YES!
Quote from director David Cronenberg, regarding a comparison made between him and Tarantino:
"I don’t think what I’m doing is the same as what he’s doing at all, because I think his movies are only about movies. They’re only about other movies. It’s all retro. His references are never to human life, but to human life as filtered through old movies. He’s basically always doing remakes and pastiches of old movies. And I saw those 70s movies when they came out - they were bad then. Why would you want to do a remake of a bad 70s movie? I don’t see that remaking it makes it good somehow."
Lova ya, Dave.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
