He made a lot of garbage, but he had one or two good ones.

Also, one of his movies gave us this song. It's the best song.

The guy I was quoting is ten years older than me. So, I guess he has even more of an excuse.

Cronenberg's 72, so I'd probably say about 3-8 years of functional directing.

George Miller's the one I worry about now, since Fury Road took something like ten years to make and he wants to at least make another two Mad Max movies.

Yeah. Carpenter's the young guy out of the bunch at 67. Romero's 75, so I'd say he'd probably be the next of the majors to go.

I can't imagine that Tobe Hooper (72) is long for this world either.

I saw A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when I was 4 years old and couldn't sleep with my lights off for years. Yes, I'm a giant pussy. So there's a special place in my heart of Wes Craven. RIP
