I have a theory that Sam Raimi has worked with an inordinate amount of Academy Award-Level Talent in his film career. I am documenting that here. In addition I plan on comparing his profile to that of other, notable directors, e.g. Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, to see how he stacks up.
I'm a Pattern Recognizer. Pardon me if this pattern is too obtuse.
