One thing I don't recall in previous incarnations of this thread was
whether or not these directors were any good directing 3D movies? Particularly
in respect to how their decisions affected the 3D'ness of their
movies (as compared to other 3D directors such as Alfred Hitchcock about
whom are told stories about things done to make the 3D come out as desired).

I mean no disrespect, but I really don't know how good of a 3D (specifically)
directors they were.  They may have been picked as directors for their 
movies for reasons other than their talents in high quality 
(specifically) 3-D  movie production.  Or maybe they were.

Were they good?
