I would say Tim Burton

I am with you . Mine is also Wes Anderson. Although I will say Tim Burton is a very close second. Seems like everyone on this thread feels the same way!

They are definitely famous for a reason! Geniuses at what they do for sure.

I love Wes Anderson and Tim Burton. I don't want to be too mainstream and say Quentin Tarantino but it is what it is. He's talented. Also love Guillermo del Toro.

Hands down Christopher Nolan. He has a unique style that I really enjoy. His movies are always visually stunning and thought-provoking.

My favorite movie director is M. Night Shyamalan. I love his movies because they always have a twist ending that I never see coming. His movies are suspenseful and keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

lol i feel like he's always just trying to come out with a wackier twist every time, feels kinda forced imo but it's fun to guess what the twist will be

I don't really have a favorite movie director, but I really enjoy movies directed by Quentin Tarantino, particularly both volumes of Kill Bill.

Hayao Miyazaki is a visionary, I love pretty much everything he has worked on. There's something so otherwordly yet familiar about his characters and settings

I've been told it's a bit pretentious but Stanley Kubrick has made some of my favorite films ever

Surprised no one's mentioned Spike Lee so far, the man's a legend in our community

Kinda old school I suppose but I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock's work

Tarantino of course, he's entirely leagues above most of the competition save a select few. His work inspired me to pursue a career in this field

i agree with the Wes Anderson pick, he's an excellent example of a director with creative vision and a distinct style

John Singleton for sure

Not to be a weeb or anything, but I just love what Makoto Shinkai and Hayao Miyazaki can make out of the medium of animation. Their works literally feel like my favorite line from Howl's Moving Castle that goes "It all seems so familiar, yet I know I've never been here before."

Mine's Alfred Hitchcock. I always loved rewatching his movies all the time. I study every element. It's just mindblowing!

Tim Burton <3 I love how he creates whimsy with deep messages.

Edgar Wright comes up with the most brilliant ideas for his storytelling. I can never get enough of the producrion value in his films. They all feel so fresh and high quality. Last Night in Soho had such immaculate camera work.

Tarantino!! I have never watched any Tarantino movie that I didn't like. He's good!

Quentin Tarantino is an easy pick for me. Simply marvelous!

I love Jim Jarmusch. check out ‘Stranger than paradise’

Fifth year labor and employment associate at Big4 L&E firm (think Littler) and am considering making a move into big law (think Jones Day, Goodwin, etc.) Any thoughts on if it’s worth it this late in my associate career? Also, do those big firms take 6-8 year L&E laterals?

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans? I’m three years out of law school and I still have $160K in student debt despite making aggressive payments. I work in a larger firm (not big law per se, but 250+ attorneys and big for the market). I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.
