@@lifelikelu Why not? Do you know him personally? He likes to talk a lot about his legacy and he's very informative about filmmaking and could talk for hours and not make it boring.
@@Profile.4 he's extremely intriguing, people listen to very long interviews with much less interesting people. He's very creative in the way he words things and how he perceives life so I think that listening to him on all of his ideologies would be fascinating.. you need to have an open mind and appreciate life for much more than just visual aids and try to understand the context of that art form which he masters so perfectly.
Joe & Kevin make me feel like it's ok to be over 30, & still interested in the same shit that I was when I was a teenager. I don't want to be a 35 year old teenager, but I don't feel like an old man either. All I know how to be is myself, that's all I can be.
Matthew Coolness Why wouldn't you feel ok with that anyway? Quit harboring these anxietys and insecurities based on what random people may think of you and just live your life. Like what you like and do what you like while being a responsible adult and the hell with anyone's opinion about your life.
As cool and talented as Quentin is, he watches tons and tons of movies , for it to be in his top 10 for 1 specific year in his entire life of binge watching movies, probably not a big deal. If it was one of his favorite all time movies, then it would be a bigger deal.
I once let Kevin Smith read a small portion of my script once and he said it was really cool but very ambitious and also “can’t wait to see it”. All I needed to hear, thank ya Kevin!
Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino both loved Michael Parks,and he starred in a few of their movies. Especially Tarantino. Smith had him as more of a main character in the couple he was in of his. Tarantino had him just pop up in almost every one of his movies until he passed,along with his son,who played beside his father in DeathProof and he played OB in Hateful 8.
I was a huge fan when I was 16-19. I was the number 1 Jay and Bob fan! I took a date to dogma when it came out and I laughed my ass off and she didn't get it and passed out during the movie snoring! I can't believe that was over 20 years ago! Wow.
I think his biggest budgeted movie was Cop Out. And I liked it,a lot of ppl didn't,and it tanked at the box office. And Smith had a very notoriously tough time working with Bruce Willis. And I think he's just gonna stick to his own type of casting,and his own kind of movies and budgeting after that. And he has.
I find it hard to believe he only started smoking weed during Zack and Miri, I loved cop out despite the supposed problems on set but I don't think it's working out for him.
Man, funny to see him move on to Red State, I thought it was great but I thought it was very Tarantino influenced but they don't really come out and say that....I wish Kevin Smith made a few more movies like that..
Red State was really an eyeopener and a thrilling story, that i didn't saw coming. I'm sure there is more than 10 people seeing it. Cheers from Denmark
Harry Matadeen hell yeah! it was just fucking retarded enough to be awesome, not as great as Tusk though haha. Glad to see more than hate. Hope you're looking forward to Moose Jaws
"if you love movies"......that is the crux of the problem. i dont think most studio execs actually love movies......thats why so many of them make decisions that fuck movies up.
I used to love Kevin Smith, but it seems like all of his ideas are him on drugs and nobody challenging him when he has a bad idea here and there. As a human, he's funny, I love listening to him rant/chat... I've been to his website (since the 90's I'm a fan from the beginning) and the people there are fanatics in the truest sense of the word. The love everything thing he says and thinks and never criticize anything. It's unbearable and it's not acceptable to let a creative icon you love just sit there running with the very first thought that pops into his head every single time. Challenge him on at least some of his ideas, and watch him work and see what he creates out of it. It's called tough love, and the reason Kevin isn't producing the type of material I know he's capable of is his circle of close friends and fans around him started thinking everything he did was "genius". As that's happened, people like me that were around since the 90's have to step back and question if he's going to produce another Clerks or Chasing Amy. (two of my favorite films) There's almost zero chance that Kevin would see this, but take for example another showing of Jay and Silent Bob that is said to be coming out. Can we finally show a little more reality of how these two would be if they still existed as we know them too in today's world? There's a lot of comedy to extrapolate from that, or is he going to make them slapstick and make all the comedy super easy? Y'know, Clerks and Chasing Amy had a lot of real heart, and set in a real world with some unrealistic things happening around them. When you saw these characters on screen, you knew these characters in reality, if not some of their stories reflecting your own life.
BasicAverageTwit yeah he supposedly only started smoking during Zack and Miri, I could have imagined him having a very different career during the mid 90s after Clerks and Chasing Amy.
Kevin smith totally makes film just for hinself. Half of the notions he drops in his movies and even turning point are unfathomable for who doesn t read comics or know by heart jersey
I just love seeing passion on this level. I wish I had even a fraction of the passion for anything that these two guys have for what even they do. I saw Red State, before I even saw this... and all I have to say, is go watch that bitch. She is like a fine lady, she needs looking after. ..
The Dude! FMCDH He didn’t direct that, Bryan Johnson from Comic Book Men did. That movie was notorious on Howard Stern who loathed it and went on rants for months after on how he hated it.
kev says it's like the lottery, but it's not. yes, some movies make a LOT, but when movies lose money, those people don't get to make more movies. anyone who makes movies that make more than they spend on it, they get to make more movies. kev, your movies have been successful consistently. your just not a blockbuster maker.
Love Kevin as a person but as a director he really isn’t much. I really liked Clerks but his scripts are always weak because all his characters speak the exact same way.
When Joe looks down to his right... is he looking at a screen or something? I've just started noticing that this is .where he is looking most fo teh time.
"The Watchmen"? I love Kevin Smith, but whenever he talks comics (or adaptations of them) he sounds like he's never read one. (I know, the "The" is cosmetic, but it's indicative of his general comments on the medium.)
Red State was a steaming pile of pretentious shit. It was a film that anybody could have made. The writing was mediocre, the characters were boring and the plot was predictable. Such a shame because he had a fantastic cast. What happened Kevin???!!! You're so much better than that! Stick to what you know and what you do best and be true to yourself.
