Yeah, I'm 80% sure it will be terrible, but there's something about how passionately he is tackling this project that has given me a little more hope. Same goes for Hit Somebody, the hockey flick that is coming up after that.

My computer downloaded the latest episode of Marc Marron's WTF today but when I saw that it was 95 minutes of Kevin Smith talking about weed, I couldn't face listening to it and pressed stop.
― James Mitchell, Monday, 17 January 2011 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, his weed obsession of late is the least interesting thing to hear him talk about, but I typically enjoy 95 minutes of him spouting off about random bullshit. His Harry Potter recapts with Mosier are great listening.

yeah cop out was really bad, though not in the "kevin smith" way that say clerks 2 is. in fact i didnt recall that kevin smith directed cop out until his name came up at the end

He's like a soccer-dad Juggalo.
I don't hate Zack and Miri - beyond the gross-out stuff, it was more endearing than an average Apatow movie. (made the mistake of watching it with my girlfriend, who already had some questions about my female best friend, though).Chasing Amy's gender politics didn't seem that gross when I was 15, probably would now. 15-year old me though "down on both knees getting filled out like an application" was hilarious.J&SBSB was saved by Affleck and Damon.Ditto Dogma.Mallrats filmmaking incompetence is shocking.

I've seen
ClerksDogmaZack and Miriand parts of Chasing Amy
they all suffer from the same things, are bad for the same basic reasons
― ex-heroin addict tricycle (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 17 January 2011 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
he dresses basically like i did when i was 13 & it was the 90s -- fat kid hiding dumpy figure in baggy hoodies & jeans. its weirdly comforting to know ppl still dress like that imo
― *gets the power* (deej), Monday, 17 January 2011 21:29 (thirteen years ago) link
in retrospect i wasnt even that fat but its the self consciousness that counts
― *gets the power* (deej), Monday, 17 January 2011 21:30 (thirteen years ago) link
i loved chasing amy when i was 13, ie. when i knew nothing about relationships but a lot about comics. i havent seen anything by this guy since dogma (or watched any of the other stuff since i was 15ish), but i cant front like his movies werent god-tier to me when i was 13-14. Cop-Out is clearly the worst of all possible worlds - directing someone else's hacky script, and it's a white/black cop buddy movie to boot. there's a funny story from the set of Cop-Out where he was trying to explain in a handwavy sort of way to his DP what kind of lens he wanted to use for a scene, but couldn't specify because he didnt know the names of his lenses, and a mortified Bruce Willis pulled him aside and told him he couldn't let people know that he didn't know his shit like that. Smith's widely resented in the industry, not just for being a tremendously unpleasant person but because he basically won the lottery with Clerks and spent the next 15 years not exerting the tiniest bit of effort to improve his craft.
Red State looks crappy to me, but it's got a nice cast.
― Princess TamTam, Monday, 17 January 2011 21:31 (thirteen years ago) link
"...and Chasing Amy is pretty horrible, especially considering how many people i knew who thought it was his 'good' movie at the time"
ditto. it's also kind of boring - maybe not for anyone accustomed to Kevin Smith's shtick though

if you like more than two kevin smith movies you should stop watching movies altogether

― J0rdan S., Monday, 17 January 2011 21:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Cop Out is a perfectly adequate tribute to John Badham cop movies like The Hard Way or Stakeout... much better than Smith's usual garbage

oh fuck off dude, like your taste is impeccable enough to offer this kind of judgement
― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 17 January 2011 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
When I judge his movies I subtract the dirty talk/actions that sometimes has a "wow" factor because it fails to wow me at all these days. I still judge a dirty joke just like any other joke though.
I think a lot of people enjoy the risky talk/actions a lot more than me

He's a great talker, though, which is why I'd take any of his stand-up DVDs over any of his movies.
I think I hate Kevin Smith because the first thing I was made to watch of his was some "Jorts Live" DVD of him being self-important in front of college kids.
