I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I haven't seen all of his films, not by a long shot... but of what I have seen, I totally agree.

Re: Directors Who Only Make Consistently Excellent Movies
If we’re counting every single movie they’ve made, I doubt any directors meet this criteria. Even the Coens have a few middling movies.

Yeah, if we're sticking to the strict definition of "consistently" then I agree. Even the Coens have missed.
But that's not as much fun.

Tarantino. In my book, no misses, other than calling Unstoppable one of the 10 best movies of the last decade.

Gareth Edwards is the only one I can think of but he’s only made three movies.
