You can't read for shit though, Kalyx. You have proven this numerous times.

Nobody is saying it wasn't a benchmark or a massive achievement. I'm saying I don't particularly like it beyond appreciating the technical skill and the pretty imagery of it, and there are others who have taken zero inspiration from it in the production of their own films.

Destor just handed me a list of unsourced quotes from a short list of big name directors and critics when asked to back up his claim that every film made in the decade since 2001 was solely and directly inspired by it.
