CinemaBowl II: The Directors (Round One: Blue A & B)

All right, I'm slipping on the asbestos boxers for this one, because this is, for my money, the most brutal of the first-round polls. Seriously. There's a few pairings here that make me want to kick my own ass. Unfortunately, this is no time for cowardice, so let's just dive in, shall we? As always, for each pairing, choose the director you prefer, using whatever criteria you see fit. The winner of each pairing will advance to round 2. And again, there are two separate polls, so be sure to click both "Submit" buttons.

Deadline for this round of voting is Friday, April 17 at 1 p.m.; if you ahvent' already, you can still get in on yesterday's poll until 1 p.m. today. Enjoy! *ducks* This poll is closed; all votes have been recorded. Thanks!

EDIT: Yep, I botched it: #198 wasn't supposed to be Bruckheimer, but someone else entirely, but I evidently suffered a long-term brain cramp. I have to do some run-offs on some ties, which I'll put up on Friday; I'll include a new match-up for Guy Ritchie at that time. In the meantime, feel free to skip A-3. Sorry!
