A little overrated?


Hey, is it just me or is David Gordon Green just a little overrated? While he's not bad by any means, I'm always hearing people describe him as "brilliant", "beautiful", "Jesus all over again", etc. Granted he's a young guy with quite a bit of talent, but isn't all this a little much? His writing is highly episodic, interspersed with odd, seemingly random footage. (I'm sure there was some deeper meaning to the "Garbage Dump Interlude" in George Washington, but was it really necessary?) Basically, his movies seem like a few well written scenes slapped together in a loose story line. I'm not here trying to act like an ass, I'm just genuinely curious as to why he's so appealing.

I will have to say that I have my own problems with some of the stuff he has done, but over all you can't deny that he is the man. Maybe I am just jealous, any way i am done with putting negative energy into the universe. It only comes back to haunt you. I wish him the best he has already done the impossible. I would like to see one of you do better...
