Why did you go to all the trouble to get a password to post, if you were just going to post remarks about bashing Kevin? Are you trying to strike a chord with someone who is successful in his own field? Are you trying to get his attention because (repeating myself to other attention freaks) you have no one paying attention to you in your own life. That your life sucks so bad, that you need to bash others?
If people do look to him for "guidence" which I don't think many people do, only that they try to get his opinion. He makes enjoyable movies, if you don't like his stuff, which there are people who don't, then just be like them and don't watch'em.
But bashing a guy just for making a living is wrong. And bashing people just because they admire him, is a also wrong. He supposedly is great guy (don't know personally), but if big named actors are willing to work for him for hardly no money, then that is saying something about is admirers (that there are not just fans that admire him, but successful actors like Chris Rock, Will Ferril, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck etc.)
He's also the under dog that made it. He wasn't born into the industry like the Spelling family or George Clooney. He doesn't have a brother in the industry that could help him out like Casey Affleck or a dad like Charlie Sheen or Keiffer Sutherland (sp). He's a convient store worker from NJ, who had talent to get the attention of the masses for at least 2 hours at a time. So what if he has some hit and misses, that's what makes him so great to admire, that he is human and that he makes mistakes. But unlike other people in the movie industry, he listens to his fans.
So, if you have any other complaints, I suggest you show up at the next Viewaskew convention coming up. Say to his face what you think of him and I guarentee that he won't lay a finger on you after you bash him. He can leave that to his thousands of loyal fans that will rip your fucking tiny ass dick off and shove it down your fucking throat. How's that sound?
