How many rapes do we need in comic books, Kevin?

Everything since Chasing Amy has been funny but missing that instant classic something that the Jersey trilogy had. Here's hoping he's back on track with this one.

Man oh man, I so want this movie to be out. I am one of the people who likes all of Smith's films, and I know I will like this one as well.
Bring on the teaser! -
man, i watched clerks the other night for the first time in a long time. i forgot just how damn funny it is. if clerks 2 makes me laugh half as much, it will be worth my 6 bucks (thank goodness for small town theaters)

This will be garbage..Smith has never done anything with his lif
by the_lion
Smith made Clerks when he was young, then never did anything with his life, so he doesn't have anything to write about or anything to say. So now's he's retreading the first feature he ever did, with characters doing the only kind of real job he ever did... 7/11 and fast food and shit like that. Smith has been washed up since Saving Amy. He has hand-groomed a small army of dickiriding yes-men over at his forum, who will no doubt be showing up here any minute to sing his gay praises. If you want to laugh your ass off, go to Kevin's forum at viewaskew and check out the shameless, embarrassing ass-kissing that goes on over there. He's got a bunch of lost kids over there who are willing to pluck his ass hairs with their teeth if "Kev" just asks them. Smith is being left in the dust by directors like Chris Nolan, Darren Aronofsky, and new directors like Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow), who actually have something to fucking say. Smith isn't even qualified to polish noobie Craig Brewer's fucking rims. Smith, make a decent movie or GTFO.

by the_lion
And he bitched out, hid under his desk, and pretended he never read the challenge. My movie shoots this summer, and my challenge stands, if Smith has the balls to screen any of his movies up against mine at the Wilshire Screening Room in October. AICN talkbackers will be welcome to attend, so they can see Smith get bitchslapped on the silver screen.

I dig most of what he lays down. He's a slacker director who makes slacker films for slackers. And they're usually pretty funny. So what if he's not Spielberg. He's also not Uwe Boll.

Although I still think Passion of the Clerks stinks as a title. I just watched my super edition of the first Clerks the other day and that was funny as hell and stands the test of time. I really hope he doesn't do yet another talkback addressing each of the talkbackers. Shit like that puts him down on the same level of many of the cynical cretins that troll AICN.

They shot the film at a closed-Burger-King-turned-Moobies across the street from where I live. I desperately wanted to sneak on set to let gravity pull my ass cheecks across the Moobies Playground penis slide. Alas, I was never able to get so close.

Who I am at the moment is not important. My identity will be revealed in due time. What I have to say is what is important. I find it ironic that today of all days June 9,2005 I happen to be writing this letter and sending it to your studio when it has to do with Cars a film one year away from being released in theaters. All I am asking for is your time and your attention beyond that you can take what little information I know about 3d animation (which is nothing) but what information I can bring to help the Pixar company. So without further ado. I will tell you WHY CARS WILL SUCK. What my proposal is to keep it fom sucking and Later I will say WHAT THE FUTURE OF PIXAR will be. Trust me it took a long time to write and revise and it's well worth your read.
Cars is gonna suck. The teaser sucked and we all know it. Sure people can defend it saying its just a teaser but thats just holding on the false hope that Pixar is going to turn it from worse to better. So far the worst of the Pixar films is A Bugs Life. Which is not a knock. Even Pixar at their worst is better than others at their best. The film isn't too terrible but its not better than Finding Nemo,Monsters Inc,The Incredibles,Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2. The reason A Bugs Life didn't work and the reason Cars wont is because they deal with two groups people hate. First off people hate bugs and insects. No one ever gets cuddly with a spider or kisses an ant. Bugs are disgusting and people hate them. Our first reaction when we see a fly is to swat it and if its an ant we squash it. Insects are inferior so we destroy them because we can. Secondly people have no emotional connections with machines. Now lets take Cars. Here are the reasons it will go along with A Bugs Life as bad but not so bad.
1) Cars have no emotional attachment with humans. Because a car is a machine. Machines like Bugs are not things people cuddle with. Or what I mean is humans have no connection with them. Machines have an isolating effect on humans. Nobody hugs their computer. Nobody kisses their cell phone. A machine is a tool. Just like a hammer. So unless treated as such the story fails. You can try to make a missile as cute as Nemo but in the end its a missile. It has one purpose to be used by a human which leads me to my next point.
