This week's film maker topic? Victor Salva.
What do you think of him? Is he a disgusting human being? Does he deserve to be in jail? Discuss.

Why are you picking directors where you clearly have an agenda Spirit Bomb? This guy us barely worth mentioning if we talk about his movies.

Yeah, I'll just stick to the film making part of this thread.
Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2 are two of my favorite horror movies, I love the creeper, it's a great and underrated movie monster in my opinion, the theme song the creeper has is a good song originally but in the context of the movies it became a favorite of mine and I catch myself singing on it quite often, I love the story and acting in the first movie especially, Justin Long does a fantastic job for such an early role in his career (he'd only been in Galaxy Quest, where he also did a great job, and Happy Campers, which I don't think I've seen but I'm willing to bet he probably delivered in that one as well), the truck the creeper drives is one of my favorite movie vehicles as well, easily up there with the Batmobiles, James Bond's many cars, the DeLorean time machine, the "monster" trucks from Monster Trucks and the many cars from the Death Race and Mad Max movies.
Sadly the new third movie that came out last year was made by other people, it supposedly takes place between the events of the original two movies, I still wanna see it but I highly doubt it's any good.
The good news is that all three movies are available on youtube with english voices atm so anyone can take a peek if interested, I might just check out the third one and see just how much worse it is, but I need to rewatch the first two again to have them as fresh in mind as possible for an as accurate as possible comparison of the drop in quality.

He directed Powder, Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2, and sexually molested a kid early in his career, after which he went on to direct Hollywood movies. Basically he's proof that Hollywood is perfectly ok with employing pedophiles.

But speaking in general, just because you hear something on the news, social media, or on YouTube, it doesn't mean is true. Just because someone has a testimony it doesn't mean they don't have other motives behind it. Let's not execute people like some kind of modern witch hunt. No body knows what happens except the people involved. I imagine that if people say things is because some of those things happen, I'm not naive to deny that. But that said, no one can't judge anyone because no one knows what happens in other people's shoes, we really don't know who is innocent and who is guilty in today's world where many things happen with ulterior motives. We may judge people's work, people's movies, maybe we like them, maybe not, but we can't judge the person behind them because we can never be certain of anything.

It's just about the controversial side of him. If you're going to continue having your unofficial weekly discussions, can't they at least be relevant instead of pushing an agenda or being a PSA?

It's more relevant now than ever. Just look at the recent happenings at Nickelodeon involving pedophilia; Dan Schnider was recently fired and John K. was accused of having sex with underage girls.Imagine if this happened to you as a kid. It would prematurely destroy your sexuality for life, as well as traumatize you.Just because you care more about film than I do doesn't mean I have to make threads catering to you. This is a problem that has been going on in Hollywood for eons and it needs to stop.With that said, I do think I went a bit overboard in my OP and didn't have a neutral stance like I should have.Take 2: Why should I make threads catering to you specifically? How do you know the other people on this pub would rather discuss film than world issues? Besides, I never said we couldn't talk about his films. What's wrong with discussing multiple aspects of his life?

What's wrong with discussing multiple aspects of his life? I bet most people care for the movie aspect, not his political or world views,nor his controversial actions. Hell, put up a poll for it and you'll see that you're just catering to yourself.
