In less than one month on March 27th, this blog will be celebrating two years of existence. As a means to celebrate we are going to have another one of our legendary polls! This time around we're aiming to generate a pantheon of directors who the readers of and contributors to this here blog think are the absolute bee's knees.
So how do you participate?
Well that's simple. All you have to do is come up with your own personal list of 10 favorite directors and get it to us by 10pm PST on Sunday, March 24th. You can submit your list as a comment on this post, as a comment on the Facebook posting that lead you hear, as a private message on Facebook, or even as an e-mail!
We know the 2nd anniversary is supposed to be the cotton anniversary, but we'd rather say it with directors. Can't wait to see what wonderful lists you all come up with!
If I think about this one too long, I'll never finish my list, so from the gut:
ReplyDeleteStanley Kubrick / Pedro Almodovar / David Lynch / Ken Russell / Steven Spielberg / Peter Greenaway / Lars von Trier / Quentin Tarantino / Mike Leigh / Edgar Wright
...with love for Richard Elfman, of course. :)
