Years ago, before we knew any of this stuff about him, he was one of my favorites, shooting his first directorial effort (The Man Without a Face) partially on the campus of where I was attending college at the time. I even worked on the set briefly and shook his hand. He was very good at making everybody laugh, and everyone loved him. <br /><br />But man, there comes a certain point where he just can't be forgiven anymore -- a point where if you forgive him, you are endorsing what he's doing/saying. Logically, that point should have been reached with the anti-Semitism he displayed after his drunk driving arrest. But he made such an earnest effort to reach out and atone for his hate speech that I decided I could probably give him one more shot. Now, I just don't think so.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.com
