: : : Yeah, it's me again. I had let the whole situation from the other night : : go. It was gone. Then me and Mr. Jim Beam got to thinkin'. I still : : don't understand. I just don't. I guess the only way that I would, is if I : : were in the same business as you. I just don't understand how : : someone fortunate enough to get to act in movies for a living could : : get upset about some awards. But, then again, I guess it's not totally : : about these specific awards as much as it's about the fact that the : : film just didn't get quite as much recognition as you felt it deserved. : : (a point I happen to agree with you on, but THAT is neither here nor : : there) If I'm wrong about that then feel free to correct me. The only : : explanation I have for my actions is, that I felt you were taking your : : fortunate position of being a professional (successful) actor for : : granted. I see now that that's probably not the case at all. But damn : : it, when I first read your original post all I could think was, "This lucky : : bastard, is bitchin' about some fucking awards?!?!". I was just like, : : "There are children all over this country, homeless and starving and : : this guy's pissed about some awards!!!". "ARE YOU FUCKING : : KIDDING ME!!!". Man, you might as well had come over here and : : kicked my momma in the mouth. That's the best way I know how to : : explain why I did what I did. I do , however, appreciate you taking so : : much time to explain your stance on the matter to me. That I do : : appreciate, very much. Very much. I guess, in the end, we just have : : to agree to disagree on the matter. G'day Mr. Lee. : : : : : : regards, : : : Arron Johnson : : : : Cool post, Arron. Yeah, you got it right this time. I just wanted the film : : to get the kind of recognition that I feel it deserves, that's why I was : : disappointed when it didn't get nominated for best picture by the : : Academy. In the end, it doesn't really matter, but I thought it would be : : nice. I just thought it would be another nice acknowledgment for the : : film. AF is still a great film and has inspired a lot of people, and that : : is all that really matters. And, no, this never, in anyway, had anything : : to do with my taking what I have for granted. I am the furthest thing : : from a spoiled actor you could imagine. I made myself a promise on : : the set of Mallrats almost 7 years ago that I would NEVER take this : : acting thing I was getting into for granted. I promised to never abuse it : : or get too used to it. And, besides, that's not the kind of person I am : : anyway. I'm sure you already know that about me, though. Well, it was : : good chatting with you. NEVER any hard feelings. You were right to : : speak up. There's nothing wrong with voicing one's opinions the way : : you did. Take care. I'll see you around! : : Jason.
