: In hindsight, I can see how that heading might suggest something
that will require a sock to sop up, but no. It all good.
: Some three years ago, a friend introduced me to the head-fuck that
is "Dogma". Brilliant fucking flick! Yet I couldn't give two fucks about
directors and script writers and blah, blah, blah. For three years I
enjoyed that flick for all its worth. Intelligent and funny, but does not
condescend. To not be talked down to just because you're watching a
movie is so fucking refreshing. I must've rented the bastard 20-30
times, but it wasn't until this past Thursday that I finally bought the
thing. That's okay though. BlockBuster video has always been good
to me.
: Upon seeing Kevin on...I think it was a Dennis Miller Live
appearance, I've gone alittle Smith crazy-which is my way with people
that earn my admiration. A big tongue up the ass(it's a joke people.
come to collect and I'll kick your ass) to this site for making everything
Kevin so damn accessable. The articles that I've laughed my ass off
to. The interviews and various broadcast appearances. Thank you for
not making me have to search the damn web for this stuff!
: Finally-it wasn't until last night that I watched his other
films-Clerks/Mallrats/Chasing. As I said, I'd never joined the league of
director fandom. I was disappointed with nota one of them, though I
wonder why Mallrats had been marked as the failure-the black sheep
of the family. Oh yeah-I seem to remember reading something about
second films taking a beating, just because they're number 2. Either
way, I finished it not 30min ago and thought it damn fulfilling. That
Jason Lee kid is amazing. I mean-to think before this he was a
pro-skater which, to me, sounds like a polar opposite.
: Fuck-looking up, this little message seems obnoxiously long. Sorry
bout that, and I hope the point wasn't lost. Which was just basically to
say thank you Kevin, for releasing the valve that lets out the pressure
of the daily bump and grind.
: Note: In junior high in Toronto, we watched daily episodes of
degrassi for guidence class. I think you and I are the only ones that
liked it. They did a reunion movie, by the way.
: Done.
