And that is completely understandable. My problem with De
Palma is that he's a schlock director. Every film buff's
viewing needs some schlock and some of it is immensely
entertaining. It's when people start comparing him to the
directors he's "inspired" by, I take umbrage with it. Yes,
talk about film needs to be un-snobbed but that shouldn't
open the door to every imitative hack who ever made a film to
be taken seriously.
