Im a fan, always like his movies.

I think they are all nuts and i look forward to beating them and stealing their reservoirs in the post apocalyptic wasteland

I have never understood the hatred. He's never done a movie that I really despised. Lady in the Water is the only one that I didn't even get into. I thought The Village was a GREAT movie and I even liked The Happening!

I mean, is this really necessary:

In what sense?

That they're gointo try and get back winnings and sponsorship money years after the fact. They've made their money off him. If I had a bunch of Lance gear, Nike sure as hell wouldn't be refunding me.

Didnt we discuss this like literally a month ago.

Btw Signs is the worst movie ever made.

Well I can see the positive in the base concept and the value of it. But like I said some of these people take the shit to such an extreme that you have to wonder if they aren't mentally unsound in a very dangerous way. Having a few rifles and pistols and shit for hunting game is one thing, but some of these dudes have big lockers stocked to the brim with AR's and enough ammo to re-enact every scene in Red Dawn, and that's fucking scary. As if the world wouldn't be dangerous enough in a dystopian style setting without these militants with arsenals that would make John Rambo jizz in his fatigues.

What I got from this. Ludo is afraid of guns.

That's true. I agree with you. Like you say, it was a mutually beneficial thing. It's not like they sponsored Lance just to be nice.

Did we? I dunno. Well I listened to a podcast about the "Shyamalan Hate" phenomenon yesterday, so it seemed like a good time to bring it back up.

I'll tell you another director who is undeserving of the hatred he gets: Brett Ratner. Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, The Family Man and Red Dragon were all good movies.

False. In fact, I'm sure that can be scientifically proven to be incorrect.

Jon Voight says fuck Obama!

Oh cool, I'm glad Jon Voight, an actor, is arrogant enough to think anyone cares about
his political opinions.

I'm always interested in Hollywood conservatives. There just aren't that many of them and I have to assume that they catch a lot of shit for their beliefs in their profession.

I dunno, I thought we were arguing about m night not too long ago.

Yeah Brett Ratner did Rush Hour, but he also did X-men 3 so...
and I didn't realize he gets hated on anyway.

True enough.

I guess he's old and doesn't give a shit.

Another Hollywood figure who gets too much hate: Nicolas Cage!

Granted, he takes ANY role he's offered, but when he's good, he's great.

The Rock, Face Off, The Family Man, National Treasure, The Weather Man, Adaptation, Kick Ass . . . all great performances.

I don't even give a shit about the X-Men Franchise so X3 doesn't bother me. In fact, I'm actually not even sure if I've seen it.

But yes, he gets hated on. People call him a hack and a director of paint-by-numbers "McMovies."
