Yeah. I'm kind of pissed off because the IDEA is actually kind of great, but the execution is... eh. I think that's kind of the frustrating thing about him. He's not stupid, and he has some good ideas in there. They just get lost in all the id, and it's like no one will take him aside and tell him he's not making the movie he thinks he's making. I mean, yeah, there's something to be said for standing up for your works, but there's also something to be said for admitting there's a possibility you fucked up.

Also, yeah, Roth doesn't seem to realize when something is done. I know you don't like the Thanksgiving trailer, but I kind of thought it was good at what it was supposed to be -- which was basically just seeing how many times it could cross the line twice in four minutes, but whatever. But then he decided it needed to be made into a full-length movie. Which completely misses the point of the only thing that made the trailer successful, which was cramming all the over the top things in right together to shock you so much you became horrimused. As an actual movie, it wouldn't even be successful at that. (Although it does raise the question of if a filmmaker goes into a movie trying to make a bad movie and the movie is bad, was it successful?)

On the other hand, unlike above comments suggest, he's not actually involved in Hostel 3, afaik?
