Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! I like Leone, and he should be on the list, but he is not better than John Ford.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! Yeah, look at us pretentious guys, choosing directors like Keaton and Chaplin, who of course are known for their serious, brooding films...

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! People almost seem to equate prententious with 'old,' sometimes...which is odd.

Awwwww, there it is.

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! It's just frustrated to have to deal with certain posters on this board who have this attitude that any film made before they were old enough to watch movies must be not worth watching and thus anyone who wants to do so must be pretentious...
Sometimes I even read books that were written before I was born!

Re: WOKJ 100 best directors: The Countdown! Playing NOW! If nothing else, Zemeckis is consistent. Very few misses on his list.

I assume by the pretentious comment trix was referring to yosh and makeshift pretending their taste is better than anyone else's. _________________Shack’s top 50 tv shows - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90227

Reading books is bad enough, then you admit you read books that were written before you were born?? You are oozing with a self important sense of superiority.  _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."

Sometimes I even read books that were written before I was born! I don't have that opinion, not at all. I'm mostly kidding with the pretentious comments, and I gear it towards makeshift + yoshue because of their film tastes. I wish I could have the type of cinema experience that those guys have. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same.
