: The way I see it, I've wasted so much money on bad cinema that I've reached my breaking point.
---Pick better films
So I've decided to make a documentary about the subject (ie. why are people addicted to bad movies).
----Let me get this straight.....You've spent SO much money on bad movies...You are gonna spend MORE money...and time....on making a movie about it
You my man..are not running on all cylinders
They're are two camps primarily (ie. The Star Wars camp where SUV driving Babyboomers flood the theaters in support of sentimental fx driven Spielberg crap AND the Clerks crowd where pre-Columbine losers who watch Fight Club once a week and live on a diet of Redbull).
---Your very limited generalizations show how "out of the loop" you truly are......Where does "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" , "Rush Hour 2", and "About Schmidt" fit into this?
The only way to vanquish America's addiction of bad movies is to find out where the cults of bad moviemaking live and put the smack down.
---So.....the smackdown is pissy little comments to fans on a web board......That's a worthwhile cause
What i do care about is this: on this website I'm the ONLY ONE with enough guts to criticize Kevin Smith.
---Only an aimless loser would track down a fan web site just to post shit......Is this some childhood thing?.....Did Daddy play with your wee-wee?
This is like that creepy scene in Conan when James Earl Jones is about to burn the, like, eight million follows who blindly worship him.
---If that ain't the fucking geekiest fan boy refernce EVER....
Those without sin....
Is that what you want to do with your lives? Worship Kevin Smith? You don't even know him? ANd the fact that he takes advantage of you and lets an impovished public worship a celebrity
---I can only assume that impovished means impoverished.....
Trust me..if you saw the sales at the Stash
Celebrity worship = human worship = cults of personality (ie. Mao, Jim Jones, Club 54, you name it!)
---Club 54...an apt metaphor
Thos who complain the loudest are the ones left behind the velvet rope
And until he gives this addiction up, his movies will continue to tank at the box office and the masses will continue to pay their hard earned money for movies they know deep down inside suck!
----I think maybe you wanna go attack more deserving people.....(*ahem* Brett Ratner)......For the record...none of Kevins movies have lost a cent...all pretty fucking high in profits.....Fuck.....with that boys name....even my little student film went HEAVY into profit
As for whether he sucks....I think the work speaks for itself....