2) No humans populate the world. This is a big mistake. How can you have Cars but no humans? Who built the roads? Who pumps the gas? Other Cars of course. Thats just ludicrous. Imagine Toy Story where its just Toy World. No Humans. Just Toys. It wouldnt work. Cars wont work without Human Beings. Because human beings will watch the movie and find nothing of themselves to relate to. How can the audience which is humans have an emotional connection? Look at Monsters Inc without Boo you lose the child watching. Boo made them relate to entering the Monster world. The best example of a world with cars and humans are those Chevron commercials. Those were clever and feature humans but still failed to get a movie to be released about them because all we saw was the cars. Speaking of releases...
3) Pixar has pushed the release back to becomfortable for all. Now I know usually this means that more time for a project means more time to make it better. I see it as an act of desperation. The film was scheduled to come out November 2005. It will be out June 2006. This is Pixar we are talking about. They have been working on this project for what I can assume is 3-4 years by now. If they have to stop and rework things it has to do with the reaction to the teaser or they feel what they had wasnt good enough and want it to be better. Pixar feels what they've made isnt good enough to be done November 2005. Im sorry to say this and I may be proven wrong. But you cant delay something in hopes for making it better. Lord of the Rings wasnt delayed. Each film had to be out in time for December 2001,2002,2003. Peter Jackson had every reason to ask for more time to make things perfect and there were times when Return of the King was thought to not come out in time for December. But Peter made it. Its not like Pixar said we wont make November we may have to release it a week after or in December 2005. They just pushed it back to a relaxed time for all June 2006. Im sorry but you should never relax on a film. There should always be pressure. People work better under pressure. Dont believe me look at Toy Story 2. Pixar scrapped an idea they had long into production and made what we have now as Toy Story 2.What Pixar didn't do was make excuses and say "Hey America...look we found this amazing Toy Story sequel and the one we've been working on doesnt have Woodys Roundup or Bullseye none of that stuff so were pushing the release to 2000". They didnt do it and they busted their butts to still make the release the studio set. Pixar isn't doing that this time because they think "If we dont need to be rushed or pushed and can settle on June even though we said November then fine." Slow and Steady wins the race right?
4) This film involves Nascar style Racing. Nascar is only watched so cars can blow up. If they dont who cares! Don't hate me for telling the truth. Cars going in circles no matter how fast are boring without collateral damage. Nascar is all about product placement for corporations and driving fast in circles.This does not appeal to kids. In fact this was the part of the teaser most tuned out. The character Lightning Mcqueen is a racecar in a world of cars. Very original profession. Why dont they all just race around all day? Oh thats right they have baby cars to take care of and raise. This story is basically hotshot leaves the fastlane and enters an area where he learns theres more to life than winning trophies and racing. Yaaaaaaawwwwnnnn. Thats like saying your a bomb but theres more to life than just exploding. Oh course theres more to life if there was LIFE. But how can show more of life when there is only a world of Cars. Cars aren't alive their machines. They have no lives but to drive from point A to Point B. You need to treat them as the slaves they are. And I do have an idea to help this story. So fear not and keep reading. Which brings me to final reason this will bomb.
Pixar already has a movie in the works for after the Disney Divorce Ratatouille and Disney is opening a 3D Animation Studio to follow Pixar with a Toy Story 3 and the soon in theaters Chicken Little. Both companies really dont wanna be together and want to go off and do their own thing but they have one more baby together which will go into custody of Disney. All the Pixar babies so to speak are owned by Disney. Disney will do whatever they want with the movies meaning SEQUELS TILL THEY CANT SEQUEL NO MORE. But your probably thinking well if they wanted out so quick why the delay in release? Simple. Pixar wants to make the best possible film. Disney wants to make the best possible money. After the teaser and negative reaction Pixar wants to make the story better they feel more time is needed. June fits that slot. After seeing Nemo do so well in the Summer of 2003 money wise than Incredibles Fall of of 2004. Disney realizes there is Shrek type money to be made in June visa v 300 million or more seeing as how its summer and school is out. If Disney and Pixar could have had the movie out June 2005 it would be. But thats not possible. So we gotta wait one more year. So after having read "WHY CARS WILL SUCK." What do I believe is the future of Pixar. I think they have to go solo or else stay with Disney. If they dont go solo. Whats the point? To trade one dictatorship for another? Right now they have power to make their own Dreamworks style place. If they go to Fox, or WB the same problems that happened with Disney will arise. The problems being MONEY. The only way for Pixar to make MONEY is to go solo. That way they get ever cent. This means Box Office and Merchandising. So if Pixar isnt thinking about going solo they may as well just stay with Disney. Right now Pixar want a George Lucas type deal in which they just want a studio to act as a Distributor. But Pixar needs to ask themselves... Whats it take to get a movie in theaters? The answer: Film Prints and an MPAA rating below R. If you have the money to make film prints and ship em to the theater your film is in theaters. If