re: What the hell happened to Terrence Malick?

He's just not a good director and is completely incapable of storytelling.

well Americans are biased towards storytelling

i fully admit my bias

If all you want to do is make pretty moving pictures that only hint at something, essentially be a painter with a camera, wonderful. Don't be surprised when your two hour moving painting bores the audience to tears and they only view it for a short period of time before moving on to another moving painting.

i fully agree, but it doesn't mean the director isn't good/great or the product wasn't either
