: The following is a message for Kevin Smith
: Dear Mr. Smith or Kevin or any name that wont make you feel old
: My name is Thomas And i am from CA. I am 19 and married. Dont worry i am not askin you for money or a job and anything like that. I just want to thank you for making your movies.
: I dont want to lie to you by saying that i have been a long time fan because i have not. to tell the truth my wife introduced me to your movies. At first i was like "Who the fuck is Kevin Smith?" She then told me that i was living under a rock for to long. She thought that it would be a good idea to rent A EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH so i sould get to know you better.
: When i saw it i hated it. For the whole movie i was scratchin my head and wonerinf what the fuck was a Nubien and who the fuck was Jay and Silent Bob. Then and there i vowed never to see one of your movies because to me you did not make the least bit of sense.
: It was about a week later when my wife came home with a certian movie. she did not want me to read the title or know who the direcor was. The only thing that she told me was it was a black and white movie. So she put it in and we both watched it. I was laughing smiling and i Enjoyed the movie completely. I especialy liked the 2 stoners that were in fornt of the Quick Stop and i also thought it was funny that whenerv someone was about to say their names she distracted me to make sure i didnt know it was one of your movies.
: At the end of the film i asked the usual question "Who was the director because he is fucking brilliant" and " Who were those 2 stoner guys becaus they are fuckin hilarious!" She first told me that You were the director and i was fuckin shocked. Then she told em that you were silent bob and i replied " You gotta be fucking kidding me. He's the best fucking director in the world!"
: And the following days i rented Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. I loved all of those movies dearly. Then about a month ago i saw Jay and Silent Bob strike back. I am not kidding you when i say this when that movie is now my favorite movie of all time. The only other movie that i enjoyed almost as much as yours was The Shawshank Redemption. I shwed Jay and Silent Bob strikes back to my family and they didnt understand half of the jokes in the movie but i had a smile on my face whenevr i said "Oh you have to see Mallratts/Dogma/Chasing Amy to understand that joke.
: Two days ago i again saw A EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH. Needless to say i enjoyed that emmensly.
: I want to thank you once again for making the movies you do. I am looking forward to seeing Jersy Girl.(even though it does not have jay and silent bob in it.)
: I hope you keep writing and directing because you are fantastic at it. Its true that i dont have any experience in that feild but i know you are good and many other fans know so to.
: i hope this gets to you and i know you are a busy man so you do not have to reply.......well not anytime soon......ha ha ha. Thank you
: A Fan For Life,
: Thomas
