holy ghost: arnie

Almost. Make Ben Hogan the Holy Ghost.

[lleeder]

John Belushi-The father
Chris Farley- The son
John Candy- The holy ghost

[Suspect Chin]

How are you associating the holy spirit with the other two? The relationship between the father and son is obvious, but is the holy spirit a sort of grandfather or just an overarching greatest of all time?

[TheGameHHH]

good call, its now a perfect list

I think the son is directly from the father.I think the holy spirit connects to the first two but in a more indirect way.

[disneyspy]

John Belushi-The father

John Candy- The holy ghost
they're all ghosts

Man, I thought for sure you would have liked that one...

[epo]

Father: Francois Truffaut
Son: Steven Spielberg
Holy Ghost: Alfred Hitchcock

[paulisded]

Johnny Cash
Willie Nelson
Hank Jr.

Since I believe Hank Jr.'s a hack, I'll put up his father.

[epo]

You should believe it, because its absolutely true.

[Hottub]

Jimi Hendrix
Edward Van Halen
Randy Rhodes

[paulisded]

Chuck Berry
Keith Richards
Robert Johnson

[jetdog]

I'd say Kubrick is the father, Tarantino is the son, and Hitchcock is the holy spirit

how bout this...

Kubrick is the father
Wes Anderson is the son
and David Lynch is the HS
?

[jetdog]

Chuck Berry
Keith Richards
Robert Johnson

I really like this, but how do you justify RJ not being the father?

RJ
KR
CB

I was going under the guidelines that the Holy Spirit is no longer alive.

fair enough, but I wouldn't get too wrapped up in guidelines...c'mon Robert Johnson's not gonna be the father in this sitiuation?

[BlackSpider]

I thought the same thing...

[GreatAmericanZero]

kubrick would be the HS over Lynch, but i don't see Lynch's work as an influence on Wes Anderson

MAYBE

Kubrick as the HS
David Lynch as the Father
and then Charlie Kaufman as the son

[jetdog]

Les Paul - father
PRS - son
Strat/ Tele - HS

father:mikeyboy

WOW!

Simply, no.

Unless by ghost you mean Justjon is never here and does nothing, than sure. I'd go this...

Father: Carter
Son: Mikeyboy
Holy Ghost: FM Jeff/Gvac

[jetdog]

MAYBE

Kubrick as the HS
David Lynch as the Father

good point about lynch and anderson, but I can't see Kubrick not being the father, Lynch was a stretch...

Kubrick could certainly be father and I think Speilberg (as much as I hate to admit it) would fit as son, but who would be HS? Does Ridley Scott fit in here? Lucas? I'm drawing a blank...

[Hottub]

Either way is fine by me. It's all semantics.

[tanless1]

fred allen- father
jack benny- son
bob einstien- hs

[Kublakhan61]

Yeah, Wes Anderson is in a family with Goddard and Truffaut - nowhere near Kubrick and Lynch.

i think for any good modern director, of almost any genre, Hitchcock has to be the holy ghost. Every director that has come after him was influenced by him

[epo]

Isn't that kind of easy though? While most have been influenced by Hitchcock, most are also influenced by Orson Welles, John Ford, Johh Huston, Billy Wilder, David Lean......etc.

We might be really limiting ourselves on directors here.

i just see Hitchcock as more diverse. Someone like Spielberg though, who really does use a lot of suspense in his movies would def holy ghost the shit out of Hitchcock

Yeah, EPO is right - what do we do with guys like Herzog, Korine, Cassavetes, Malick?

Malick is a monster.

[El Mudo]

they're all ghosts

the ghost should be dead


i agree


I don't think the Ghost should necessarily be dead, but I think the definition could be expanded to include someone/something that was gigantic briefly, and then just kinda faded away abruptly or showed such wonderful potential but never really lived up to it...Almost like a Phoenix

I think Bobby Orr, Gale Sayers and Sandy Koufax are great examples of those Holy Ghosts, because they were huge stars that shone briefly, but they will always be remembered for how fantastic they were

If you're looking at a "wasted potential" Holy Ghost, I nominate Derrick Coleman
