Spielburg has directed some great movies. I also enjoy Terrintino's work. Reservoir Dogs was awesome and so was Pulp Fiction.

I really like Oliver Stone. His style really speaks to me and always keeps the themes of the movie clear. He's probably my favorite. Following him is Burton, then Scorcase, then Spielberg, then Kubrik

What does it all mean?

undiscovered, what do you think of the whole Kazan boycott at the oscars?

Explain the Kazan-Oscar situation. I'll bet my left testicle it was concerning his past as a member of the communist party...?

yes, you are right on the money: in last year's award show, Kazan was to be awarded the lifetime achievement award(i think.) many actors and other hollywood types decided to boycott Kazan by not clapping or anything when the award was presented because of his involvement in naming the communists in hollywood and the blacklisting that followed. many were not happy he recieved that award, and supposedly there was talk of a walk out, but we all know that would never happen.

Oliver Stone is alright,if a bit nuts.Platoon was good,JFK was very good(unless your looking for facts ),The Doors was alright but they made Jim Morrison even more morbid than he really was(if such a thing is possible),Morrison did have a little bit of a sense of humor,sometimes.

I like Coppala's earlier stuff from the 70's(I still think he hasn't totally recovered from those 2 or 3 years in the jungle filming Apocolypse Now ,great film but his last great film),Hitchhock was always great,Robert Altman's early stuff was good to(MASH,the movie NOT the tv show),Kubrick was great(Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorite movies of all time),Tarantino is good.

Let's get down to brass tacks here, how much for the ape?

As usual, marijuana saves an otherwise disasterous day.

(I hope I'm thinking of the correct director up there )

Speilburg is good, I agree. With him, though, it's a matter of personal taste when I say he's never really said anything to me save "Saving Private Ryan" (I bet a lot a people can say the same, too).

David Lynch! Yes! The guy's a master of making a dream out of a movie!

As for Tarantino, his shots are the only things I find interesting about his directing (aside, of course, from his ever-famous run-on dialogue that Kevin Smith's writings resemble). ...Actually, now that I think about it, he also has the uncanny ability to select the most effective soundtracks imaginable.

i also like spielberg cuz jerassik park fuckin rocked
