The problem isn't that David Gordon Green isn't making films in the same vein as 'George Washington' anymore. The problem is that his recent work has been lazily produced, poorly executed & unmotivated pieces of shit. How anyone can look at works like 'Your Highness' & 'The Sitter' & say Green even had his mind on set is beyond me.

It doesn't seem at all reasonable or accurate to describe what Green has done as "moving on." He wrote the scripts to the first four features he directed, and it showed. They were personal films. His last three films have been completely impersonal journeyman paycheck films, mostly written by his buddies, for the fratboy set. Under no metric could switching from genuine auteur pieces to sub-National-Lampoon "anarchic comedies" that you didn't personally develop be considered a step forward. It's devolution.

Looks like he's following a similar path to Richard Linklater really with the choices he's making. He'll always be hit-and-miss but what falls in the "hit" category is likely to be really good.

Greene back in the fields and open plains with Tim Orr? I'm pro that, regardless of the source. Please Sony allow long takes!

David Gordon Green picks projects by consulting the I Ching also a dart board and a blindfold.
