yeah on one hand you gotta give him credit for his amazing volume of work. the Fridays, the Creepshow, Maniac, the \'of the dead\', movies, the fact that he was in \'Nam, he\'s got such an amazing life story and body of work. He\'s so accomplished and has done so much cool and groundbreaking stuff. By all rights he should be such an awesome guy to hang out with and talk to,....
...but sadly like what was said, these days he seems to be extremely full of himself and quite an a$$hole.
I heard his involvment in the Friday boxset hinged upon him being able to insert a \'commercial\' for his FX school in the boxset as well. And his attitude of, "people still applaud those effects to this day." and stuff like that.
He\'s living on yesterdays accomplishments. Though then again, I guess the advent of CGI really probably put an abrupt halt to his style of movie making.
Shame though, I honestly prefer the old school ways to the CGI stuff.
