No, really. He distributed a memo to the staff of his Christmas film. (The Christmas film which sat in cans until it was released direct-to-video, mind you.) It contains a lot of ridiculous notes, some malpropisms, and LOVE.
Most important concept of all -- THE CONCEPT OF LOVE. Perhaps we could make large posters that simply say "Love this movie" and post them about.
Vanity Fair got hold of it and posted it (http://www.vanityfair.com/online/culture/2008/11/14/thomas-kincades-16-guidelines-for-making-stuff-suck.html). They also include some interesting history of Kincaid, including the one time he got drunk at a Siegfried and Roy performance and repeatedly shouted "CODPIECE!" I only wish I was capable of making this stuff up.
I was also amused by some comments to the article, and found this one particularly insightful:
As a realist painter, I have always thought that the self-aggrandizing phrase “ The painter of light” was ridiculous. It’s like a baker saying he is “The baker that uses flour and eggs”!
