[!@#$%!]

miranda july was a video & performance artist before doing me & you etc-- so i don't know if she has more "features" in her. still i have a sort of mind crush on her weird persona. her movie had brilliant writing but i don't know if as a whole it is a "masterpiece". most people don't "get" what goes into a movie, all the many aspects that must converge. am i wasting my time here attempting explanations?

as for "the best", im not sure the poll covers all the options.

i like guy maddin a lot. and wes anderson. and jim jarmusch. and sofia did a beautiful job with lost in translation. sideway was NOT boring, had great writing, but the cinematography was pure shit. but don't forget other countries. francois ozon for example. and there are a couple of chinese dudes whose name i cannot spell. actually chinese movies are kicking everything else out of the water these days; at least in terms of cinematography we're talking spectacular gems... the thing with kubrickl, he is dead, so i dont get if by "of our time" it is meant the past couple of years or the past 5 decades.

but i have not finished my coffee yet and i am rambling. need to focus. blah blah. i have work to do. oh, and shaylaman is shit, not just because of the obvious alliteration. it's because he is shit and so are the people who love him. so this poll is on crack. goodbye for now.
