No offense taken
Everyone that I know who says they like Pi genuinley likes it, although you have to be into the whole art-film thing (which is different than indie mind you, although 90% of art-films are indie films.)
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm mainly a fan of the cinematography and editing in Pi; they did some very clever things with a small budget. I'm interested in films that tell stories visually (which is what I think Pi did quite well) rather than through dialogue. The film was able to convey the main characters' inner state almost entirely through the cinematography, and stuff like that I really dig!
Tetsuo: The Iron Man, which I listed as my favorite movie in this thread, is much the same; it tells a bizzare tale almost entirely through cinematograpy alone. I think there's only something like 20 lines of dialogue in the whole film. <
