Roman Polanski actually raped somebody .. and got a standing ovation at the oscars .. over time ive gotten the impression of smith as an ‘accidental director’ .. a pop culture enthuaiast who did ‘luck out’ .. that said i still get confused about the hatred .. nobody cares .. i blame this on Sean .. XD .. you knew it would go there!

Agreed about “Chasing Amy” not dating well at all. I have to say though, I hated it 1st time around but it was mainly the whole “changing a gay person round” thing I found cringe worthy. It was likely well made and written for the time but it didn’t connect to me.

the guy is a joke. I loved Clerks (when it came out), thought Mallrats had charm, despite serious flaws, and I really liked Chasimg Amy when it came out. Hated Dogma, and everything since. Just rehashing jokes, nodding to others, a no talent has been, and does huge sacks of hockey/football shirts are fucking stupid looking. I saw him tell a guy that was heckling him before to wear black if you were over weight, clearly he doesn’t abide.

watched Chasimg Amy again, and it had dated terribly, should have left it confined to memory

I think your first sentence sums up my feelings. I’ve really grown tired of this guy. I’d be interested to find out what “fresh” take he has on a concept that has been already in place (film review podcasts, discussions, panels etc) for the last 5 years by 1000’s of people?

By now I’m sure that Smith’s early success was an accident – this guy’s only talent is his big mouth. He’d be an awesome car salesman. Or a leader of a cult…but I guess that happened already….

No, don’t retire Kevin! We need Return of the Jay and Silent Bob, Silent Bob: The Jay Menace, The Clone Jays, and The Revenge of the Silent SithBobs! Who will blog being too obese to fly, critique movies, and have a billion boring podcasts no one listens to, I mean, besides all those other fat guys on the internet that do that?

If Kevin Smith “magically” gets a clogged artery or diabetes or sweaty man-tits, then I know it’ll be Kasper’s hating on him to blame. Nothing should stand in the way of another pretentious movie about Catholicism, Homosexuality, or Conservatives that is as deep as a puddle.

And internet people “love on” a movie? Is this the same guy that made a movie with a profanity-laced tirade against internet movie fans in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

I’m so tired of Kevin Smith. Just retire and disappear into obscurity already, please.

I don’t really understand his point. Every movie review podcast I listen to (FilmJunk, Row Three, Comedy Film Nerds) do exactly what he’s talking about – geek out about movies. Does this mean that there’s only going to be positive things said about movies on this show? I respect that he wants to take a different approach, I’m just confused as to how well it’s going to work.
