: Yeah, the screening was lots of fun. And now I know why you were scribbling in a book the whole time! (g).
yaz... figured a viddy camera would have been frowned on.
: Wasn't it damn cool of Kevin to get some of us in? I'm sure the screwups weren't his fault, after all he didn't expect this film to be so popular with the LA "in" crowd. It's all to the good, though, that the LA movers and shakers wanted to see the film.
hell yes! i'm still staggered by kevin(and company)'s attention to the fans. Do you know of any other famous-types who've gone these distances? The viewaskew web presence alone seems... unprecedented (diaries, camera shots, hate mail, board posts, etc.).
As for the movers and shakers... i'm glad they saw it. but i'd love to know what they thought of it. Hopefully they got a few reasons to respect and persue kevin even if the film doesn't clean up at the box office.
: I debated wearing regular "screening" clothes; been to a number of them since I'm a film finance guy. But I said to hell with it, I'm gonna act just like a regular Askewer. Heck, Kevin usually walks around with a T shirt and sweats. It was more fun that way.
Agreed. I was tempted at first to snag some shoes from my car and tuck in the old shirt. But it was more fun to walk around comfortable than well-kempt.
: It was also damn cool to have Kevin introduce the film. Haven't seen that since a chagrined Kevin Costner introduced The Postman on the Warner lot. And this time the experience was a whole lot more fun!
i'm gonna fire off an email about this, if you don't mind, cuz i'm quite curious (and i guess it's off topic for the board). I'd love to know more about that and other screenings (assuming there's a thing or two worth mentioning).
: Well, I could ramble on...But I think you've got that covered for both of us (g).
Hey, it's a gift. :}
Later man,
