I liked the first Jeepers Creepers movie. Then I heard about his past and how he’s a convicted child molester. However, I still wanted to see the second movie in the series, and I have to admit I enjoyed it and think he’s got talent. Now I feel guilty about having put money in his pocket. Should I?
I’m more than a little drunk and tired, so any mod who wants to move this can. I actually felt like I needed a drink to watch the film anyway.

He did his time. Isn’t it better that an ex-con becomes a productive member of society after doing time, by doing what he knows what to do, than to become a drain on society?

I’m pretty sure a boycott of his movies isn’t part of his punishment.

I don’t have problems seeing or paying for his movies (not that I have any desire to – not my thing). He’s done his time and as long as he stays away from kids, I don’t see the point of continuing to boycott him.
I did like **Powder** , FWIW.

Hmmm…that was part of my thinking too. There’s a commentary with him and some of the cast that I wanted to watch (I like commentaries) but somehow just seeing him creeped me out. I guess I need to get past his past offenses, huh?
