I definately agree that this "bad blood" thing has been played up by journalists. (What news isn't?). But it hasn't been completely fabricated by them. After all, Kevin Smith made reference to it in his last post to the board. Plus, I do think it's all kinda interesting and amusing. Furthermore, I think all the competition between the Kevin Smiths and the PT's can used in a possitive way to enhance the movie industry much in the same way that Bird vs. Magic, Pistons vs. Bulls did so much for the NBA. Kevin can still be Kevin, PT can still be PT, Quentin can still be Quentin and so on. I guess what I'm really suggesting is their ought to be some forum of sorts where these filmmakers compete or maybe just discuss head on intead of the current state of affairs in which they take cheap shots at each communicating via the unrealiable avenues of the media.
