I told y'all he was a hack. His own words now confirmed it.
“Frankly, I hate dialogue,” the filmmaker told the publication. “Dialogue is for theatre and television. I don’t remember movies because of a good line, I remember movies because of a strong image. I’m not interested in dialogue at all. Pure image and sound, that is the power of cinema, but it is something not obvious when you watch movies today. Movies have been corrupted by television.”
There you have it. He's one of those hacks who think your characters aren't supposed to ever talk. One of those hacks who tell you watch boring "visual masterpieces" like Stalker and Avatar. One of those hacks who stare at random globs of paint on a piece of paper before purchasing it for 2,000 dollars.
From the way Dune 2 is sounding, it's the same ol' gimmick. share
