Kevin simply said he didn't like the movie, and the next thing you know this website was overrun with PTA fans who were bashing Kevin for daring to have that opinion, and said PTA fans were being bashed by rabid VA fans, some of whom suddenly decided that they hated all things PTA...
It's really quite stupid, the whole thing. To the MAGNOLIA fans- Kevin didn't like the movie and this being the U.S., he has a right to say so. To the VA fans who decided they hate PTA: Kevin LOVES "BOOGIE NIGHTS" and never said PTA was a bad filmmaker, he just didn't like one of his movies.
For the record, I didn't like MAGNOLIA on first viewing, but I've turned out to really like the film a lot based on subsequent viewings on DVD.
