Kevin Smith baiting - one of these idiots fave passtimes!
I like Kevin's films, and I did meet him ever so briefly at the opening
of the Stash in Westwood - he seemed like a good guy, signed some stuff for me, and actually thanked me for waiting 6 hours to get in.
But jeepers, in nearly everything I've seen him in as far as commentary
and live Q&A's, he just seems REEEALLY pretentious. In the most
recent Q&A done at the Arclight for "Mallrats", he seemed like a real
jerk, the way he responded to some of the questions. Maybe he's getting sick and tired of fans. Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's joking or if he's
being totally serious, with some of the stuff he says. I do know that he's getting too old for the "dick-pussy-fart" humor seems to be a dominant factor in his personality. It's fine in your teens and 20s, but c'mon, the guy is 35. Time to let a bit of that stuff go. Of course, 99% of us have our off days and can be pricks. Does anyone know this guy well, and IS he nice, or not? Does he talk the same way to close friends like Jason Lee and Affleck the same way he talks to everyone else? I'm guessing not, but I could be wrong.
i was watching an evening with kevin last night he talked about not be coming pauly shore well guess what kevin you have your movies have been great but what the *beep* not making the green hornet film to make clerks 2 thats *beep* and to this i say *beep* you man up make something different from anything you have made before cause a 40 year old pot smokeing loser has gotten old i hope this message finds you cause as much as i have loved your films in the past i say *beep* clerks 2 *beep* you

That's how I feel about Kevin Smith, he's dumbing down the popular tastes with his self conscious talky comic book lovin' *beep* The guy can't direct a picture worth a damn even though he works with fantastic crews, great DPs, and large budgets and yet he won't give it up to live a life of screenwriting because he would have to give up his stature as a self aggrandizing iconoclast douchebag. I'd like to punch him in his fat f ucking head.
He got fired from a FLETCH SEQUEL, if that doesn't tell you about how hard this guy probably is to work with and how wholly untalented he is than I don't know what will.
And he's EVERYWHERE, you can't avoid him, popping up in cameos, defending or promoting his celebrity douchebag friends.
And look at the *beep* he talked about Tim Burton (including a RIDICULOUS allegation that Burton stole from Kevin's stupid comic books that nobody but 30 year old virgins read in their mother's basements), and Paul Thomas Anderson, at least PTA took the high road and was friendly to the jerk as Kevin even said as much himself, I bet when he was walking away from the conversation he was just thinking "God what a fat stupid piece of *beep*
