: Actually the old-school "Riders" of the board pretty much despise me,
that's a bit of an exaggeration, no?
Malcolm. And when, pray tell, have I "pandered" to them or anybody on here?
Are you suggesting that people like A BETTER PLACE ONLY because I post on this board a lot? It would seem so to me.
: And as for the board folk comparing DRAWING FLIES and A BETTER PLACE, well, they are both VA productions, and movies are compared all the time. I mean, how many discussions have we seen about which of Kevin's movies is "the best" on here? The same argument could be made about CLERKS being a totally different movie than CHASING AMY, and thus they should never be compared.
aside from them both being VA flicks, i'd have to agree with chris as to why the two movies are often compared... the main place where most people have seen DF (at least in the US) was at the vulgarthon... for most people, that was their first time seeing ABP as well... they're both non-Kevin VA films, so it's natural that people would try to make comparisons btwn them...
