I've just been informed that a movie called Joe Dirt 2 is coming out next week. I have no understanding of humanity at all.

Last night I had a dream that I made a horror movie called House of the Flying Houses. There were no houses in the movie (it takes places on a boat). It was really good though.

Why? I don't see anything about the approach of an inventive minimalist who does not differentiate between fiction and reality, distance and intimacy, or abstraction and concrete storytelling that remotely overlaps with your aesthetic preference.

I get all that out of his movies, but it seems rather superficial to me. What is the larger insight any of that is providing? What genuine profundity or depth is it offering? It's structurally interesting, but I don't think any of what I've seen from him has gone much deeper than that.
