Bring it on mate!!

 

[Bluesmanager]

****.


I'm screwed.

 

[MK Shrimper]

****.


I'm screwed.

Welcome to my world!

 

[Bluesmanager]

The only advantage I have is that my director's not dead. And am I right in saying that the poll will end sometime around 7ish? 'Cause that's when I get in from college usually (damned last bus back).

Could be worse, could be Wednesday. Then I'd be really screwed.

First two directors in the quarter final are Stanley Kubrick and Frank Darabont, both of whom made mincemeat of their opposition.

I thought I had some good arguments there...

Vengenance is mine! Your Buffy knocked out my Six Feet Under in the TV Drama's battle, not that I held a grudge or anything! :whistling:

Jackson is a decent Director but taking lots of money doesn't neccessarily mean you made better films. Good fight though.

I fear the QF's will be my downfall though.

There's no easy battles in this fight in my eyes.

I had a Governement sanctioned department that was made solely to try and get as much money as possible for the NZ economy. If the sodding governemnt can't beat someone no-one can!

I can't help it if people liked my totty-laden, vampire-arse-kicking show better than yours, which as near as I can tell is about dead people. :p (seems to be a theme in your battle choices actually... :p)

It's ok, you've not had to expose yourself to any art yet Mr Heathen.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Second set of results:

Martin Scorsese zooms into the quarter finals (Shrimperzone you fools!), followed by Tim Burton who sneaks through by the odd point.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Unlucky mate! :p

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yesterday's battle results:

No surprises as both Ridley Scott and Quentin Tarantino enter last 8.
