So it's from when he did that Zooey Deschanel movie that nobody saw. Also didn't know he did The Sitter as well.

David Gordon Green takes the cake in recent years for the director with the most squandered potential.
George Washington was really good.
All The Real Girls was really good.
Undertow was good.
Snow Angels was ok.
Pineapple Express was ok.
Your Highness was terrible
The Sitter was terrible.
He currently has a film in the can and is filming another. These 2 films will really say a lot about whether or not I have any interest whatsoever in watching a David Gordon Green helmed remake of Suspiria. It's gonna take a lot for that to be anything but a terrible idea.

10. Spike Lee on Quentin Tarantino (and the “n-word” in his scripts):
“I’m not against the word, and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But, Quentin is infatuated with that word. What does he want to be made — an honorary black man?”
Does Spike really think he speaks for the whole African race or something?
18. Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):
“Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I would especially never read anything created by Kevin Smith.”
19. Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):
“Which, to me, explains fucking Batman.”
Said the man who can't get a single comic book movie off the ground. HAH!
20. Kevin Smith on Paul Thomas Anderson (specifically, Magnolia):
“I’ll never watch it again, but I will keep it. I’ll keep it right on my desk, as a constant reminder that a bloated sense of self-importance is the most unattractive quality in a person or their work.”
Said the man who made Red State, and wanted to make Goon a two movie deal.
