Anyone ever have one of those days when it rains it pours?
To make a long story short, I just wanted to say thanks to Kev and everyone out there at ViewAskew and on this board. The past few days have been incredibly long, stressful, heartbreaking and just about every shitty word you could come up with to describe them. One of those weeks we all have when you feel like Pesci at the end of Casino and they are throwing more dirt onto your beaten, broken, bloody brother. I mean, everyone has one of those right?
Well, in my moments of despair, I have had two things really turn me around and make me smile. The first was a marathon of Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (yeah, I got it off the net, but I am buying it from the Stash as well. I just hated waiting). Kev, the work on Chasing Amy reminded me that true love does hurt, but there is tomorrow. Dogma reminded me of two things really. The first is that even those of us who have lost faith will survive and are capable of great things. And the second thing that it reminded me of was that Bethany is part black. Who would have thought it? And as far as Jay and Silent Bob....well, anyone who can't laugh at dick and fart jokes probably is too far gone to be helped anyway.
The second thing was the people on this board. Even the trivial shit made me laugh this week. The responses to the Malcolm autograph value were especially good. My two cents is that the autograph is worth it, but then again that is just my opinion. But thanks to everyone who managed to say something funny this week. And if you didn't say anything funny this week, well then fuck you for letting me down in my moments of need.
The bottom line is thanks for putting out the work that you do and making people laugh. I just wanted to say thanks from my little corner of the world to you and everyone involved in the films you have made. Thanks for taking the time to make us smile and give us a place to share our thoughts and feelings. If only more people did this, we would have more senseless discussions and better written movies and comics.
Well, feel free to lampoon this as overly thankful or whatever, but just make sure it is damn funny when you do it people. There are others out there that need a laugh. Thanks.
