I simply can't agree with that. Oh, I have no problem laying off George as a person. But as an artist and a businessman, I continue to hold him in complete contempt. Not possessing the type of mind to adequately create the art that so much intense effort and money went into ... well, there's no excuse for that on an artistic or business level.

If he had failed at a finger painting, I could willingly sluff it off as the artist having a bad day, or not the type of mind to dabble in digit art. But multi-million dollar motion pictures involving countless manhours of thousands of artisans, as follow-ups or purported enhancements to some of the most world-renowned and near-universally-beloved films ever created .... well, I cannot and will not excuse a sloppy mind for botching that so horribly.

It's his right to do it, of course. But just because a thing can be done doesn't mean it necessarily should be done. Many a man has failed to make that distinction. But rather than give George a pass for succumbing to what so many before him have succumbed to, I hold him in the same disdain as I do those whom he will join in the 13th circle of despicably bad judgment hell.
