[vhs vs dvd sales and movie theater hate? ] So fsxNet's got this thread about old media sales and the dark side of filmmaking. Adept is throwing out some wild stuff, talking about VHS versus early DVD sales timing, which is a bit of a head-scratcher since DVDs were more common for newer releases. Then there's this whole angle about hating on filmmakers, which got me thinking: how much does personal dislike color your view of someone's work?

It's pretty meta. I'm curious if anyone else has seen this pattern--loving a movie but disliking the filmmaker or vice versa. And what about buying movies from people you don't like just to spite them? That sounds like a weird hobby, but I guess it could be an interesting way of supporting independent cinema by voting with your wallet.

What's your take on these tangents in media consumption and personal biases affecting art appreciation?
