...I once read an interview in which he called Argento a talentless hack and was angered by any comparison of the two; so, let's hope Brian is watching TV instead of surfing the net.

That quote has made me lose a lot of respect for De Palma I hate celebrities bitching and fighting with each other its lame. Both are great directors and I love both of their movies but I would have to say Argento although both have dissapointed me equally at times with some truely terrible movies. I like Argento for the shear savagery of some of his work and his unerving soundtracks that companion them. I remember seeing Suspiria for the first time on the big screen that opening murder gave me a geniune shock and left me uneasy. The nightmarish dreamlike tone of alot of his films also draws me to his work but some people find this confusing but I find the disorientation adds to the suspense you really get to experience the characters confusion and fear. But thats just me :) Speaking of DePalma do you guys like Raising Cain? I think John Lithgow is great as a villian in it and it was a really well written quirky movie. What happened to Lithgow anyway he had some great roles as a villian then went and did that mindless bullshit sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun and dull Hollywood vehicles?
