important and culturally significant. I can enjoy sarcasm and deconstruction of genres (and values) - only for that long, and then I want something more of a movie, and that "more" is something he is just unable to give me. You can eat a cardboard cake for a while, and then you want something more nourishing. On the other hand, if I only want some entertainment, I'd rather watch a bona fide genre film, and if I want to enjoy some irony and black wit, I have the whole European (Russian including) tradition to choose from, you know, genuine stuff.
