First off, you people disgust me. Who do you think you are? No really, WHO? Get over it, a filmmaker makes FILMS. They come up with an idea, write it and put it to film as best they can. Do you fear change that much? If you want to see the same characters, same actors and same premises, there are these great new inventions. Yup, they sit in your home (woo-hoo no more ungodly sunlight) and you can actually watch the same “movie” with the same actors reliving the same situations day in and day out. It’s called a television. TELL-A-VISION How idiotic must you be to tell someone that the character they came up with MUST NOT be played by such and such actor/actress? This little line is the best though:
“This casting goes completely against everything I appreciate and admire about Kevin: his non-Hollywood approach.”
Listen, I don’t want a nine inch black dildo shoved up my ass, so I don’t go to the nine inch black dildo store and ask for one up my ass. If you REALLY don’t like Hollywood that much, don’t support it! I know you were in line for Attack of the clones (AOTC as you would put it) and I know you were in line this weekend for Scooby Doo!
If you feel that threatened by change and need your mother to crawl into your little hole, chew up your food and regurgitate it down your throat for fear of actually using a fork, try this one. Close down your little Internet browser, grab yourself a nice hot cup of coffee (or whatever beverage you’ve been drinking since the day after birth), write yourself a movie, put it on film and SHOVE IT UP YOUR DOOK! Then go out and make a sequel with the same actors, characters and lines. Just keep doing it over and over again. If I wanted to see Jay and Silent Bob ALL THE TIME, shit I’d be their friend. I enjoy the way Kevin tells a story, his approach to filming is interesting, and HE’S FUNNY! Sure, I will say the London was NOT the person to go with, or that if Green had been Jay it might be odd, but that’s not to say it wouldn’t be any worse.
Movie Making: A Business Approach. By Christopher N. Piedade
Kevin makes movies _ That is a business.
The business (or “said” business as to not stray too far from what you need to survive) survives by making money.
A Movie COMPANY wants to be as successful as it can be, thus needing as much money as possible.
In conclusion, you can’t make money showing Dante huff “I’m not even […blah blah blah].” Respect to all parties involved.
Just one more thought.
