Yeah it is as inevitable as the day is long... or the fact that the first Public Image Limited album was so misunderstood... or the fact that Helen Lundeberg is a genius song.

...also am I the only person who enjoyed Guy Ritchie's last movie Revolver?... it's such a cold and empty experience... I love it.

I must say i really like Tim Burton. Sure his films sometimes have a mound of cheese on them but his sets are so overblown, in a good way though. Escapism is the word for him.

David Lynch is overrated.

Rob- I can't give you rep (I gotta spread it around first) but Spike Lee is the effing man.

I never said he was crap, in fact I think he's great. But he is in no way original.
