    Look, the trouble with The Shining was that Kubrick was so determined to blow off the afterlife. King was like, "Is there an afterlife, for real? I just don't know." But Kubrick, he knew everything. I mean, this is a guy whose biggest hero was Napoleon. Burton's problem, on the other hand, is that he's just gotten too comfortable. He's not really as fiery at heart as Kubrick was... but he certainly did create some great stuff in his younger days.
    Perfectly stated, all of it. Bears agree with the whole passage.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

    The Final Tie Breaker

    This is how it's going to go down :

    The first director to have 5 of his films named by the users will be the one to advance. Only one film may be named per user, naturally.

    The naming will commence in exactly one hour as of the time of this post. If you name a film before the one hour mark, I will not count your vote.


    The clock begins it's march ...

    Because Planet of the Apes, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, etc had such well constructed scripts.
    I thought Sweeney Todd had a fantastic script, actually. Overall, though, you're right: those movies all had script issues. Good thing they aren't his definitive movies. When someone talks about Tim Burton, they think of: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and a few others (mostly his early films). Now, please, show me the films that Kubrick wrote original scripts for.

    Burton didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    And you want me to provide original scripts with the assumption that I agree with your sentiment that better script writer = better director, which I don't. Since film is a visual medium, I give credit to those directors that are able to convey radical emotion through the use of powerful imagery. In that regard, Kubrick is leagues ahead of Burton.

    Well, even so, you ought to give Burton some credit.

    Also, there's no one single definitive directing skill, actually. If there were, I'd say that LEADERSHIP is it. Any jerk with O.C.D. can create radical imagery. I still respect Burton for moving my soul more than Kubrick. Good thing that, after all, this tourney is just a little game.

    Oh, definitely. Some of his earlier work is ripe with startling imagery that stays with you long after the credits roll, Edward Scissorhands being a prime example. I love that film.

    Also, there's no one single definitive directing skill, actually...
    Obviously. In this case however, I value Kubrick's tour de force imagery and reoccurring theme of dehumanization much more than I value anything by Burton.

    I still respect Burton for moving my soul more than Kubrick.
    Burton's films move my sole too ... the soles of my feet as I exit the his latest CGI-fest in disgust

    Good thing that, after all, this tourney is just a little game.
    Not for me it isn't. This is serious business. If my director doesn't win , I'm exiting this world Kurt Cobain style.
