Please ignore the GVS Deathmatch.  It was way too one sided.  I had no idea that Wong Kar Wai was as beloved and as widely seen as he seems to be.

I added Lynch at the suggestion of a friend.  Great idea.

Still WKW.

Not so sure this one will turn out so different.

...because David Fincher is one of the Top 5 Directors working today.  I only see him losing to Paul Thomas Anderson and The Coen Brothers.

...and I think he's even better than them.

Poll reset after a great suggestion by a Friend that I throw David Lynch into the ring.

Good luck. (and sorry for all the post whoring today.)

There can only be Wong.

It's a Wong way street.

All for Wong, and Wong for all.

I could go Wong forever... but I'll stop.

I went with WKW. I'd probably put Lynch ahead of Fincher too, though maybe CCofBB will be a masterpiece and push him over the top.

That's a battle that can't be Wong.
