Let’s all give praise to the post-grunge era in music.
Most of these directors have become better with age, barring Matthew Rolston. His more recent endeavors have proven that he wishes to stay current with the Top 40 music moguls. Has old age come knocking on his door? On the flip side, McG has progressed into an interesting visual creator, and I will comment more on that in an upcoming post.
