So therefore we should respect a rapist for not stopping when he is begged to?...
I can dig that logic.
Uwe Boll still needs to die though. The sad thing is, if he were to focus on more shit like Postal, you know, run of the mill mindless shitty laugh fests, then I honestly think he would do well.
Take a look at the "Scary Movie" people and all the crap they put out.
That's an excellent rhetorical fallacy you open with.
I think, perhaps, the man would make a stellar producer - I just wouldn't give him any creative control. He knows how to wrangle money and talent(in spite of his constant failure he STILL gets money somehow, and manages to pay some fairly big names to be in his movies), he knows how to wrap and distribute. The one thing he doesn't have is a clue as to how to make a movie.
It doesn't help that he has only worked with video games since it appears the best anyone can do with a game to movie translation is making something that is simply "okay".
Besides, I'll just point to my dead chum - former President Theodore Roosevelt:
"It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat"
Now, if he would just have his name attached to something that wasn't terrible for once in his career, there might be an inspiring lesson to be learned.
