Gary says: I have totally given up on finding any redeeming value in [Robert] Rodriguez’s films. He seems to have adapted the thinking of Tarantino which automatically makes his films schlocky and, yes, formulaic. There are few films out there that truly explain what our state is about. As a native Texan and somebody who has spent time in every region of our state, I find that most people outside of this state do not get it or have a preconceived notion about us.
