Thread Response

Someone for research asked this question on the View Askew boards 'Why is Kevin Smith Influential To You?' I know I have my fan letters, but here's a new response, the one I posted in the thread. I like what I said, so here it is

Got me to see a string of movie she's done or spoken about. Interesting to see someone in the movie biz with an honest opinion, who likes to represent him opinion. the Evenings With, or Boring Ass Life are entertaining.

I'm also a nosy motherfucker who likes knowing about other people's lives too much, but he also willingly puts it out there. He likes hearing him name on tv, or much more so before, as he's said in his books and in the Evenings With.

And he's a strong person. He went out on a limb and made something that many people love. He's been good to his friends which is a positive example for people. He marches to the beat of his own drum, not always caring about what other people think. Though the naysayers are louder, he still gets a lot of love from his fans, which helps him do his own thing. In a way, at times, he's a voice for the normal person. It's not always perfect grammar and enunciation and the big picture, sometimes it's the little things in life, like the movies that we saw as children that still keep us out of the ocean, or the movies that took us to a galaxy far far away.

That's what I thought, and pretty much still do think. I like what I wrote, and wanted to keep the sentiment. :)
