Why he might be annoying:

    His movies were poorly made.
    Most of his actresses had extraordinarily huge breasts.
    He was technically incompetent.
    He didn't know how to move a camera, so his films are just stationary shots edited together.
    He sneered at hardcore pornography, saying it was low-class.
    He collaborated with Roger Ebert on 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls,' considered one of the worst movies in history.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in World War II.
    He claimed he was friends with Ernest Hemingway during the war.
    He was a pioneer photographer for 'Playboy' magazine.
    He was a one of the first adult film-makers.
    His movies have great titles, including 'Mondo Topless,' 'Common Law Cabin' and 'Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens.'
    'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' (another great title) has a huge following.
    His cinematic trademark was huge-breasted women (beat that, Stanley Kubrick).
    He didn't take himself too seriously.
    The bands Mudhoney and Faster Pussycat were named after his movies.
