david fincher is an anomaly. gee i hope i spelled that right. one one hand, he's directed fight club, se7en, the video for "judith" ... on the other hand, he's directed paula abdul videos, madonna videos, george michael videos. they may or may not be great videos. i havent seen them. but the idea scares me. i think this topic needs to be discussed further. good call primetime.

well that sure was a knee-jerk reaction for someone who's oozing with self esteem. haha it amazes me when a person on a message board attacks another by suggesting they get a life. right, because we're not here for the same reasons. you know, aside from your time being spent here (which is a total waste in your opinion) you go about your day sniffing coke off of hookers and jumping off buildings and blowing up satellites. right. and you have a puretracks account because you're going to be a successful musician. unless you have something to contribute to this thread, like a director's name, or a reason why a director shouldn't be on the list, i suggest you leave.

has anyone bought the DVD? i almost did @ tool but it was raining and had no where to keep it safe. isis rock my world. i dont know if this song is on the new record, but it's sweet.

hahahha yes!

wow, what insight. you've got a good point there. keep up the great posts man. solid, solid work. listen, i was thinking... i was so impressed with what you said back there that i'd like to give you a full on sloppy blow job. the kind that grandma used to make. what do you think? you interested? you know, just something to encourage more posts like that last one. you know how to contact me.

ala v for vendetta. audience member 1: "wow it's political!!!" audience member 2: "so that's what anarchy is! those were bitching masks man!"

biggups. also, to shade: making sweeping generalizations about an entire country in saying that they aren't putting out anything interesting lately is a laugh. try looking. the UK is releasing stuff just as great as it was a decade ago, or half a century ago. quality of music isn't affected by the time that it's in, despite popular opinion. i hate it when people say things like "the UK sucks this year" or "2006 was a slow year for music, eh?" shut up. go wank on someone else's forum. not here.

panopticon is the one for me, but from what i've heard from this new one, it definitely takes the piss out of the old records.

something that would seem so plainly obvious to you and i, is taken for granted when it comes to the internet.

i considerred her but ive only ever seen the piano. i've heard the rest of her work is shite, but i plan on finding out for myself soon enough.

i dont even know what that is.

im glad i wasnt the only one that saw the similarities between the two. even ryan's more laid back quiet stuff would work well as a beck song and visa versa. but yeah, that rap song on his website was funny as hell. i dont own any albums of his at the moment. i've been meaning to, but lately im on a wilco-kick and have been busy buying up their catalogue. should i start with whiskeytown? i love the song "avenues"... not sure what album its from. as far as ryan adams songs go, i really like "sylvia plath" and "please don't let me go". "come pick me up" is also good but it's on the elizabethtown OST and i hate that movie and the people in it.

i saw them the next night with about 100 people. kicked ass. in the hammer? GO TI CATS!

i would also like to add george clooney to the list. both good night and good luck and confessions of a dangerous mind were awesome. moreso the former as far as direction is concerned. thoughts?

don mckellar!!!

im the same way, unless a song really works to encompass all the themes of the album. but even when people do it, im never like "man, they shouldve named the album differently"... i could really care less.

the new album should be good. i havent had time to get it yet. they played "dulcinea" when they openned for tool and it was fucking badass.

i didnt forget her...i've only seen lost in translation so i couldnt really say if she was good or not. i guess one of the other qualities we're looking for is consistency. i'll add that to the manifesto. i've seen the spiderman films and one from the evil dead series and can't really say i really noticed anything about them that i would consider on the same plane as the abovementionned ones. ill certainly take a look at those films (or try to) muran, thanks. what about ang lee? overrated? i hated brokeback mountain but that was more of a story issue than anything else. crouching tiger was beautiful, and he directed the hulk right? that was pretty good.

lol its funny when noobs fight. its like they're doing it for approval.

lol i was just going to start a thread myself. poor guy.

so, lately i've been into movies a lot. mainly because im now in film courses at my university and quite liking it. finally i'm able to put my love for movie-related things into words. these courses have given me a new vocabulary to work with. but i digress... the_rat_who_would_be_king and i have been compiling a list of underrated or underappreciated CONTEMPORARY directors... by contemporary i mean that they've worked in the past 20 years or that their best work exists within the past 20 years. so this is who we've come up with so far: (in no particular order or fashion) michael mann wes anderson christopher nolan terry gilliam spike lee paul thomas anderson david o. russell kevin smith clint eastwood joss whedon jean-pierre jeunet and here is our tenative list (we need to see more films by these jokers before we commit them to the list): darren aronofsky michel gondry roger avery steven soderbergh vincent gallo what are your thoughts? who should we add? who should we take off? why? i should probably clarify what we mean by underrated: underrated in the sense that in comparison to more major directors of this day and age (scorcese, spielberg, etc)... eric and i feel that the abovementionned filmmakers exhibit exemplary skills and talents that deserve more than a cursory glance. we feel that all of these filmmakers are doing something different than their peers, and have definitive styles that set them apart. this helps to explain why we've excluded people like tarantino, rodriquez and burton... in some cases its because we agree that they are simply overrated, meaning they have talent, but in comparison to those on the list, are nothing special. or in some cases they have no talent at all. if you're familiar with any female directors that you want to alert our attention to, please feel free, since i feel kindof weird that this list is so gender-biased. eric, feel free to add something if i've missed it.

i dated dallas green for awhile but he kept ruining good songs with something he calls "melody" so i called it off.

i think matt is a little more subtle than that. give the dude some credit. if that were the case he'd name the album "thinly veiled attempt at making a statement" when have his album titles EVER been political? theres more to matt good than afghanistan. jesus christ. some people need liscences to speak. anyways, this thread is lame. i really dont care what he names the album. ESPECIALLY since he hasn't even started recording the goddamn thing yet. WHAT REALLY MATTERS is what angle the promo shots of his face are going to be taken from, and what hue the pictures will be in. so many possibilities!

lol no offence to megtastic but that was hilarious.
