Yes, he shirked every opportunity to write meaningful dialogue, develop a character non-gratuitous reasons, or use special effects to further the story. It was all like a child saying "looky what I can do" with my cast, my crew and my red-dyed corn syrup.

Even the scene in question, which I admit on its own merits was entertaining, showed a man playing make-believe doting father and loving husband. I couldn't get past my impatience as a viewer who had to sit through four plus hours of horrendous crap. I just wished we could watch bill die and see the credits roll. So he cut the crust off the sandwich for his daughter and he cared what the truth was coming from Kiddo (of course he had to shoot her with a dart containing something more powerful than sodium pentathol to trust she wouldn't lie). BFD. By that point, the characters were so shallow and repulsive I just wanted it to end.
