: Kevin,
: How do you think the critics will respond to the new flick? As it is a "Balls to the wall" Mallrats style comedy, do you think Ebert and co. will prejudge it as a 'step in the wrong direction'?
: You know that everyone on this board is going to love the film, the trailer has proved that (I fuckin' loved it by the way) but do you think that the cinema-going public will appreciate it for what I, for one, believe it is going to be or will Ebert put the thought in everyones heads that this was "made by the guy responsible for Mallrats" and thus affect the ticket sales for what promises to be your best offering yet.

: In case you misunderstood, I LOVE Mallrats - me more than most.
