Dare I even speak his name around these parts? He may just come on here and start shilling. I'll go with untalented asshole on this one, with emphasis on the "asshole" part. Previous results:Director | % Talent | Votes | John Carpenter | 100% Talent | 7-0 | Jesus Franco | 50% Talent | 3-3 | Roger Corman | 40% Talent | 2-3 |

Even though it will ruin the %, I'd go with neutral if there was such an option.

Bad James... what made you go to Palumbo so soon in Talent of Not? Or at all for that matter?
Trolling aside, and just speaking on his 'talent' (and that may be the wrong word... so let's try a simply technical level) it's lacking. Not just lacking, but non-existent. Framing, blocking, editing, dealing with 'actors' (using the term loosely, M-S-P's cast was bad but that's not an excuse for not having the performances jive in some way) ... he should at least have basic grasps of these. I've seen middle school kids produce better quality films (I'm going to assure you that there is absolutely no sarcasm in that statement). I could go on... but won't. It's sad really, he's from my hometown (D.C.) and I like to see locals succeed. But I know Palumbo never will... and he won't go away for years still. Hurting the rest of the D.C. indie film scene. By the way have you seen his website? It takes less than three seconds before he calls himself 'visionary' 'cutting edge' and 'controversial'.

All I really have to go on is Murder-Set-Pieces, so I'll go with untalented asshole. I think he's gotten way more attention and hate than he would have because of the whole shilling thing. If none of this had ever happened, then he'd be just another no-name DTV horror director. Judging him without all that though, I'll lean towards the "nay" on the vote.

Never seen any of his stuff, but from his constant shilling I have to say he's a annoying douche who enjoys gay feces burgers.
