He's really something else, that I will definitely agree with. He is one of the few filmmakers that when he does something, you just know it is going to be good.
I started out with a sort of disdain for him though because my college roommate was absolutely obsessed with Reservoir Dogs and wouldn't shut up about it. He would watch it like every week and would invite people over to our shared apartment to have long discussions about it. The posters were featured prominently in our living room and when I watched it I was like "yeah, it's ok."
Over time he really honed his skills though and has a very distinct style that is all his own.