its not NC-17 or Unrated theaters will accept it and more audiences can get in. What theater would turn down a Pixar film? What Pixar film will ever rate higher than G,PG? Corporations will then pay Pixar for tie ins. Pixar has to decide solo or bust. Bust meaning stay with Disney. But what does this mean? Well by going solo it will mean complete freedom. Freedom is good because Pixar can do whatever they want. But in a way Pixar is now responsible. If their film bombs they will have to have major lay offs. If a Pixar film bombs today then Disney takes the blow since it was their money they invested. If Pixar is independent now its Pixar's money on the line and they end up becoming A CORPORATION. They will have to please their share holders the same way Disney does and have a business mind instead of an artistic one. You cant strike gold forever. Eventually audiences will tire of these cute talking animal 3d films. Especially now with more and more of them coming out from Dreamworks, and Blue Sky. If a Pixar flick bombs they will have to sell out their characters the way Disney does with cheap sequel style DVDS or TV Shows just to make money to support themselves. Right now Pixar may be under Disneys management but they dont have the responsibilities Disney does. They can take 4 years project to project. Heck after Incredibles they could have made a film in 2010 and not lose a sweat. They are in control of when they wanna work. If they go solo. They suddenly have 700 animators to feed. These people need stability. And if Pixar doesnt release a film every year or every two years these animators dont get paid. And if the film sucks and bombs like say Catwoman did. Its bad all over. To have ultimate Freedom one must pay the ultimate price and endure Hardship and Responsibility. Just ask Adam and Eve. In a way Pixar are kids and Disney parents. Kids can leave home and be free of their parents rules "Be Home at certain time. No friends No TV etc... " But now when they live freely they have to get a job and pay for their homes and be responsible. Pixar feels grown up and is tired of dealing with its Parents Disney and want bigger allowances and less strict rules or theyre moving out. You get the analogy. In the end those who fight monsters should be careful not to become them. Pixar will eventually be a Disney one day and then they'll have the theme parks and all that jazz then some small little company will come out of nowhere and save their butt and the same thing will happen. Its the circle of life. They should learn from Disney and get off their high horse because they have had a hot streak. Selling out and cashing in go hand in hand. Disney thinks money is essential to a company Pixar says its story. Neither are wrong. Lots of Money is needed but its nothing without a good story to invest in. Both are too stupid to see they need each other. I vote that Disney and Pixar stay together even with the way things are now. Let Disney worry about the money side of things and Pixar worry about the story. Its been working since 1995 and it seems in 2006 is when it wont because Pixar has worried about the wrong things. (Money) When they need to worry about their side of things and telling stories.
Their next story about talking cars in a world without humans has potential to be a bad movie.The best it can hope for is to be entertaining and have some kids like it and adults not hate it but not really love it. It wont be a masterpiece like Finding Nemo but like A Bugs Life it will be an enjoyable two hours even though it doesnt measure up to the prior great films. How can I make such a claim? Am I physic? No. But as fan of Disney and a huge fan of Pixar I place them on a pedastal. It may seem like I want Cars to suck but I dont. If I did I'd sit back and do nothing. By writing this I am doing something. It may seem that I dont understand why Pixar wants to leave Disney because I'm an outsider, but sometimes you have to stand back and look at things on the outside to see things clearer than if you were standing on the in. A world where cars have cartoon eyes and no humans driving them just feels wrong and uninspired. It feels like something a competitor would do but not Pixar. Not the company that gave me Toy Story. A story where even though the toys were alive they had rules to adhere to. They dont talk with humans or walk around like their humans.They know they are toys. You dont see Prospector start a website or open a business. He's a toy and he knows it. Granted he has intelligence he knows he cant change what he is. All toys want is to be loved and played with and as a human being we can relate with that. We can relate with emotions like jealousy or wanting to be loved the most. In A Bugs Life while Flik does make a point about who the weaker species is, he still cant change Nature. He is still a small bug and other grasshoppers will come along. Its a classic happy ending. Its like leaving a Dictator to form your own colony and fade to black. The problem is how do you stay free of dictators. Eventually other grasshopper will take over its a circle of life and Bugs Life just ends with if things suck change them and theyll never suck again. How does Flik plan to stop future grasshoppers unless he can adopt Hoppers methods of squashing them? Eventually war must happen and the Bird wont always be around to save him. I know I may have gotten off topic but at least Toy Story 2 makes mention to the fact that one day Andy will grow up and leave Woody. It doesnt end with everything is always gonna be happy like this with Andy forever and ever. The Toys except their fate. In Finding Nemo Marlin asks Dori "How do you know something bad isnt gonna happen." To which Dori says "I dont." Then Marlin lets go. This shows Marlin accepting that bad things may or may not happen regardless and he needs to calm down. It may end happy but that doesnt mean humans wont return to the reef or Barracudas. Marlin chooses not to focus on that fear to keep him prisoner.
