In Reply to: Curious about the opinion questions... posted by TrentReno on February 26, 2003 at 13:37:20:
I've never actually caught Kevin online myself, so this is just a guess... but I think that when Kevin comes online, people feel like they have to post a question, any question, to see if Kevin will respond. And, because Kevin can only answer a limited number of questions, it's kind of a race to get the post in before he says he's gotta go. Think about it, most people don't get the opportunity to ask their favorite writer/director a question, so when the opportunity is there, people freeze and can't think of anything good to ask, so they just post something, afraid that if they don't, they won't get the opportunity again. That's my guess anyway.

: I've always wondered about the opinion questions to Kevin..."What did you think of this," "What do you think of that..." You know? Sure, sometimes it makes sense. It's interesting to know what filmmakers think of other movies and such. But wow sometimes it's gets to be so much...Kev will come on and it's "Kevin! Did you see the new ajax commercial? What do you think??"" Since he's so busy lately, seems like his answers are always that he hasn't seen/heard/read what the poster is referring to.
: But why are so do so many people want to know if he likes everything? If Kev hated last night's Smallville, will that change your opinion on it? Just wondering.
