Maybe Harry has been supportive, but the talkbackers have had mucho grande digs at you (Ignore them). It's the whole CAPITAL letters and EXCLAMATION MARKS!!! And they don't just review films, they tell you how they got there, what refreshments they got, hopw many times they go to the loo in a day...

I prefer the Reader Review section on Dark Horizons.
: ...but Harry's always been really supportive of our flicks.

: The AICN Talk-Backers? Well, that's a whole different story.

: : And yes, he means that the posters on this board will be upset about Jersey Girl.

: That's not an uncommon reaction. Every journo I've talked to over the course of the last month
: has been like "Are your fans gonna hate this movie?" To which I'm always like "13 and 14 year
: old Jay and Bob fans may not get into it, but the fan-base is actually a pretty diverse group, who
: aren't really into the flicks for the stoner humor. They're people like you."

: : It pains Harry Knowles to know that Kevin Smith has fans,

: C'mon, man - that's just untrue. You can't hold the dude responsible for the people who post on
: his website. Shit, most of those posters rip him to shreds on a regular basis too.

: True AICN Talk-Backer story: one time, I emailed some guy who posted something in one of the
: Talk-Backs that was just insanely wrong and untrue. I wrote "Honestly, if you don't like me or my
: flicks, that's fine. But this thing you wrote about me and my personal life is just not true, and I'd
: like you to stop saying it." Got a response back from the guy, no lie, that went something like
: this: "Look, I don't hate you are your flicks. I've actually liked most of what you do. But I like to
: go on that site and disagree with people because it's funny to read their reactions. I like to stir
: up shit."

: Now, granted, not every Talk-Backer is that guy; some of them really hate my shit. But for some
: of those folks, the AICN Talk-Backs are like wrestling: fake, but fun.
:
: But ease up on Harry, guys. He's given us props on most (if not all) of our stuff.
