: i saw it last thursday, he showed a rough cut of the whole film, and that cut was amazing. i can't wait to see what he does to improve it. he was a real dick about signing my book though... i told him i just wanted a signature and not a personalized thing, and he just scribbled all over the page... literally... looks like his ego is kinda getting to him finally. but the book and movie both rule, so whatever.
3 books, 3 for my brother and his DVD's of the awful truth. Very sweet, and THANKED my brother for buying the DVD's.
I mentioned the ARENA article to him, and asked him to take care of himself - you know, I have a thing about tubby Catholic indy filmmakers. He seemed genuinely concerned, and wanted to know where I'd heard that - I told him it was on the website - Kevin's articles are there.
He said, "View askew?" Yeah.
You sure? His handwriting sucks. I've got 3 signatures that I can't read, and a line that says, "I promise 50 lbs. by Christmas."
Seemed like a sweetheart to me.
