@ Matt:
I appreciate Spielberg as well………it’s just in vogue to trash him right now…..wait until you see all the appreciation heaped on him after he’s dead.
I didn’t know there were so many Whitney Houston fans until she died…..
A lot of the Whitney Houston mourners are grieving over their own lost youth and reflecting on their own inevitable decline and fall.
There is no “most” for me, but there are directors who are overrated in my opinion. Like…
P.T. Anderson: Didn’t like There Will Be Blood. Yes, his stuff is pretty good (Boogie Nights is his best in my opinion), but I can’t help but notice just how too many people worship this guy. There is nothing I can see in his movies that can make me be a big fan.
Michael Haneke: Ugh, the pretension and the “society is messed up” bullshit…Cache was good, though.
Ang Lee(2000s): Crouching Tiger was awesome as fuck, but other than that, I can’t get around this guy’s stuff.
Troy Nixey: Fuck Saints.

I’m defining “overrated” as directors that a lot of other people love that I personally do not love.
Albert Brooks
Jim Jarmusch
David Lynch
Terry Gilliam
Guillermo Del Toro
Michel Gondry
