Hello followers of all things Smith!
After only recently discovering the chatboard and having my university exam finals i have not been able to keep up to speed on the viewaskewniverse.
I have read with delight that VA 5 tseted positive for fun and frolics at the San Diego screen test. I see that people have been spending the past week celebrating the fact that Kevin will finally be recieving the critical and general public praise that he has been waiting for.
I say waiting as it was always going to be a matter of time before the public gets board of the mind numbing action and Pearl Tanic flicks. I am looking forward to the fact that it will not just be me and my friends enjoying the antics of Mr Smith's wonderful creations here in the U.K.
I believe that if the film is as successful as the screening suggests there will be criticism and shouts of "sellout!!" from zealots who live in their own reallity of what Kevin's films should be about. I haven't see the film and living in the UK i probably won't until next year but i know one thing it won't be a sell out. Success as we all know doesn't mean selling out it means that people are starting to come around to Kevin's way of making life that much easier to cope with through the medium of film.
The always overstating Spunkysailor!
