You're pretty much right. Kevin said he didn't like Magnolia, and a ton of people started asking him "why," saying it was a great film and such. Kevin just said he didn't like it... it was a bit too long. So people COMPLETELY snowballed it to be something like "Kevin Smith hates PTA and thinks all his movies are shit."
That, of course, is NOT the case. He just didn't think Magnolia was a good film.
The Magnolia Fan reference is the coolest thing that will be in the movie (even though I haven't seen the movie, I feel confident saying that) because it's a joke that only a few hundred of us on this board are going to get.
He put a joke in there JUST for us. That's so cool :)

: First off he didn't say he hated it, he said it wasn't his cup of tea.
: (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
: As far as the "Magnolia Fan" reference in the trailer goes, I've got to beleive thats a shot at ALL (not just PTA) over zealous fan boys.
: You know the ones that show up on web boards saying things like,
: "Why does he hate that film so much", when he never said any such thing...
: maybe I'm talking out my ass...wouldn't be the first time.
: As for me I've gotta be honest I've never seen it all the way through, I've tried 3 times and I fall asleep in the first 45 minutes. I didn't even do that with reindeer games.
