You know what's irritating.
People who come here and post blanket statements........
The fact that you get to interact with people who make stuff that goes out to the public is kinda like being invited into someones home.
(Now ..I know it's Kevins home...but through suppourting me with DRAWING FLIES....he's rented me out a proverbial room....Let's say..the car hole.)
Say whatever you want out on the streets...but when you come into the house as a guest....be courteous and thoughtful.
Stuff like "This shouldn't have been released" and "all the charchters are boring" is not well thought out criticsm....it's lazy.
I have no problem with people who don't like the flick........And I am thankful (more than you'll ever know) for those of you that do.......I didn't initially want to release the film (if any of you remeber) because it was in fact a small film......that has a very limited audience.......And the main reason that most people were gonna watch it was because of Kevin or Lee or Mewes........
I know this.....
The main reason I did release it was because Kevin has been so incredibly suppourtive ,......and he really wanted it to be seen...because he is proud of it.......My little retarded red headed step child has a very generous Godfather
SO there you go.
I certainly don't want to make ANYONE feel they can't say what's on their mind..I grew up reading Pauline Kael.....I love criticism....but I implore you..........This is family.....if you have criticism...think it out.....say what's on your mind ....but.......THINK!
Sorry for being sappy
and flame away
