Battle of the MODERN film directors

[BLUEBLOOD]

Quick note that our favourite rigger of polls Blueblood Mugabe is going to be the deciding judge should any ties end up all square so you know where to send your freshly printed £5'ers. :D

Yep, bribery anmd corruption are second nature to me ...

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Seriously though, i have absolutely no idea or even interest in film direction so the old adage of putting your evidence up to sway my vote your way has never been truer

 

[MK Shrimper]

First round results:

John Woo (Ricey) 23 beats M. K. Shalayaman (Jassyfa) 9
Martin Scorsese (Brettie Angel) 36 destroys Michael Moore (Irish) 2
Frank Darabont (Cricko) 21 beats Gullermo Del Toro (Alexis) 13
Kevin Smith (Bob Cratchitt) 14 beats Darren Arankofsy (Pubey) 3

Odd mix of voting there with 38 voting in the Martin Scorsese v Michael Moore battle with just 17 in the Kevin Smith v Aranofsky battle.

Anyway, next set of first round draws coming up and congrats to those who've made it into the last 16.

 

[Napster]

Fans of Scorcese might be keen to know he supports Polanski.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Oh well, Del Toro is out, at least he got decent support though.

Round 3 results:

Oliver Stone 13 (Marvel315) squeaks past an unfortunate Danny Boyle 11 (MTS)
Unsurprisingly Steven Spielberg 18 (FatShrimp) trounces David Fincher 4 (Rusty Shackleford) but it was a tough draw.
The Coen Brothers 19 (me) batters ;) David Lynch 5 (DWB)
John Hughes 15 (Bobby G) pips Ron Howard 11 (Kent Shrimper) despite being brown bread.

Final set of first round draws up soon!

Final round of results from the first round.

Peter Jackson 8 (Bluesmanager) squeaks past John Boorman 7 (Gt Yarmouth)

2nd round to start Monday morning.

 

[Ricey]

Blimey first time entering one of these and I thought I would be out on the first round :) Lets hope I get an easy draw for round 2.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Not many easy draws in this matey, certainly not now Rob Cohen's out :D

I came down with some kind of superbug (of the "makes-you-lose-the-best-part-of-a-stone-in-weight-in-a-day" variety). Sorry chaps. Spent all day cooped up in bed watching DVDs (ironically mostly the LotR Extended cuts. Knew I'd forgotten something).

No matter matey, you sneaked it.
