I wasn't critiquing his filmography, merely pointing out how his more recent films were received. And even if I was, that doesn't change the fact that I empathize deeply with him as an artist and find this situation horrifying. Even if my least favorite filmmaker was murdered I'd still feel the same

His films post-Few Good Men were all critical and commercial flops (except Flipped)

God, he's so close, I can feeeeel it.
