While I was trying to wake up this morning I started thinking, is kevin too good to us? This board is a main example of that, yea thousands of movie stars, directors, and such have web sites with message boards but how many actually look at it more than once a month. Kevin looks at it almost every day and when he's not busy he reads every post.
Also JASBSB was actually a movie to us hardcore Askewnervers fans, I mean in the theatre while I was cracking up and pointing things out there were many people in there not getting shit. That movie was for us, for his fans!
Yea, I know we basicly pay his salary but we also do the same for many other people in the movie buisness. Yet they dont show any of us the gratitude or loyaltie that Kevin does. Even after JASBSB didnt make as much as he though it would he still gave us a thank you, now thats class.
Some people come in here and question Kevins loyalty to the fans, how in the world can anybody say that? He's holding a film festival for us when he doesnt have to. Yea he may see some profit but I dont think that much, hes doing it for the fans. He holds Q&A sessions all the time, yea he ghets paid for it, but he'l' stand up at the podium for 5-6 hours straight and still have a HUGE smile on his face. Same thing with autograph sessions, 5 hous into it and he still has a huge grin on his face.
Even though Kevin is so good to us people still bitch and complain though, that seems so idiotic to me. I just want to thank Kevin and the whole View Askew staff for careing so much about the fans. And always remember that no matter how many fans complain that you still and always will have true fans who will do(or pay) anything for you. Well that was just a rant I wanted to get off my chest.
PEACE OUT!!!
