The Kevin Smith connection

I find it strange Prince was willing to work with him. He has a sewer mouth
just like a truck driver. F this and F that...

I understand he's a no nonsense guy and all but U would think Prince would be
so freaked by his profanity.

I would say the opposite is true. I find it odd that KS agreed to work with Prince. From how KS describes it--and i doubt he made any of that up--- filming the celebration was an absolute nightmare. Prince could have at least thanked him for putting up with his cryptic psycho babble for 7 straight days.

I'm not surprised at either one of them. It was supposed to be a documentary, not a scripted feature film.

And Smith put up with it all because he was obviously a Prince fanboy who was willing to.

I just bought "An Evening w/Kevin Smith" and it's great.

The Prince quote that got my attention was when he said Princes' assistant said "Prince has been in Princes world for a long time. He doesn't understand why he can't have a Giraffe at 3eeko in the morning in Minnisota". He honestly don't understand why"

Kevin said he was a big fan and how excited he was to even hear from Prince then made a point to go in and say thanks (after a long hellish week of filming) but Prince was working on music and wouldn't even see him.

That got to me a little, I hate people like that.

BTW JMH, that was a CAMEL not giraffe. i also must comment that IMHO, i think this is sooo cute when they tell P "prince, it isnt physcically or psychologically possible 2 get u a CAMEL AT 3 A.M. It's minnesota." and he simply says "why?" Too cute-clueless! (at least if thats the way it went down. the media u know...)why cant he anyway? he's important enough & rich enough & powerful enough to accomplish this as far as I'M concerned. GET P THAT CAMEL! NO EXCUSES!

I rented the movie a couple of days ago...I was appalled at Prince's lack of gratitude for Kevin Smith who worked for free...what an a$$hole...

CORRECTION: i just today found out (from a reliable source i hope) that prince never asked 4 that camel. i guess kevin just made that up as an example of something he "would"? say (prince's world, u know & all that...). i always thought this to be a bit ludacrous at 1st, even 4 prince. however i still think it would be cute as hell coming from him if he HAD said it, & i'd still try 2 get him that camel! lol. just thought i'd correct myself here, as i can be rather naive...but harmless!
