Of course not, because that would require something called "talent."

Most films give you that or want to give you that but he seems to be aiming to give a different experience. Also they don't follow that build up and pay off thing that people have become accustomed to in movies and I guess if you want the regular format, three stage thing then don't see his films.

The only payoff that I get at the end of his films is a newfound appreciation for time, as in, why did I spend two hours of my life sitting through this garbage?

I also don't think any of his films have been "hugely popular" and after Rushmore they've only been esteemed by half the audience/critics, I would say. I wouldn't say you're in a small minority.

They haven't been commercial hits, but they certainly have garnered critical acclaim. I swear, the pages of the Village Voice were sticky when their review of "The Royal Tenenbaums" was published.
