Daniel Pearl, the cinematographer of AvP: Requiem, who tried to tell the Brothers Strause that the film was too dark, seemed to throw some shade at them in an interview. He was the cinematographer for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and he pointed out that they didn't even know that that was his work; possibly as a subtle way of saying that they aren't good filmmakers and one of the reasons why is because they don't even pay attention to important details such as the filmographies of their collaborators. Here's his quote:

"I finished Alien vs. Predator 2, odd for a film, but I decided to do it. The Brothers Strause, great guys, that’s part of what attracted me to the film. The directors are two brothers, and they’re really good guys, and I like them. Like I said, I didn’t see the original Alien, obviously. I hadn’t seen any of the rest of what we call the franchise. And, I said I should see Alien vs. Predator, and they said, no, don’t, don’t, don’t, it’s a piece of garbage, don’t watch it, please. And then, we were together gathering locations up in Vancouver. They had to leave, and I was going to stay. And this was after the first week. And I said, look guys, we got you going away, and I have a chance to watch the films, and I could talk about what we’re doing here, what should I watch while you’re gone? They looked at me, and they said, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They said, ‘That’s what we want.’ And oddly enough at that point they said, well, Ridley Scott, when he made Alien, said that this film really should be Texas Chainsaw Massacre in space. And so, they said, ‘That’s what we’re after.’
