"Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film."

Ha ha... Hal Hartley:
"I used to co-own a video store and we had a “respected American directors” section. Hal Hartley was not in it. People wearing untucked dress shirts would always ask me why he was not in that section, and I would reply “Because we don’t respect him, his movies are over here with the Mike Leigh and Atom Egoyan stuff”."
From Chunklet's The Most Overrated Indie/Underground/Art Filmmakers of All Time! Yeah, the Chunklet dudes can be know it all pricks, but at least when the guy disses Godard, he urges the clueless hipster to watch Robert Bresson instead!
