Mr. Smith
Let me just say first of all that you are a great filmmaker. I have admired your work ever since i first saw Dogma about 2 years ago. To put it frankly, I loved it. Then, not even a year ago, I saw a preview in a magazine for J&SBSB and learned that you had 3 other movies I had never even heard of. So I checked them all out and became an even bigger fan. Now, you're probably asking, "Why wait a year to say this?". The answer to that is simple. I saw "The Flying Car" on leno last night. I watched it specifically for that. Something came over me while I was watching it. I don't really know what it was. It was just great to see that after 10 years Dante and Randall are still Dante and Randall. Okay, let me point out right here that I have a life of my own, and I'm not some obsessive fan. But Mr. Smith, if you ever read this, and I'm probably going to repost this just to make sure you do, I just want to say thank you. You are truely a great filmmaker and a real artist. That goes for all of you guys at V.A., too. One of my goals in life is to meet you in person and tell you all this to your face. I'm going to try my damndest to get to UK this year and attend the film festival, and maybe next year you'll see me at the vulgarthon. So in closing Mr. Smith, let me thank you again for the great work you have done. I am now, just as I've been for close to three years, one of you biggest fans.
Thank you, and keep up the fantantic work
You truely have changed my life
