RE: I'm a big fan and I was quite disappointed

I wasn't talking about Tarantino, but the postmodern film theory of "auteurism." It is an apologetic "theory." It wasn't a theory based on merit, but an attempt by some French fanboys with a fascination for everything American to justify their fascination. "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail," Mark Twain wrote. And once the French fanboys started to look for authorial marks, they found them everywhere.
