Why he might be annoying:

    He started out as a run of the mill, pretentious, art fart, Italian film director and devolved to a run of the mill, pretentious, art fart, Italian porn film director.
    He rejects the term pornography for his work, preferring the term 'erotica.' Whatever.
    He is amazingly egotistical and remarkably pretentious.
    In several of his movies ,he has shown animals actually being killed in brutal fashion.
    For some reason, he often has shots of women's buttocks and their unshaven armpits in his movies.
    He smokes cigars.
    He makes cameo appearances ala Alfred Hitchcock in his movies.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Tinto is a really cool nickname as nicknames go.
    He usually shoots in a distinctive point of view style so the moviegoer sees things as they would in real life.
    He uses mirrors in a lot of his movies.
    His movies are often very fast paced.
    He directed 'Caligula' but had his name removed from the credits (replaced by Alan Smithee) when producer Bob Guccione re-edited it and added hard core porn scenes with his permission.
    He edits his own movies now.
