Exactly. A smug, stupid man who makes shallow movies that show contempt for moviegoers' intelligence. And I'm including The Patriot, which was well-acted, but was hampered by a cliche-filled script by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan), and Emmerich's always heavy-handed direction.

I've always remained silent in Patriot threads because I found it to be a very unsatisfying B movie.

Flame suit on.
