: In my personal opinion, you're being really petty. Kevin has done an incredible amount for his fans, and I'd like to think we'd have the courtesy to let something this insignificant go.
Insignificant to whom, you? I did't know you speak for the masses.
: I'm betting he WILL sign those damn posters, too. And you're all gonna feel like assholes when he does.
How so?
: Or, you know, maybe people as self-absorbed, and with such an incredible sense of entitlement, never feel bad about judging someone with a lot of commitments and very little free time. I wouldn't know.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
You want't to dance, you have to pay the band.
No one went to Kev and said "Hey Kev, if I go to a second screening hows about a free autographed poster?" You seem to keep missing that fact. Very easily I might add.
: There's not another filmmaker on this wide green earth who would even consider doing half the things Kevin does for us. You know what? If anybody thinks this is reason enough to stop supporting him, then turn in your decoder ring and your SuperFan badge and get the fuck out. You're not needed. Any true fan would have a little more respect and understanding, or at least a little more patience and faith.
You really should be a comedy writer!
: It's NOT like buying anything. It's like someone giving you a present, a great movie tailored to the fans, and then saying they'll give you ANOTHER PRESENT ON TOP OF THAT. And then you sitting around constantly whining "where's my oooottttthhhhher present, mommy? you PROMISED!"
PRESENT. There you go again Fangirl. You keep missing the fact always. Kev is the one who got the present, remember? $8.00 times X amount of showings = Kevs present.
: Well, guess what. Shit happens. Life is messy and hard, and Mommy's got bills to pay. If she doesn't take you to the zoo today, it's not going to end your fucking life. Grow up. There are more important concerns.
Thank why did you stick your nose in and get involved in the first place?
Practice what you preach.
: I want you to know, SM, I'm not necessarily talking to you specifically here; I'm sure you mean well. I'm just so tired of hearing people bitch about this subject. STOP.
I will, when I get my signed poster. This way I can put it on eBay, get $5.00 for it and take the $3.00 loss.
Have a nice day.
