Yes i had the same reaction. Although i don't rate any of his work as highly as some people, everything he does is massively flawed and pretentious in some way. I've seen everything from The Draughtman's Contract to 8 1/2 Women and would rate Z.0.0. as his best. Let me know when you've seen some more, be interested to see how you feel about Cook, Prospero & Macon. Maybe i'll start a rate the director thread on him myself.