Sure I may be reading into these film endings to much since Monsters Inc and Incredibles have "happy endings" like Bugs life. But Pixar is a company that wants to push the limits of storytelling. I dont deny that Lasseter and his team arent trying to make the best film possible given the bad climate. But they need to ask themselves. What is this story saying to an audience? And I may be jumping the gun on Cars saying how its a fame cant buy happiness type story but Pixar has made no change and it's still a film where the hot shot Car takes a turn on Route 66 and finds out what hes been missing in his life.
But what if Pixar changed the story from something trite and cliche to something unexpected? A film where Humans do inhabit the world. Where Lightning Mcqueen adheres to the rules of such a world. Where he sees how all the other Cars on the track are machines at the mercy of the humans. Where he realizes car races are determined not by the hardware but by the Drivers? Man is god in his world. Man is creator. Here is my idea.
We open on a race with Lightning Mcqueen and he knows hes got the ability to be the fastest car on the track. He knows he is the fastest and he wants to prove it. He wants the trophy so bad. More than anything in his life. But its not up to him. It's up to his driver. His driver Steve is fixed. Paid off to lose the race to a car named Lucky Dan. Lucky Dan always wins because hes so lucky. Wrong. Because the other drivers let him cuz their fixed too. The cars have no say in this even though they can speak and think they don't question it and they dont talk with the humans. Its the order of things. No need in getting worked up about it Lucky Dan always gets lucky in the end. Just shut up and go along for the ride. Lightning has to accept it as well until one day he sees an advertisement on the Jumbo Tron. It's about this Hybrid car that can speak and drive all by itself! Thats right NO DRIVER! It uses a computer navigation system and its going to be at this Auto Museum on Sunday only. The directions cant be heard because the crowd gets lowder and the engines rev. The race starts but Lightning notices the advertisement features a map with ROUTE 66 on it.The race starts and on the final lap his wheels swerve outta control and he crashes. The race ends Lucky Dan wins again. But Lightning doesnt care. Nor does he care that he's all banged up. He's gotta see this Hybrid car and talk to it. He's gotta get himself a computer navigation system. Could it really be true a car with NO DRIVER! He's got one chance to find out and its this Sunday. But where? The advertisement said an Auto Museum near ROUTE 66. Lightning so excited forgets how can he get there? He cant drive himself. His driver Steve sure wont. How? How? How? Suddenly Lightning is hooked up to this Tow car. (The tow car that had the bumble bee hit his eye.) He's driven off the track and taken to a Local Mechanic's Shop. The Mechanic tells Steve he'll have to order the parts special and he'll have to leave the car in the shop over the weekend. This is great news for Lightning now he has time to scheme but wait....He is lifted off the ground. No No! No! This is all wrong! He's stuck on a conveyor belt. He'll be stuck on this thing till the parts come back. He's doomed. But at the same time a young boy named Rodger Steele...Rod for short comes in late for work. Rod is a little bit older than Dash from Incredibles. He helps his Uncle around the shop on weekends. He loves to be around cars and wants to be a racer some day too. If only he could afford a race car and had a drivers license. But at his age he can't get one. Though that doesnt deter him from driving. The Tow truck tells Lightning that he'd better watch out for "Ol Steal Rod" he sometimes takes out cars to drive when his Uncle leaves the shop. He himself has been stolen on occasion for a quick drive. Lightning then gets an idea. He may be risking it but he can get Rodger to drive him to the Museum. It's worth a shot even if he has to expose himself. After Rods Uncle leaves he goes for it. Rod stays behind while a thunderstorm brews. Lightning starts to make noises which scare Rod. Rod hears this voice and wonders where its coming from. Lightning tells him to look up and Rod screams. THE CAR IS TALKING! IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE! Lightning tells the boy not to worry it's ok. He was brought to life by the uhhh lightning storm! Just like Frankenstein. (Which is what Rod happens to be watching on the TV) He's here to punish Rod for stealing those cars without his Uncles consent!...Rod is terrified! He's sorry....dont punish him. Well that all depends...He must do a good deed. Anything! Anything! He must take this car too a Museum near Route 66 on SUNDAY!......Which museum?....Um err I dunno THE ONE NEAR ROUTE 66 SHOWCASING THE NEW HYBRID CAR OR ELSE!...Or else what? ...OR ELSE RODGER I SHALL MAKE IT SO YOU NEVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.... Rod is convinced. Rod lowers the car and gets inside but notices its stick shift. He cant drive stick shift! A funny gag ensues of him trying to teach Rod to drive stick shift and leave the shop but he cant... Both decide its better if Rod drives manual. But then how will Rod take Lightning along with him?...They look over at the Tow Truck. Rod then steals the tow truck and Lightning is hooked on..... They set off onto Route 66...
