Hmm. Funny that you've been talking a bit more about Kevin Smith lately. He was the star attendee at the Orlando Megacon last weekend. Very cool person. Pulled a friend of mine aside and pissed off 94 people in line to sign some stuff he had just because he walked by with a neat Justice League of America Jacket. Seems to be a very nice, down to Earth guy for someone who had a few Thousand screaming, clawing psycho fans trying merely to be within 25 feet of the guy... which is what annoys the hell out of me. He's been speaking out against the whole "comic book/movie people are above the common rabble and should be treated like tiny gods" thing for awhile now, and yet they all threw it out the window just to get the name "Kevin Smith" On various pieces of stuff. Argh.
Talked about the stuff he's been doing in movies and comics. Jason would have been there as well, but he's a bit busy being a fugitive for possesion at the moment, and Smith didn't wanna deal with it. He spoke of a conversation the two had a few days eariler the beginning went like this:
Jason: "Yo. Hey dude."
Kevin: "Jason?! Where the hell are you?!"
J: "Oh. A Denny's. 'Grand Slam,' man. So, when are we going to Florida?"
K: "What the...?! Aren't you busy being a fugitive right now?"
J: "So, who's gonna turn me in over there?"
K: "Uh.. Namely... ME?!"
Jason's a funny guy, but he really needs to turn himself in before he digs himself too deep. Oh well.
