Only one thing is sure, making a movie is very very difficult. Being an artist, I always try to appreciate the value of even the most insipid flick. People gave up a year or more of their lives in the hopes their efforts would entertain us. You’d have to read a few scathing reviews of your own work to fully appreciate this.
For an unlikely reference, here’s a quote from the fictional Anton Ego, from the amazing Pixar film Ratatouille:

“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends…”

I want to see his take on Jane Eyre, Mrs Havelock and Jasper Fforde’s Tuesday Next.

His work does seem to draw on Mr Sienkowicz and that last character is surely Sarah Palin, not the Baroness! (Was she a baddy by the way?)
