Kevin Smith tweets he had 'massive heart attack'

Quote:
Kevin Smith says he's lucky to be alive right now.
The director tweeted a selfie in a hospital gown late Sunday night, saying he had suffered a major health crisis.
"After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack," he wrote. "The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka "the Widow-Maker").

The "Jay and Silent Bob" star added that if he "hadn't canceled show 2 to go to the hospital," he would have died.
"But for now, I'm still above ground!"

Yeah, I hope he makes it. He's a chill guy. 8) Plus he's offered to do a couple charity shows here in support of raising the money required to save Vancouver's Rio Theatre. They need to raise $1.5 M in a month or so to have a chance of buying the building an preserving the theatre vs. it being sold and torn down & replaced with condos or something.

He's one of my favorite movie makers. I wish him a speedy recovery.
