Making Kevin Smith Feel Good

Here's a good article about Kevin Smith's new film "Clerks II" (!) and his enjoyment of interacting with fans online. Mr. Smith was using the web for name recognition back when Yahoo! was a quaint little directory of just a couple thousand sites. And as it turns out people saying good things about him on the web makes him feel better.

We all need to be told when we stink and when we don't in some sort of equal measure to keep ourselves real. Kevin uses the web effectively to that end, too. I did my part to make him feel good (I hope) by adding him on MySpace. :) After all, I appreciate what he went through to make "Clerks" and "Dogma" made me think.

If you want to laugh until you have a headache and learn a lot about the film business simultaneously, watch "An Evening with Kevin Smith."
