: : Last Weekend I attended Megacon 2002 and the guest of honor was Kevin Smith. I brought my Jay an Silent Bob #1 to have him sign it, but when I stepped in line they said Kevin Smith requested to have the line stopped at 100. : Can I say that I've known Kevin through this site for years, and heard many a story about a signing gone wrong and whatnot. Never once have I heard (or seen, in the numerous times I've gone to signings, even if not for a signature, just to say hi) Kevin do anything to short anybody from an autograph. It's entirely possible, but it's never happened yet. : However, it is fairly typical for cons to dick people over and use famous people's names to justify it. : Just a thought. : : This man's name was Andy Hallet who is a character on the WB's Angel ((He Is A Demon With Green Skin And 2 Red Horns On His Head)) and he was signing autographs and taking pictures like crazy and after that he talked with everybody who went to see him. As I watched the line continue grow over 100 and nobody was stopping it, I knew this guy was true to his fans, and he would see everybody in the whole convention if he could. So I bought some comics, looked around for a while, then me and my friend left. : Why didn't you talk to him? : : So a few hours later I was digging through some guys comic box looking for some Hellspawn's when my friend came up to me and said "Dude you gotta check this out" so we walked up to see Kevin Smith. When we were in clear veiw of him we saw him talking on his cell phone the whole time, not looking up at anyone, and not saying shit to anyone, I didn't even see him take any pictures with anyone. : Um, how long were you watching? The reason I ask is that this webboard has been filled with stories of people who claim they got their pictures taken. I want to be able to cite them as the dirty lying assholes that they are. : : From then on I realized Kevin Smith dosen't really care what the hell goes on with his fans, as long as he gets paid and is known. I know it doesn't mean nothing to him : Double negative. : : but he has lost a few devoted fans, who really enjoyed his worked untill we saw the true "Kevin Hollywood Smith." : Can I ask, even if you do feel somehow betrayed because you were too much of a screw-up to get in a line, what Kevin's personality has to do at all with the work he puts out? I mean, it's the art, not the artist. : And, anyway, we've already got Brian "Hollywood" Lynch. : : Thats my story, I don't really give a shit who thinks I'm wrong, because I saw alot of people who saw what I saw at the convention and feel the same and I could care less what the people who think I'm wrong have to say. : That's 'cause you're a moron with no confidence that you may be right, so you're afraid to read what people say to explain how wrong you are. : : I wrote this in hopes that Kevin Smith would some how read this ((even though its the people who run this site reply in his name)) : I happen to know for an absolute fact that this isn't true. If it were, do you really think that "Kevin" would post as infrequently as he does? : : and maybe undestand what a DICK he is, and change his view on how to treat his fans. : Yeah, you're right, he should be like David Lynch and charge admission to his website.
