Hey -- you can knock Spielberg and Rudolph, but De Palma is cool. Who else makes a movie about a lesbian thief and doesn't punish her at the end or pair her off with the male hero?

The reason he doesn't like Von Trier is that Von Trier won't sugarcoat his vision like Spielberg/Rudolph.

White wants uplift -- Capra for the 21st century, not Von Trier's gloomy realism.
