Talk:Eli Roth

message: I added a picture. It's fair-use and of good quality for its purpose. I also added a link to his official, semi-frequently updated MySpace account. Exist2inspire 01:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: In addition to the added picture I mentioned above, I decided to be bold (since the article looked very poorly organized, in my opinion) and give the article a facelift, adding in different sections for different things. Since by the looks of the discussion page nobody seems to be putting a lot of work into the article I figured I would take it upon myself to organize it. It's my first ever attempt at actually completely re-organizing an article, so if it's unsatisfactory feel free to improve it.
Note that no content was removed, it was just re-structured and, if the re-structuring called for it, re-worded to make sense. Exist2inspire 02:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Overhaul 

message: "back when only doctors and scientists were on the internet"?  badly phrased and not particularly NPOV. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.92.68.224 (talk) 16:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  regarding the trivia section 

message: Did Eli Roth's publicist write this?  This thing is so skewed, I wonder if that is the case.  Take this excerpt, for example:
"Prior to "Hostel II", all of Roth's films were considered extremely profitable, making him one of the most bankable directors working in Hollywood.  He's also one of the few directors whose films are sold with his name above the title, and has been a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Howard Stern Show," and "Late Night With Conan O'Brien.""
As a way of softening the implications of "Hostel II" being a total flop, this writer mentions "ALL OF ROTH'S FILMS"--you mean ALL 2?  Why not just say "Roth's two earlier films"?  Because "all of Roth's films" makes him sound prolific, when he's certainly not.
In the next part of this excerpt, the author moves from one unrelated point to another:
"He's also one of the few directors whose films are sold with his name above the title, and has been a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Howard Stern Show," and "Late Night With Conan O'Brien.""
What does top billing have to do with appearances on those late night shows?  NOTHING.
These are just two examples of the outrageously tilted rhetoric in this article. 
Someone sanitize this article from its obvious biases, please.  If not, I'll have to do it.

replies: text: Maybe you are making far too much out of this?? You certainly can not disagree with any of those above statement being wrong. Rather instead you are taking an additional spin on the words that isn't innately there, and which you are disagreeing with. Mathmo Talk 09:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Nah, he's just right - this whole article reads like a potted life history with all the bad stuff left out (meaning all the justifiable criticism of his films, for one thing). The whole article should be erased.Smorguss (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

A good source for his psychotic character and racial hatred can be found in an interview with him is http://www.jewishjournal.com/cover_story/article/eli_roth_fuels_basterds_role_with_holocaust_fury_20090818/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.185.212.53 (talk) 12:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article reads like a press release 

message: I removed this. It's original research at best and pov at worst. There are numerous directors and films that could claim this. For example, a lot of people would argue that the success of Saw paved the way for the R horror, and there's probably more evidence that Saw had a bigger influence and impact on the genre than Hostel did.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 17:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "...re-igniting the horror genre and bringing back the R rated horror film" 

message: He seems to have remarried, he talked about his wife (not ex-wife) on the Tigerbelly podcast. But it seems to be be not very public. I guess it lacks "reputable" sources that is a joke on WikiPedia anyway. 95.90.187.52 (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personal Life Section? 

message: It's completely pointless. All it tells us is that six actors were in Hostel</I> and Hostel II, which, isn't all that noteworthy when you consider one is a sequel of the other. And even then, on further reading it appears most of these are "Flashback cameos".82.45.134.2 (talk) 11:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It also points out actors in Cabin Fever and the upcoming Thanksgiving, so it IS necessary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.127.133 (talk) 06:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Upcoming Thanksgiving says "possible upcoming role" with no citations. Completely pointless, needs to go. Will delete unless there are any valid objections. Feudonym (talk) 03:41, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
