  spielberg's "a.i." is a great parable on late modern feeling culture 
  (pretty much like v) which also contains the emblematic picture of the year 
  2001: flood waves rolling in between the forsaken twin towers ... steven 
  spielberg, to say this too, he's heavily underrated on this list; he's the 
  only film director i expect anything of for the future ... but perhaps there 
  will be new faces ...

  ...  by the way: what's the guy who made "magnolia" doing right now?
