You shouldn't have let him off the hook without ripping into him about his hissy fit when no one went to see Hostel 2 and he said if no one saw his movie, no one would ever mark R-horror again. Then he said he'd never make a movie again. Then he said if you like him, better see it, because he won't be working for awhile and it's your last chance - egoism.
Also, if he's so into trying stuff new and bettering himself and challenging himself why hasn't he actually done that yet? Hostel II is basically a remake of Hostel. It's not so much a sequel rather than the same ol. Empire Strikes Back was a sequel. Even the Friday the 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street movies advanced the stories more. And when he talks about stuff he always is like "I want to make a movie like _________ but that has my spin on it." Blah. He's going to turn into a rip-off artist just like Tarantino.
