What does he have against Woody Allen?
Some might opine that Woody was the first Dante Hicks (Which Woody, you may ask? Er, how many have we seen?).
That said, how do you think we could lure the real Paul Thomas Anderson back to the board? Shit, you know he's going to want to shill for "Magnolia"'s video-release...of course, he may not feel the need to spam for something that New Line has clearly wrapped in the trappings of "classy picture."
*blargh!!*
Tell me, he who may know: Has Kevin ever conversed with Paul Thomas Anderson? Perhaps, I've got this guy all-wrong, but he really does strike me as a larger-than-Michael-Bay-size asshole.
Folks seem to instantly take to Kevin Smith 'cause he's a sweet, personable guy who makes the cast-&-crew feel comfortable (even should he chide or lay-into them)...
What about Anderson? The guy's no David-Lynch-sized Michaelangelo, I'll tell ya that...
Is he really as mouthy a prick as he seems or am I just hyperventilating over a Valley Boy who's not worth a second thought?
...and if David Fincher deserves testicular cancer for supposedly (SUPPOSEDLY!! It's not like Paul even watched David's film!!!) then isn't Kevin Smith just as entitled to lung-cancer for the very real jokes that he's made about it?
Technically, P.T. Anderson's wished lung-cancer on Kev. (and much of the crew) via insinuation...and himself, come to that...
