I will always be amazed with uwe boll..

I typically ignore all the directors/actors and their crimes, immoral behaviors, political beliefs, etc...
I love Mel Gibson's movies but think he is genuinely fucked in the head with his fanatical religous beliefs and his hatred of the Jews. But I love his movies, so I watch them anyway. |
I've been known to totally avoid certain films because of something like this. And on the flipside, if a movie is made by someone I think is cool, I'll go out of my way to advocate it.

Some of the greatest art comes from assholes. Picasso was a horrible person. I have no difficulty whatsoever separating the art from the artist.
If you hate a film because you think the director/writer/producer/actor involved is a scumbag does that mean you'd like a movie because the one who made it was a really swell guy? No, you judge the art on its merits. The creation of art in any medium is an act of arrogance. It is an expression of one's belief that what they have to say is valid and deserves to be seen/heard. It takes a steadfast assertion that "I am right, I am justified in thinking and acting the way I do" in order to see a work to completion. So it comes as no surprise to me when this same type of person follows one of their darker impulses with the same conviction of "I am right, I am justified in thinking and acting the way I do." It is miraculous to me that so many people who pursue their passion to create are still fine and decent people. The percentage of true mutherfuckers in art and entertainment is relatively small. |
Oh, I love avoiding things created by real jerks, though! It makes me happy.

No, actually, I wasn't really that serious. There's a lot of good movies made by farging bastidges, and I watch those too ;)
