Saw this YEARS ago.
Hilarious shit.
Soooooooo tired of Kevin Smith these days though. His bully pulpit at his little rallies is sad.

A comic book guy that succeeded! He is funny but acts like a God among nerds! Hard to believe he is talking about 14 years ago!!

Best exchange of dialogue:
JP: Who the fuck is Kal-el?
KS: Kal-el is Superman.
JP: Why?
KS: Kal-el is his Kryptonian name.
JP: ...
KS: Krypton is where he's from.
JP: Oh right. The whole fuckin' planet, boom. Alright.......go.

I think that's because so many fans treat him like such. I'm in the small group of folks who actually HATED his debut film "Clerks" (that others were crazy about at the time) - but actually found his other work interesting enough to check out. So, he's not a God to me, I actually hated his first film, but the more bits I'd been introduced to about Smith, the more I've enjoyed. (The Superman script he did was interesting....not great, but interesting)
As a stand-up, I think he found his 'niche', and have enjoyed his stories about Hollywood & comics & even his stint as moderator at the last "Battlestar" panel at comicon (EASILY the best one with him moderating & keeping the laughs going, on a panel that wasn't always that interesting to sit through necessarily).

I'm impressed with how he got Clerks made, but I'm not a fan of the movie

I think Chasing Amy is his best film, more for the dramatic content than the comedic.

I used to like Kevin Smith until I realized he could only make one kind of movie ... dick/fart/drug jokes for 90 minutes. What did the guy do when he got a chance to work on projects broader than that concept?
Fletch: left
Green Hornet: left
What has the guy done lately? Sit around a stage and charge chumps to listen to his insider stories about how stupid studio execs are?
I used to like Kevin Smith, then I grew up.

Understood.
I actually ENJOYED a good amount of Jersey Girl, what I saw, anyhow, MUCH more than Clerks 2 or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Clerks I like. Mallrats I love. Dogma I love. Chasing Amy I really like. Clerks 2 and Jay Etc. I can't fucking stand. Awful. Just awful.
Cop Out was kinda funny, though.

I have never seen any of his movies, except Die Hard 4 which he had a small role in.

I hated Dogma. Thought it was one long "try too hard to say something" fest. I think Chasing Amy is really an impressive flick. Clerks and Mallrats are all time faves.
Jay and Silent Bob, well...the first time I saw it was in a packed theater, on opening night. And I had just hotboxed a small automobile with a buddy of mine, and I was higher than Jesus, and seeing it in a full theater with loads of people laughing was just...kind of amazing. But, it didn't hold up under repeated viewings in different circumstances.
Couldn't be bothered with Jersey Girl or Clerks 2.
Would have really liked to have seen his Fletch with Jason Lee!

I don't get the Clerks love. Playing hockey on a shit convenience store: put a rock soundtrack in and all of a sudden its cool. I will give it another go someday, but found it vastly over-rated.
As for Smith, you have to admire him a lot for making it. He may be a one trick pony (I haven't seen his other stuff; his DH4 cameo didn't bother me at all, infact I found him amusing) but sometimes, its all it takes

Clerks is such a culturally specific thing, I understand why many don't get it. I saw it when I was 18, living in suburban neighborhoods not very far from where that was filmed, listening to the same type of music from the soundtrack, holding shitty jobs with my burnt-out buddies, etc.
So seeing it was one of those things where, at 18, I was like "This is like somebody filmed me and my friends for a couple of days." Mallrats even more so, just with better production values.

I totally get it; we can all identify with it and most of us lives/d near one of those shitty convenience stores. I used to live near a "Budgens 2" where loads of chavs would hang out and I imagined how I'd feel if Clerks had have been filmed there instead. Right then, I saw through the film's "cool-ness"
I'm fucking impressed with Smith getting it done, however. Top man. An inspiration to all budding film makers

At first I thought it was some kind of racial slur, and I was like "hmmm...how strange, it's not like her to be a bigot". And then she tried explaining it to me. Hilarious.
