: Kevin's shown an INSANE devotion to his friends. Half the New Jersey premiere of Chasing Amy from people from this board, for Christ's sake. He's organized multiple film festivals for his friends, in his hometown, for an amazingly small pittance... and when there were so many people last time around that couldn't get in? He doubled the length! He never skimps on DVD bonuses, always does his damnedest to get as much material out to the viewers. He tours the country, talking to colleges and comic book shows, when he could be at home in Jersey or L.A. with his beautiful wife and daughter, making a lot more money polishing scripts or having a lot more fun doing small acting bits.
Um...HORSE SHIT. FUCKING HORSE SHIT. The film festivals...he makes bank. The DVD bonuses? He makes bank for doing them, and then people buy more DVDs and he makes more bank. Tours the country? He makes MAJOR bank for that. I saw Janene Garafolo do a college tour tonight, and she made over $25k for two hours work. Kev's all about the money these days, and he fucked the fans out of their money.
:What more do you fucking want?
Kevin to keep his word...for once.
: He made a small poster offer... and he never said that they were going to come on any sort of timetable, he was upfront in saying he had more pressing projects first.
Fine, but you seem to forget Jersey Girl was pushed back several months due to the filming of Daredevil. But yet we're still not Kev's priority.
: And after all the amazing shit Kevin has done and continues to do, YOU'RE getting pissed over a three-dollar autographed poster taking some time to get to you because Kevin's in post on what looks to be a fucking AMAZING new movie?
Yo, fan-boy, get your head out of your ass. Jersey girl MAY be an "AMAZING new movie" and it may be a pile of dog shit. IMHO, the last "Amazing movie" by Kevin had the word "chasing" in the title. Dogma was fine but a little stuipd, and J&SBSB was a horrrible regurgitation of the Chasing Dogma comics, with the nauseating addition of Wil Farrell. (and if you ask me why I still want my poster if I didn't like the movie...BECUASE IT WAS FUCKING PROMISED).
: : Its not like Kevin killed our firstborn but damnit, people have a right to be pissed. Stop responding and answering for kevin. Kevin's a grown man and I'm sure he's fully aware of what he did.
:
: You really just don't fucking get it. "He's fully aware what he did". You're talking like he's a fucking cat that accidentally shit outside of the litter box! Good Christ...
No...the cat that shits out of the litter box doesn't do it out of greed.
: I mean, yeah, in this one situation, I am gonna pull "oldbie" rank... I've been around here for six years and at every turn, I have been amazed at how good he's been to us. When I was 17, in 1996, my dad took me to the Happy Trails festival in Red Bank... because y'know you don't trust a 17 year old with a 4 hour drive, you barely trust them with going out for milk... and you know what? Years later, Kevin's still asking "Oh, how's your dad doing?"
I've been around this board since BEFORE Chasing Amy came out. Under various nicks through the years, but I'm also an "oldbie". Doesn't mean I'm still not pissed about the poster.
And just 'cuz Kev sucked your dad's dick doesn't mean you have to stick up for the man.
: Four years of film school for 100,000 dollars? And I can damn well tell you, I've learned more about film from the cost of the internet connection for 6 years for this board and the gas money for five or six trips to Red Bank... because Smith's such a giving accessable guy... than I damn well did at "The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University".
So he also taught you how to suck dick?
: Man, you're completely wrong and you don't even fathom how wrong you are.
: Mike
Ditto.
