Oh my god are you fucking serious? Calling him a sellout is not just an insult, its just sad to see that you really dont know what you're talking about. And oh I'm sorry, have you already seen The Dark Knight and can give us an opinion comparing it to Batman Begins? Didn't think so. And Kershner must have made Empire for the money too right? That's what drew him in? Because no way he didn't have hesitation at first in that he he might ruin a franchise huh?

Also, once again, with the exception of the easy, obvious movies of the last thirty years, you're incapable of going past the 90s. See. More. Movies.

Read: Eddie Murphy from the Nutty Professor forward, or Uwe Boll from, well, everything. If you're only in it for the money, then you've just sold out. If you're trying something different, then you're pushing yourself as an artist. A commercial movie does not a sellout make. I mean, I for one would never call someone like Steven Spielberg a sellout just for making Jurassic Park.

No filmmaker is simply one thing. Trying to type-cast an artist is ignorant and foolish.
