Listening to David Lowery talk about film makes me understand why I very much dislike him as a director. And why I, for the most part, very much like David Gordon Green. To hear Green talk about his movies, it feels natural. He genuinely feels like somebody who actually lived in the worlds that he creates. David Lowery, much like his movies, is a whole lot of hot air and polysyllabic text over instagrams. In short, he seems like a guy who uses the word 'profound' with that air self-important over-emphasis, when talking about movies he's watched. Like the type of guy who wants to discuss movies over a coffee with five words in its name. - @Friday, September 8, 2017 12:03 PM

Outstanding film. It's in my Top 10 movies from 2000. Which is a very strong year in retrospect. http://www.imdb.com/list/ls063548737/ - @Friday, August 4, 2017 2:22 AM

I too saw the influences of Days of Heaven on George Washington the first time I saw it. I feel like George Washington then had a direct and obvious influence on Beasts of the Southern Wild also. Good video. Great series. Speaking of series. Please make playlists for the different series: Under the Influence, Closet Picks, et al. Navigating the channel to find older content could be eased with playlists that are current and kept updated. Right now, the playlists that do exist are missing a lot of previously posted content. 😬 - @Tuesday, August 1, 2017 8:29 PM

David Gordon Green, director of such fine films as The Sitter, Your Highness, and Pineapple Express. Don't know how he managed to accomplish such a great film. - @Tuesday, August 1, 2017 3:53 PM

Ain't Them Bodies Saints & A Ghost Story Criterion maybe? That would be spectacular. - @Tuesday, August 1, 2017 3:31 PM
