I'd be interested in hearing your explanation for this. If you ever figure it out lol

this is an interesting point. someone else had mentioned this a while back how the cut and paste way he structures his films are similar to a hip hop producer constructing beats. and just like in music, purists will say he he's a hack and claim it's not 'real' filmmaking. but in a sense he's very original. especially since the filmmakers influenced by him are copying his movies, but not the method in which he puts them together.
