: Kevin,
: With regard why you bother....
: No offence to any other posters, but I come on here to read what you have to say. I love Hitchcock films too, but that tubby bastard never replies.
: The internet was suppossed to break down walls, put people in touch, let people have information. You are the only person I respect who seems to believe that too.
Same with Spielberg, Lucas and most other maker of major films. I've always felt that the ViewAskew crew makes themselves more accessible because they were/are fans of comics and films. I can imagine Kevin as a small comicbook fan thinking, "I wish I could ask this guy why he wrote his character that way and actually have him answer..." Movie stars and writers have never been as accessible as they are through the internet - and for the most part, they're still as inaccessible as always. This board allows for direct interaction between movie stars and fans. We get honest answers to honest questions.
: I can't understand why you do bother with this whole internet business, the return for your efforts cannot be worthwhile, but, I'm damn glad you do.
Actually, the return on investment should be pretty good for this. I don't think I would have ever gone to the Stash if I hadn't read this board. If I didn't live 30 minutes from Red Bank, I can assure you, I would be ordering stuff on-line.
Just my 2 cents....
