Orson Welles Was Not Impressed With Jean-Luc Godard

Today in iconic filmmakers backhanding other iconic filmmakers, this quote from Orson Welles about Jean-Luc Godard: "His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can't take him very seriously as a thinker -- and that's where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin." Burn. To be fair, Welles was a lot nicer than David Cronenberg was about M. Night Shyamalan. "I HATE that guy!" Flavorwire has 28 other directors-hating-directors quotes for you to enjoy. [Flavorwire]
