DFW, TX Favorite Director

am i the only one who voted for kurosawa [on purpose]?

 

Nope.

 

Whoa. I wonder if that calls for a Doa!! or not. I am sad to say that I don't even know who Kurosawa is. I think that difinitely deserves a DOA!!! Maybe this is the way of the Force telling me to check him out. What has he done?
