He seems like he'd be an amazing guy to hang around with and just talk about things. He's passionate about his work and he seems like a nice guy, really cool.
His movies, on the other hand, are questionable to some (there has to be SOMETHING there otherwise it wouldn't be a thing). Separating the art from the artist is easy. Or at least should be. It seems that most people in this thread at least aren't attacking his character or him as a person (I haven't read every post).
Nah, that's just semantics, when people say they hate something, it can be the same way we say "I hate the cold", "I hate spiders" or "I hate Tom Green". Everybody hates things and they don't need help for that. Have you genuinely never watched a movie before and said "I hated that, there's no way I'd watch it again."? Some movies that are too dark and disturbing fall under that category for me where I had no idea going into them they'd turn out the way they did. My love of Patrick Stewart got me to blind watch "Green Room". Hated it, was not prepared for that, though I don't blame anyone in the film for making it, it's just a personal preference but I would EASILY use the term "hate" for that movie. Easily.
Besides, isn't art (of which movies easily fall under) supposed to bring about strong emotions, and not all of them always positive but sometimes even unsettling?
