Take the following as truth: Directors of violent genre pieces like Craven (who got this mainstream gig in return for doing the Scream sequels) or Carl Franklin or Sam Raimi sometimes want so badly to belong to Establishment Hollywood--to go to the Academy Awards--that they neuter themselves.
Then the following statement: "Fans often lose respect for directors reduce shock value so that they can be more accepted by the Establishment. " is true, false, or inconclusive?
