...as he now knows exactly the type of performer that he'd rather not work. . . and Linda Fiorentino was only about a hundredth of his worst fears about working with actors.
After his initial brush with Chevy, Kevin will NEVER work with him? Jesus, who would want to saddle themselves with that? I'd be willing to bet that Kevin Smith will cast Robin Williams before Chevy Chase if for no other reason than the fact that Robin at least has integrity and discipline.
Here's an analogy:
You have two young people, both hard drinkers and cocain users. They get into a bosom, long-term relationship and eventually get married. Within five years they've both quit using coke and they're starting to phase alcohol out of their respective lives.
Problem is, we now have two people who are completely different from who they were at the start of the relationship and neither has any idea of how to relate to the other (and one isn't even too sure about how to relate to other people in general any more).
Well, that's the story of Chevy Chase and comedy.
: OK. This is getting way out of hand. I post and about 100 people start bitching and moaning. Some fuck named Neil writes me a 3 page e-mail every hour on the hour. He includes so much bullshit that I can't bring myself to read the whole thing. He's talking about a "war" being on. What the hell, dude? Is this junior high? Am I kicked out of the club?
: Anyway, here's my original beef:
: There were talks of doing Flecth 3. I know that Kevin was the reason. I know that Kevin wanted Chase. I know that Kevin and Chevy met for lunch one day and and discussed it. Here's where it gets a little iffy. Smith said Chase was being an asshole. As I stated before, SMITH IS NOT GOD. Chevy says that Smith said he'd get to it after the picture he was working on. Smith never got back to Chevy. Now, how can't you see that Chevy and his fans are pissed about that? The guy says he'll do it, then never calls back. Holy shit, if I were Chevy, I'd fucking kill him. Chevy was waiting. Smith fucked him over.
: As for this Fletch Won coming out: I never said Chase should be Fletch. I NEVER said that. I said that Chase WILL ALWAYS BE FLETCH. That's why I wanted a Fletch 3 instead of Fletch Won. Chase got fucked, that's the bottom line here. Most of you guys are too far up Smith's ass to see that.
: In closing, I just want to say that I don't appreciate all the hate e-mails and posts calling me childish names. I admit, I retaliated with some name-calling of my own. But you know what they say, sometimes you get drawn down to the level of your rival. I mean, I post something and get just stupid-ass responses. For example, I posted something saying that Chevy had a major role in Caddyshack and was very good in that role. I got numerous replies like "Cops and Robbersons was great. Way to go Chevy." Or "I just LOVED Oh Heavenly Dog." I mean, what the fuck? Those movies have nothing to do with my post, but yet I get those responses every time. I admit-Chevy has had some bad roles in the past. But that doesn't take away from his many great roles.
: Somebody please talk to that Neil guy. Ask him why he blows things way out of proportion. WAR!!! WAR!!! WAR!!! What the hell is that all about? Grow up, buddy. Also, all you other fucks calling me retarded and making fun of me, you guys are just as bad as Neil. This board has a lot of stuuborn, ignorant hipocrits. As for the few that posted rational posts, I appreciate it. It's you type of peole that this board was intended for. You guys don't want to wage a WAR!!! WAR!!! WAR!!!
