The problem is that he rarely respects modern cinema unless it's in his wheel house which is what TS and Marsh are saying. He only has love for people that are doing similar things that he does or films that were made before the 1980's.

His attitude is just very dismissive of a lot of modern works unless they fit into certain genres or styles he approves of. He's good at what he does but he is extremely elitist.
