the favorite director of people who know nothing about film yet want to feel like they do

In other words, worshipers of a naked emperor. Yes I did see his films at the theater and yes I was mindblown, but the more I learn about film, real films, real masterpieces like Vertigo and The Birds, as well as the many great and unique movies he has plagiarized, the more I realize his work is not good at all. It's hard for me to describe but his work is as subtle and contrived as a grand vitesse train going into an asshole. You can't see his movies without his smothering fat ass, salamander grin and chode sweaty dick masturbatory presence. I don't think that makes for a great director. "Auteur" directors like Almodovar, Tarantino and Rodriguez eventually destroy their own films. Their style becomes intrusive. Plus it's not original and never was.
