Ah, but I said something very different than that. I said:Voronwë the Faithful wrote:This is a much more reasonable opinion than "Jackson is a very bad filmmaker." I probably would come very close to expressing almost the same opinion myself. But that is beside the point. The point is that, while this is still a completely subjective opinion, it is a defensible one. The original "Jackson is a very bad filmmaker" statement is, in my opinion, indefensible hyperbole.Passdagas the Brown wrote:In my view, they are just a few artists, with above-average skill at getting movies made. I do not treat them as gods, or as extraordinary filmmakers. I believe there are lots of writers and filmmakers who could have produced a much more compelling, and just as lucrative, version of LOTR and the Hobbit.
To me - from my perspective - he doesn't make good films - even the kind of film he seems interested in making. Your version is indefensible hyperbole, while mine is defensible personal opinion.To me, PJ is a really bad filmmaker,
And believing that they have 'above average skill at getting movies made' does not imply that I think PBJ make good films. It's just that they seem to be good at getting films made...
