: Kevin doesn't come to your job and slap the cock out of your mouth, does he? Then leave his visual style alone. It has just undergone major feature-altering operations, which has now made it look amazingly like Joan Rivers, so give Kevin's visual style a break so it can recover...
: SO IT CAN RECOVER AND INSULT YOU AND YOUR CLOTHING CHOICES IN A COCKY AND OPINIONATED FASHION!!!
I think it would be fun if Kevin stopped by at my place of work and slapped some cock out of my mouth. It would definitely impress my boss.
But anyway, I don't believe I was knocking Kevin about anything. I stated something I noticed, ie the lack of a definitive visual style. This does not make him a less amazingly talented guy nor does it demolish his value, at least not in my eyes. I still think he's one of the top 3 filmmakers of my generation.
Maybe I overstepped the boundaries of this message board. I'm still a newbie so i don't know if anything less than a get-on-your-kness-and-worship-the-ground-he-recently-pissed-on message is the kind of feedback that Kevin wants on this message board. Looking around though, it seems that alot of folks enjoy giving their own non-brainwashed take on one of the more affecting filmmakers in recent times.
So excuse me for seeing his earlier films as great stepping stones to an extraordinary future.
