I'm really curious, and I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I recognize his movies for what they are, but I just view them as pure pop-culture, derivative entertainment. Maybe this is because I'm familiar with a lot of the films that he has based his movies on, but I don't know. I just don't feel a personal connection with his films.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
maybe "touch" was the wrong way to put it. i don't come away from his movies necessarily with a different view on life or emotionally richer. i just love everything about his movies. i find them wildly entertaining and that especially includes the dialogue. i love the over the top violence, the pop culture refences, the strong female leads, everything. i can't explain it. i'm just not verbose enough.
the fact is, every time he makes a movie, i have to force myself not to watch them over and over. i'm like a little kid.

That's a pretty good assessment. And as I said, I love his movies too for the pure entertainment value.

it's really not a good assessment though. i just don't know how to put into words what i feel. that's why i could never be a critic. i know why i like things (or dislike them) but i just don't know how to say it.
