pop culture quiz part two

This is the film one. (I left out the Almadovar question because I know none of you read subtitles anyway. But you'll get bonus points if you comment about it.)

Please pick the answer that you identify with most strongly.

I have not seen any of Almadovar's films. This is not because I don't read subtitles, because I do read 'em. I just haven't taken the time to go out and rent much Spanish cinema, though I've seen a fair number of Jeunet's films (the four more recent ones, at least), Queen Margot, Ridicule, Before the Rain, and The Dreamlife of Angels.

Sadly, I've only seen two of Soderbergh's films (but I've seen a couple of Hal Hartley's) -- sex lies and videotape (one of my faves) and Eric Brockovich (which I enjoyed), but that's hardly enough to develop an opinion of a director.

And no David Lynch? David Cronenberg? Damn. It's the end of the day. My brain is sagging.

I've only seen two of Cronenberg's films, wasn't really impressed. And while I have respect for Lynch I do think he's a little overrated. I'm not one of those Twin Peaks people, I just really like the Lost Highway soundtrack and Mullholland Drive.

I should have put a Wes Anderson question, but he hasn't done enough films.

With Cronenberg, it really depends on which films you see first. He can be rather out there.

And as for Lynch, I haven't seen Mullholland Drive because I've been a recluse (barring LOTR) for too long. I've also missed The Straight Story. And I am undoubtably "one of those Twin Peaks people" ;P

Oh... Peter Jackson. And I don't just mean LOTR... Meet the Feebles, Heavenly Creatures, Dead Alive, and The Frighteners... But, again, I'm a fan.

So many directors, so many styles, plots, themes, approaches, and audiences. I'll never see half of what's worth watching out there...

not a twin peaks person? please explain. you mean you haven't watched it, or you've seen it and didn't enjoy it?

I mean that I'm not one of those people who've seen every single episode and think it's TEH BEST SHOW EVAH.
