He's also the piece of shit behind Jeepers Creepers which is why despite them being okay horror movies nobody brings them up anymore

Francis Ford Coppola also backed this guy and told the kid who was abused that he'd "never work in the industry again." The more you read into this, the worse it gets.

Wow, from a Jeepers Creepers 3 review:

Addie is a brooding pool of sadness, presumably due to a combination of abject poverty and what can only be called tasteless, cursory allusions to a history of sexual abuse at the hands of her step-father. (One particularly odious character even goes so far as to remark, "Can you blame the step-dad though? I mean look at her. The heart wants what it wants, am I right?")

Well, shit, I never heard of any of this. Was literally going to watch Jeepers Creepers tonight, but fuck that.

He also did Powder.

Were you going to watch keepers creepers before you read this? Or had to been reminded of the movie by the post and decided to watch it until you realized how bad the situation was?

[-] havokdj@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

You did... read what they wrote, right?

[+] Polydextrous@lemmy.world -10 points 1 year ago

I mean, they easily could’ve read keepers creepers on the list, and thought “I used to love that movie, I need to watch it” until hearing more. Did you…read what I wrote?

Them:

You:

They did not hear about it. Your comment implied they knew about it and decided they were going to watch it anyways.

Spell it right dummy you're not helping your case. That's twice now.

[-] Polydextrous@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Lol spellcheck tends to do the same thing to made-up words. What a stupid reason to be a dick

[-] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your spelling and reading comprehension issues appear to be intertwined.

[-] Polydextrous@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You jumped into a conversation between two people to be a dick over a misunderstanding. My reading comprehension and the fact that spell check doesn’t recognize the word “jeepers” are not the issues that need discussing.

Find something better to do with your life. Also, just stop being a dick. It’s entirely unwarranted. All you’re doing is making the world a little shittier for other people so…you can feel superior? Yeah, I just double checked. That makes you a dick.

So…stop being a dick.

You still here? Shut the fuck up already.

[-] Polydextrous@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

You should try to find out what’s making you so angry. Because it sure wasn’t me having a misunderstanding with someone that wasn’t you. This isn’t healthy behavior.
