Director Roulette


I’m leaning toward doing Director Roulette for my next big movie blogging project – the only problem is; me.

I can random up a bunch of director’s names all I want – but ultimately they will be the same ones that I’m comfortable with and have in my collection - the same ones that fill my blog presently. I really do need to branch out a bit to make this interesting – not only for you but for me! So, I’ve been sneaking around some of your blogs and picking up names – and fixating on directors that I may be familiar with but haven’t seen a few of their films so I can make it a bit more interesting.

I’ve got a while to iron this out – considering my journey through my DVD collection is only just finished the K’s – but much like that project – I want to work on it early and get so far ahead of myself that I can have content for several weeks without missing time. Also, considering I’m going to force myself to write “original content” – not just copied and pasted synopsis – I need to get started while I have free time.

So, here’s where I ask you to give me the names of a few directors that you really like – that’s possible that I haven’t been as hip to.

  2. @ HATS - That's what I was looking for though - as (minus a couple) I don't really think that those directors crossed my mind - because I'm stuck in my own little "director universe" where the first ones that pop up are the ones that I really favor.
