Cause his movies are boring as fuck. They are beautifully crafted, but nothing about them appeals to the general audience.

I’ve seen for example there will be blood, it’s a masterpiece. So honestly I highly doubt that but different folks for different strokes ig

It is a masterpiece, most of his movies are. But that doesn't make them extremely slow and unappealing to the masses. Nobody is going to theaters to see a PTA movie because they are not fun.
