The html was all the same and looked very organized and neat (unlike most of what i've seen).
I could not see the specific css, but the generic css looked all the same, set out for each section/div in the html.
Bad Design first.

We both agreed that this design was not a good one. The information is not formatted well and takes a long time to find. The scrolling can be confusing because the text is limited to the movie screen but controlled by the right side scrolling bar. All the text tends to look the same and it is hard to decipher where you are on the page. It was unpleasant to look at after a few minutes.
There is also little to no defined navigation other than scrolling.
Good Design/css.

This page works very well with simple design and good colors/graphical images. The information is well and simply organized with easy to read headers. The menu is left-side which makes for very easy and comprehensible navigation. All the text is easy to read and well placed/aligned.

Keep in mind that Zen Garden is an exercise in design- form doesn't necessarily follow function in some cases.
I'm not saying I disagree with you, but think of how 99.9% of sites have their design and format inline, vs this example of a mask-like foreground and the content in the background.
In terms of usability, it's not great, but is definitely outside the box when it comes to style.
