Singer, Nolan, QT, and Lynch are good examples of directors who simply don’t do shitty movies.[/quote]
I wouldnt put Nolan or Singer on QTs level at all.
Singer did Usual Suspects (an obvious Dogs/Pulp riff) and X Men 1 and 2. X Men 1 was terrible and X Men 2 isnt anything special imo.
Nolan did Memento (another Pulp Fiction influenced film with the whole backwards non-linear style). And he did Imsonia. Again, nothing special.
Im not a fan of Lynch, but Id say hes definitely more of an auteur than Nolan and Singer.
QT and Lynch are auteurs. Nolan and Singer are directors for hire.
