I went to your lecture last week in Wilmington, NC. I just wanted to say thanks for spending so much time answering questions. It was nice to see someone in the film industry who is not entirely drunk on their own "greatness". Your films have inspired me to take a shot at making my own, and to find out that you were a down to earth guy only helped my respect for your art. I just hope I never see the day when you refer to one of your projects as "a film by Kevin Smith". You seemed to understand that it takes a team to make a picture. In honor of your troubles with Disney, as well as all of the other crap they get away with, a number of students at UNC-W have organized a Disney boycott. You should have seen the reaction to the protests when Disney was recruiting on campus! Anyway thanks again for the time you spent with all of us. Maybe one day I will mention your influence on me at the begining of one of my flicks. Good luck in your future endevours.
