I didn' t know who he was before you people started bitching about him either. I don' t care about directors, they' re unimportant. Tarantino, Scorsese and Spielberg are the only ones that make a difference. In any other case the actors, script and budget matter far more.

I could see how you might have that impression if you only ever watch blockbuster mainstream movies, but... you' d still be wrong.

And Rampage99 was one of them and/or supports this. Notice how he hasn' t replied to this thread, yet he usually replies to 99% of them.

I would' ve walked out. His movies are trash in every sense of the world, and he simply isn' t funny, no matter how offensive his subject material may become.

Why would I go to a free showing of a Uwe Boll movie to start with? I won' t want that garbage regardless of the subject matter.

As a student of acting and actor myself, I can tell you that we are actually the least important part in a film/production. Sure, actors like Johnny Depp, Peter O' Toole, Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins and more definitely give a flair to their characters that is not easily achieved by others. But there are millions of unemployed actors out there, some that have real talent (more so than many of the lead, yet poor mainstream actors you see now at days), yet do not have the connections (and luck) that many of the mainstream actors have had. Talented actors are out there by the buckets. A director that actually has talent (and the ability to lead a group) are few and far between.

As far as the director, he is easily the most important part in a production (by production, I am only referring as bringing the script to the envisioned idea, not getting into the actual fundraising and such business things that a producer must deal with). It doesn' t matter how good your actors, script and staff are if the man running the show isn' t talented. I have seen many productions with incredible actors being brought down due to the ineptitude of the director. And having actually directed a show myself, I can tell you that a director' s job is far more than just telling someone what to do and how to do it.
