I need to seriously thank Kevin Smith, and the entire VA crew. I don't know how you guys find the time, energy, or will to put together the DVD packages you do, but I hope that whatever drives you to do it never gets lost on you. The time, effort, and pride you guys routinely, and increasingly, take for each project just to please your fans -- absolutely astonishes me. Whether it's your DVD efforts, or your internet presence, you guys either seriously love your work, seriously enjoy your fans, or both. That's a rare formula in any industry, but especially in entertainment. YOU put together packages for, in reality (and no disrespect intended), movies that are nearly a blip on the Hollywood money making machine. The type of packages that other directors, actors, & producers have no inclination to provide for flicks that are CASH fucking COWS!!! You always find the time -- and more importantly you put great care and consideration into doing it right!! And I suspect you do it simply because you love it. So thank you.
And just so you know, it's because of your devotion to your fans (and your fan's seemingly endless devotion to you) that I have/will purchased all of the VA movies on DVD (even the obscure titles that are dropping in July)... and the exact reasons why I even purchased the Animated Series DVD, though I wasn't a big fan of it when it hit the small screen, nor when I saw it the first time on DVD for that matter. (When I watched it the SECOND time on DVD, it was fucking money, though!)
I can't wait to see J&SBSB, but more importantly, can't wait to see how Kevin develops outside of his VA Universe (as it is becoming quite robust, my friend. Do you get credit for redefining the word "Trilogy"?). I think it'll be a wonderful thing to see, and a damn fucking entertaining ride!!! Once again, thank you guys for making us (the people Hollywood gladly takes the money from) actually feel like we're not being ass-raped without getting a proper reach around! Not only do you guys give us that reach around, but you kiss us, and occasionally lick the back of our ears. And that makes us feel good. Let's cuddle. Noonch.
