Sure, from Psycho on out he degrades terribly but maybe he had dementia. His early stuff is worth watching and would that his films were required viewing for anyone hoping to make a movie. &nbsp; That said, right on about Ridley Scott. Yes, the camera thing earns him top honors as one of the worst ever.&nbsp; As for mine...James Cameron, as others have pointed out, I think. Stanley Kubrick. George Lucas. ~~Anyone who can make award winning actors lousy is a worthless director. (And no one in his right mind can honestly say that the Star Wars prequels were worth the ozone burned). And, (for this I will be stoned worse than you will for the Alfred Hithcock listing), Steven Spielberg.&nbsp; Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:30:18 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bshapiro/2010/01/17/top-10-most-overrated-directors-of-all-time/#IDComment52432935 http://biggovernment.com/skadi/2010/01/16/coakley-the-political-gift-that-keeps-on-giving/#IDComment52364535 Honestly, I think I&#039;ll miss her when she (hopefully) disappears into the mist of political oblivion. Her gaffe&#039;s are a greater source of amusement than Biden&#039;s. In seriousness, though, the fact that she is nearly neck-and-neck with the conservative AFTER stories like the child-r*pe have come out chills me. Our society is turning into a scary place that I&#039;m not sure can handle freedom much longer. A society that will vote in, or desire to vote in, someone who looks the other way after a crime that heinous does not deserve freedom.

He is a great actor but this is a bad medium for his talent. Haven&#039;t bothered to watch it again.

But, yes, I am deeply concerned about the others as well. <br /><br />Sent from my iPhone Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:10:04 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/tdelbeccaro/2009/12/28/obamas-6-worst-policy-decisions/#IDComment49362617 http://biggovernment.com/jhoft/2009/12/28/fistgate-xii-obamas-safe-schools-czars-glsen-conferences-included-dld-tips-and-needle-instructions-for-teens/#IDComment49343304 Which is why I continue to wonder why any conservative sends their child to the public system. In almost every state it is legal at some level to homeschool. Are we all so stupid we think *our* children will somehow be immune to the communist propoganda preached in the public classrooms from preschool on up? If we are, I guess we deserve what we get.
