Is Alfred Hitchcock the Most Overrated Director Ever?

That's the charge of a writer at Big Hollywood, the conservative movie site that counted Hitch, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, David Lynch and Ridley Scott among the most misrepresented of Hollywood helmers. To each his own, but the author's comments about Quentin Tarantino ("To paraphrase William McAdoo on Warren G. Harding, Tarantino's films are like an army moving over a landscape in search of an idea") and Mike Nichols ("The ending of [The Graduate] alone makes it unworthy of human viewing) suggest that someone's just doing his best to hold down the site's chief aesthete slot until Victoria Jackson gets around to contributing again.
