That those two lists are different for you is what's wrong with America.

Yea and ya know, the funny thing is, I'm honestly not sure whether I should consider him a guilty pleasure or not :P But I admit I'm a total sucker for his style, I think he's the best director of dramatic action over the last 20 or so years.

Fine! don't put Spielberg. All the guy really needed to make was "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan", but fine! "Close Ecounters" was great and so was "jaws". All because he introduced the blockbuster he is TERRIBLE. OH NO! Fuck that! He is great. He is going to make the Lincoln picture with Liam Neeson and he will arrive at his great days again. Kubrick is great, but don't give Spielberg shit because he is popular. And I don't even like "E.T."


And I'm drunk. Frank would know what I'm talking about. Shit...here is to frank...im drunk
