No joke -- I swear that I first read your headline (well, misread it) as follows: The Greatest Dictators Tournament: Round Two.
For a wmoment, I thought we were carrying this thing just way too far. . . .
Finding that three of my eight directors made it through the opening round surprises me; I tend to back the losers. As you know, my eight presidential votes have seen me back a loser six times. . . .
Of course, voting for Nixon in '80 was admittedly a long shot
wow -- the mvle got spamfiltered even when he didn't enter a google name, but went with a generic user name.
blogger hates me
Google, through its Blogger service, can never silence me!
Almost makes me wonder if it's your computer (or phone) that blogger thinks is the spam agent -- otherwise, why would it block "mister double ewe"?
If you know what I mean ...
I understand those who like Keaton better than Chaplin, but can't understand those who think he is a better director.
Painful that your categories lead to my top two directors all-time facing off in round two - and I had to change, because my original list had Kurosawa, but my updated one has Kubrick as #1.
And Muleboy - in the last 8 elections, Republicans won 5 and Democrats won 3 (or 4-4 depending on how you count 2000). Makes me wonder who you voted for.
1980 - Nixon
1984 - Mondale
1988 - George H.W. Bush
1992 - George H.W. Bush
1996 - Dole
2000 - Browne
2004 - Kerry
2008 - Obama
Mule, you are one fascinating equine.
Ah, mister beck, you sound like all of my ex-wives. . . .
