So, draw your own conclusions based on the evidence below. The person who explains the point I’m trying to make the best gets cake. I’m not even kidding. I will bake you a goddamn cake and send it to your house. That’s how much this means to me. And I make a mean motherfucking cake, people.
This is officially a Pajiba Contest.
Screenwriters in bold. Directors in parenthesis. Use the headline as a guide. It may also be helpful to know that William Goldman seems to be the exception to the rule I’m trying to demonstrate.
