willco, dude, you can't accuse tvc of bad arguments when you claim argento is better than fellini. fellini has exerted a powerful influence on modern cinematography and direction across more than a single genre, and is cited as an inspiration by more directors than just those from the coterie of overinflated hacks who nerd out on horror. argento made some trippy horror flicks and set the bar for gialli cinema, but doesn't even begin to approach the influence of fellini.
and raimi's just who you call when you can't get cameron or scott. "hey, we got a big budget. who should direct?" "ridley scott?" "nah, he's not so big on licensed properties -- he's too into the creativity thing." "cameron?" "nah, too much vision; he'll feud with the property owner." "fuck, who's a big enough whore for money, then?" <together>"SAM RAIMI!"
