What in the name of everything unholy was that supposed to mean? Because they're low budget and non-Hollywood that means they're unwatchable and unentertaining? It just goes to show how closeminded you are, and that you wouldn't know what a real movie was if it came up and bit you in the ass. Big name actors, lots of money, hot bands on the soundtrack, these cause the movie to lose what we call its effectiveness. A film with no name actors and actresses, filmed "as is", makes the film much more realistic and much more believable. And it is quite obvious that somebody cares about the films Todd is making, as it is what has kept him in business for over a decade. You say Todd is intelligent, which he is, but then you go and insult his intelligence by saying how his films lack in talent and creativity, etc. Have you ever seen one of his films? Im guessing not, since you also state that Blockbuster does not carry them (thank god), which obviously means you only care about whats in and whats hip in Hollywood. And once again, I see Todd and his films being connected with problems in kids. First of all, who says that his films are made for kids? Any parent whose child orders or buys his films and manages to watch them in their home, going unnoticed, obviously dictates that parents lack of ability to in fact BE a parent. Take for instance the ordeal over the Pokemon plastic toy cases, in which a 4 month old child choked to death on a toy that was clearly labeled for ages 3 and up. Whatever parent gave their 4 MONTH OLD child a toy that was marked for children 3 AND UP should be prosecuted for endagering a child. They have no right parenting any other children after their ignorant actions, and in a way, deserved to have their child taken from them. It's just too bad it had to happen in the way it did, i.e. death. The point of this matter is, you can not put blame on Todd and his movies for having an effect on children, when the parents should keep them from obtaining his films if they feel the way you do. Horror films and music and such do not incite violence, ignorance and lack of education does. Todd makes films with little money because he enjoys doing so. And his fans, which are many by the way, enjoy watching, and in some cases, being a part of his films. You will never find another director who is so involved with his fan base and continues to do what he does just for them, because he is one himself. He does not sell out to the corporate gods, making big budget movies that you can find in Blockbuster, because he and the people he does this for don't see that as a necessity, as people like you do. Todd maintains his dignity, his passion for making films, and most importantly of all, the respect and loyalty of his fans. And that my friend, in the end, is all that really matters.
