I've never heard of so many incidents from one director, but I guess to each his own, in whatever way that might form in this thread.

I was really only talking about the film's content (and the average movie critic's overly enthusiastic reaction every time one of these directors releases a new film), but you're absolutely right about Stanley Kubrick (Alfred Hitchcock was like that too).
