    I'm going to have to sit on this one for a bit ... I absolutely love both of these directors' films.

    Park for certain. Boyle doesn't even belong in the same building, imo. He shouldn't be allowed in the audience when Park gets an award.

    Is it because you think Park is that good or because you think Boyle is that bad ?

    I personally don't think Boyle is all that bad, I liked Shallow Grave, The Beach, and some parts (actually, everything except the zombies, which are hilarious, although probably were not supposed to be) of 28 Days Later.

    Park.

    I am going to cry.

    Though, I know Wook-park doesn't have the chance to survive long, not that he is not the best but because of the existance of other factors.

    I am going to cry.

    because of the "other factors", only one of the [preciously few] directors I deem the best has a chance, however slim, to survive till the end, and it is Hitchcock

    well, at least I hope he has a chance...

    Because Park is that good. I have only seen 28 days by boyle. It was alright.

    Certainly Hitch will be in the running a bit. Something is VERY much amiss if he does not stick around. I mean I understand he may not win, but I'd put him above MOST of these other directors.

    I don't know, I have high hopes that Hitchcock will make it to the end.

    And Brice have you not seen Trainspotting? I thought for sure you had for some reason.

    Yes, it does and I watch far too few films and we already have thousands at my house that I've yet to see.

    Well then how can you say that Boyle doesn't belong anywhere near Park if you've only seen one film by him ? Bricey, Bricey, Bricey

    Seriously though, you should at least check out Trainspotting ... I have a feeling that film might make you change your mind about Boyle.
