: It would be a waste of time to have fans at the screening. What they
really need to do is find out if non-fans are going to like it.
it makes sense to have both groups there... the newbies and the
moldies. if the movie was geared towards those who aren't all that
askewed then i'd say "sure"... but since there are so many in-jokes,
it'd be important to see what the people who are *supposed* to get
them think...
i'm sure a screening for a bunch o' people who have seen all his
films would be VERY useful anyway... we're the ones most likely to
remember all the jokes and fill in the review cards well...
yes, we're biased, but that doesn't mean we won't say a joke is crap if
that's what we think....
know what i mean?
it's not like we're all WOOHOO!!!!! screaming and loud... we're the
quiet types who only laugh ouit loud if a joke warrants it...
or maybe i'm just talking out of my ass.
