I have been lurking around this board for about two years now. Being a fan of Kevin's I use this forum to pick up the juicy little tid-bits surrounding his next project(s). In the meantime I have become interested in Lynches upcoming film project and have learned more than I ever thought I could about the tech side from Vincent.
I thank all of you guys for that. I have chosen not to post because I really did not feel the need. The community that was here ensured that all pertinent info I cared about was presented to me and those who policed the board (Ming officially however Smalls placed many the ass under citizens arrest) kept the clutter under control.
It seems that the purpose of the board has fallen by the wayside and there are very few (such as Chiusano) dedicated to the original purpose.
Questions here are to be posted to the folks in red or at the very least carry some relevant question. Arguements as to who should play the next Fletch are to be reserved for the "other board". At one time, polls questioning your favorite movie would have been unacceptable if not deleted.
There was a sense of community on this board that has since been lost. It is very rare that a writer\director is willing to keep his fans as informed as Kevin does. The reason I looked forward to seeing Dogma in the theatre was that I felt a part of the project. From casting to filming to editing and test screenings we were all kept abreast of the latest developments.
This is very rare indeed.
So put the "favorite movie" polls elsewhere. As Vincent has mentioned, the production of Fletch is AT LEAST a year off. So, Dreener11...shut the fuck up already...or at least try joining the community and lay off the "CHEVY FOR PRES" campaign, cuz' the bitch ain't gonna get elected.
Later,
Wyers
