For Clerks, Mallrats(My favorite..kill me..) ,Chasing Amy,Dogma,Clerks:TAS, Daredevil, the Oni Comics, the Board, the Stash, exposing new actors like Jason Lee to the masses, writing "Dick and Fart" jokes while challenging the intellect...oh, and for not doing bloated, boring movies with ham fisted messages. Your WIT always saves the day, and even non-fans are sure to get a laugh or two..or more.
"Boring" is NOT a word I have seen used to describe your work.
As for "Directorial Style"(SP?) , hey, if I HAD to film a movie, guess whose style I'd lift? I guess I am stupid for not seeing how 'flat' your style is. I always feel 'right there'...and almost 'in' the movies. That is a trait NOT evident in work by other directers.
Sorry for the over-praise, but sometimes (Okay,after viewing 'Amy' for the fiftieth time...) credit must be given where credit is due...heard that somewhere.
No response by anyone requested. Just a quiet 'moment' , and a hope you don't pack it in until ,well, never.
Thanks for being around,man.
