I don't love him, but I do like him. Yeah. I've read White Noise, Libra, Mao II and Cosmopolis. He's a strange figure for me though. I laugh both with him and at him.Version was on my side all along?!

Yeah Tree of Life doesn't even get hold of you enough to bore.I agree with Rich re: Malick. I like Badlands and bits of The Thin Red Line, but I'm never in the mood to watch them and The Tree of Life really tested my patience. He's as much a parody of himself as Herzog is at this point, just without the awareness and humour.
He's no Zulawski thoughMalick's eye is spontaneous, restless, living, moving.

It's so empty though... on the surface it looks like Tarkovsky but it really aint.Tree of Life is a mixed-bag I'll admit, but most of the objections seem like "boring," I dunno man maybe go smoke a joint?
No way. Zulawski no energy? I've NEVER heard anyone say that. Cos it would be silly.I've seen like every one of these cuts in a million movies before, their movement is exactly what you'd expect. There's no sensibility, no energy, just movement.
Have you seen his other stuff?What little time I have has now been extended to rewatch this again. Ta for the heads up.
I hesitated to include it with his first three because, as I said, it's where he begins to tip into self-parodybut I cannot believe anyone would seriously defend The New World
Have you seen the films?
And there was me hoping to browbeat you into submission...of course if someone thinks its boring and terrible, that's fine
but I'm also not cowed by your amazement that someone should disagree with you, Rich
