Mr. Smith, sir. On several occasions, I have heard you mention that Mallrats was ahead of it's time (What with the Comedy Central sign on Brodie's wall, among other things). And I agree. Yes indeedy-doo. And since the sense of humor would better fit today's audience, why not just put the flick in theaters again? I don't know if you could, But if it was possible, re-opening the flick would have two definite advantages. Firstly, I think a lot of people would want to see it, and you'd make a hell of a lot more money than the first time around. Secondly, although your flicks are undoubtedly some of the best out there, they are not as widely known as others. I myself just saw Mallrats last year. That was my introduction to the View Askewniverse. But I got interested, and rented the other Askew movies. Only three other people I know have any idea who Jay and Silent Bob are, and only two know what View Askew is. But if Mallrats re-opened, more people would be introduced to the world of Snootchie-Bootchies and whatnot. and your "Fan Club" so to speak, would have even more fans added to the already impressive number.
Thanks for litsening to my rambling,
Jeff
