: 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 :)
: Later,

: : 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.
Well I know. I have never seen that movie "Magnolia". But from the title alone sounds like it would be a dull movie. Would anyone really take a movie that has a flower for the title serious? Sounds like another ass talking situation here.
