Sorry... for some odd reason, I'm doing a dobie thread.

I'm just... compelled, for some reason.

Anyway, Uwe Boll is a safe bet, but anybody else know anyone worse?

A tie between Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer?
 
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
 
Definitely Uwe Boll.

Most annoying directors: Oliver Stone, Michael Bay, and Quentin Tarantino.

Eww, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

Chris Columbus. Though I do think it would be worth the awesome set of delicious irony were he to direct a movie iteration of "Pastwatch"...

I'm not saying he's particularly good or anything, but do you really think there's a case to be made that he's worse than Boll, Friedberg, or Seltzser?

Rob Zombie, case closed.

I'll take Rob Zombie -- not that he's great -- over Michael Bay any day of the week.

Not me. Everything I've seen from Rob Zombie has been utterly terrible.

At least Michael Bay manages to be somewhat entertaining half the time. Plus, I liked The Rock.

In the Rob Zombie vs. Michael Bay debate, I'll say this: right now, I take Zombie. Way back in the day, I liked Michael Bay's first two movies. Bad Boys was decent, and The Rock was actually a lot of fun. Since then, however, I (personally) find nothing whatsoever redeeming in anything he has done. I hate each movie he makes more than the last-- but this is not a preconceived notions thing. When I go to these things, God help me, I'm hoping to like them.

The fact that people like Transformers has done more to make me question the foundations of society than anything I have encountered before.

Rob Zombie hasn't made a good movie yet, but there are flashes of humanity in his otherwise vapid slaughter-fests that make me suspect he one day might.

But I thought of somebody worse than both of them ... someone whose terribleness recalls -- and possibly rivals -- the terribleness of the legendary Uwe:

Stephen Sommers.

I'm sorru anyone arrogant enough to say hes justified not making faithful adaptions of video games simply BECAUSE he thinks all real gamers pirate everything and anything takes the ticket.

The Devil's Rejects had some interesting bits in it. Overall as a film, I thought it was flimsy. But there were some moments. Especially the final scene. That showed some promise.

Hayao Miyazaki....

Is the best.

Michael Bay is the worst.

David Lynch!! None of the rest are even competitive.

Baz Luhrmann.

(Though I admittedly haven't seen anything by half the people named so far. Just as well, I guess!)
 
Posted by Samprimary (Member # 8561) on :
 
Anybody who says anything other than Uwe Boll is wrong.

Uwe Boll is the worst director alive.

Bay can not hold a candle to the suckiness of Boll.
