Good for del Toro. I'm glad that there are a few directors with their heads on straight in the business...unfortunately, it sounded like the execs needed to be fired.

Del Toro's the man. We need more directors like him. Directors who stay true to a project.

Nice to see a material purist is out there and able to say no to the money grubbing whores who have no respect for the content which made them who they are.

You want a toad that rides a skateboard and says gnarly stuff go buy a box of Honey Smacks...
