No offense, but I personally think Baz Luhrmann is a worthy candidate for worst director to ever get any kind of critical acclaim, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with style over substance, but goddamn, is this guy's editor an ADD afflicted chimpanzee? Moulin Rouge had the most excessive use of cutaway I've ever seen. I usually love abrasiveness in film but this guy takes it way way waaaaaaay too far.
I just can't stand his work aside from Romeo + Juliet which was decent. Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge were just incredibly hammy and overbearing.
Great call on Burton, Coens and Jackson though.
