Movie Director Tourney NW Region - The Road to the Sweet 16 (1 Viewer)

[KarmaPolice]

First round of the tourney is over.  There quite a few upsets (except for in the NE Region).  Three of the 13 seeds went on to win, and a total of 8 double digits seeds pulled off the "upset". 

Let's revisit what my intent with this tournament was:

We are voting on which one of the these director's movie you would want to see TODAY.  Of course past performance is part of the equation, but we should also be factoring in recent performance and what you think they will be doing in the future.  For the sake of the tournament, the ONLY information you have to decide between the two directors is something that reads "New Movie by _______".  There are no trailers, synopsis, or imdb page to look at.  I don't want it to be about theater experience either - what type of movies you usually pay for in the theater, etc..  I posted in one of the other threads this scenario: we all have the same home set up, so for the match pretend you get 2 blurays shipped to you in a blank case that reads "New movie by ______".  You have to pick one, and the other is destroyed MI style.

That 5-13 matchup is tough....

Apatow / Tarantino is brutal.  Had to go Tarantino, despite the fact that I thought the Hateful 8 was about 30% too long and 30% too violent, but I think Apatow deserved a much higher seed.

Seems like you are in the minority there.

I like Apatow, but talk about someone whose movies are too long...

  There isn't one of his movies that I didn't think could be edited down a good 25mins or so.

Will bump one more time, but no close matches in this one.  Glad to see Iñárritu getting the votes this round.  You guys had me worried last round.
