With the many lists and essays written on the subject of film, there has been one thing that The Oscar Buzz has tried to understand: Who is my favorite of the film world? For 10 weeks this summer, I will be exploring this with a countdown of the Top 50 names based on a numerical ranking of ratings from various sources, the following is a list of directors who rank above everyone else. With occasional upsets, this is intended as both a discussion opener as well as a better understanding of me as a film critic and fan. Please enjoy and leave any comments you have regarding the entry's selection.
PETER JACKSON
Years Active: 1976-present
Films as Director: 12
Oscar Wins: 3
- Best Director (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
- Best Picture (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
- Best Adapted Screenplay (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
Who: One of the premiere directors out of Australia, Jackson started off making some of the most disgusting horror films in history. This is especially strange because as he "matured" and tackled heavier themes, he became more visually interesting and created something interesting with them. He has also dedicated a large portion of his life adapting the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and thus helping to redefine what an epic can be. He is visually innovative and pushes boundaries in ways that make his peers seem lazy. He is consistently interesting and makes blockbusters that hearken back to the old school Steven Spielberg models in terms of scale. He remains consistently interesting, even if his films don't necessarily reflect that every time.

WHY DO I LOVE?

Without a doubt, one of the hardest things to consider when making this list is how important Lord of the Rings was in my childhood. Speaking as I was 14 when the final one came out, those films connected me with my peers and made me enthusiastic about films in ways that none of his other work has (save for maybe Heavenly Creatures). He continues to be ambitious and interesting, and I like him for that. His dedication to craft and impressively dense box set of movies makes me even more pressed to find reasons not to include him on this list. He is an important film maker for me because he not only made a defining blockbuster for my childhood, but he connects to my passion for films and even the Oscars. While I cannot get into The Hobbit series as much, I still give him a shot in hopes that things will pan out.
UP NEXT: The highest ranked animation director on this list, and it is really, really obvious.
Peter Jackson is just a fat and mutt cocksucker and asshole broken kiwi bissexual junkie bastard who don't know to shut up and who doesn't know how to put himself in his own rightful place and who is always walking barefoot and with shorts everywhere like a fucking animal and a cheap whore as my ex-teacher Jorge Luíz and as Naomi Watts aswell.
ReplyDeletePeter Jackson also practices oral and anal sex with his own fucking and usuless Oscars with his own family and friends aswell.
ReplyDeletePeter or Petra Jackson dosen't have a penis and because of this, he or maybe she put all his all Oscars in her own pussy and in her mouth and asshole aswell only to cum and masturbate herself.
ReplyDeletePeter Jackson stinks like a goat and a sewage rat as Naomi Watts, Russell Crowe and as my brazilian ex-teacher in that carioca whorehouse old School called Integração who was called Jorge Luíz who was the perfect copy of the own Peter Jackson in all senses and as that old brazilian scumbag called Mirtes Carvalho who lives in 47 street in Jardim Atlântico aswell.

ReplyDeleteThat kiwi fat old bitch called Peter Jackson played the violent and agressive macho in cinema back in day, but in real life she is just a coward and floppy brush faggot as the own Mirtes Carvalho who lives in 47 Street in Jardim Atlântico aswell.
ReplyDeletePeter Jackson and his country New Zealand are just only the garbage and the sewage of the entire world.
ReplyDeleteMy renegade and abandoned scrotum and bastard cocksucker and asshole broken uncle and relative Mirtes Carvalho who lives alone now in 47 Street in Jardim Atlântico in Itaipuaçu in Rio de Janeiro state and who always was a extremely violent and dangerous promiscuous and bissexual brazilian old pimp and male gigolo and a junkie rapist and sexual criminal and child molester of the sign of Libra born in Campo Grande in Mato Grosso do Sul always infinitely most worst and evil than the own Peter Jackson in absolutely everything aswell.