Thats all I will say so far about the story. Though I do have it all in my head as to when they get to the Museum and meet the Hybrid. Now some background. I am not a screenwriter living in Hollywood. I'm a Pixar fan and I happen to be 19 years old living in Hialeah Florida. I have attended Magic Kingdom more times than I can count and have been sick to death of Disneyworld but I still love it because it was my childhood. I'm a fan nothing more nothing less. I love Pixar and would love it if whoever is working there would look through all the negative I said and realize it was harsh criticism and not cynisicm. I want Cars to be the best film it can be and from the reaction I noticed in theaters and online people feel its gonna suck. I felt it too. This all began as a column I wrote for myself and thought of putting up on IMDB. But I knew no one would care or read a super long post from some kid that was basically bashing the number one studio in the world. Who the hell am I to tell Pixar what they should and should not do? Who am I to say what works and will not work? As of this moment I dont exist except on paper. I'm not some ex disgruntled employee or even some producer behind the scenes at Disney trying to stir up shit. I am a 19 year old boy who loves movies. I am proposing that if you can you will get my story idea to the powers that be. Not because I want it or because I took the time to write this but because it feels right. I know It sounds egotistical to tell a multi billion dollar company with a slew of Oscars who they should listen to. But you should listen to me. I believe in my Cars story and I believe in Pixar. I know what I'm proposing is ludicrous. Redesign the current film for June 9 2006 on some fan's idea? But it's not impossible. I still dont know what it is you guys have done till now and all I know is what I can ascertain from your website and the teaser. I still kept Lightning Mcqueen and the Tow Truck. Those dont need to be reanimated just bring the actors back in for some new dialogue and quickly touch up some animations. The boy Rod Steele is basically Dash in a sense. Just needs a new updated design and voice actor. Any other humans or cars can be taken from what you've worked on now. Route 66 is still in tact and as it stands nothing is set in stone. All thats changed really is the story. With some new additions. Its not going to be a piece of cake but it is possible to have the story of Lightning Mcqueen the car on a journey through Route 66 to find out about a car that requires no driver with the help of a Tow Truck and a young boy named Rodney "Rod" Steele who drives him. There will be many dangers along the way and many obstacles and all three will be changed by the end but I can guarantee you it's a journey worth taking. It's a story worth telling. And I hope my story is worth telling too. The story of a boy who sent a letter to Pixar with no ultimatums or threats but with honesty and sincerity. I didn't come to bash but to offer an idea and a reason as to whats going on and how I can help. I said before talking cars wont work but with my story they do and with yours they dont because the cars aren't meant to be just humans as cars but machines with intelligence and desire. The Lightning in my story cant be anything but what man wants him to be. He'll make us feel guilty when we drive our cars as to "I wonder how my car would feel." Look at the difference between Shark Tale and Finding Nemo.Which one is the masterpiece. The one where fish have cities and news reporters or the one where a father fish has a lost son in a vast sea of peril? With your story cars watch other cars race instead of just racing. Cars build other cars and everything is as it is like human beings. I find that hard for people to believe, Granted the fact the car is talking period is already a suspension of belief but that in itself is the what if part. What if Cars could talk and we as humans didn't know? Its the same concept as Toy Story except what seperates toys from cars is free will. Woody can move around and walk without Andy. A car without a driver is a paperweight. And a character without a desire is useless. What would a Car desire? What does Lightning desire? To have free will. Why? So he can be the fastest car when he wants whenever he wants. He doesnt want free will so he can drive around the country and see the sights. He just wants to beat Lucky Dan in a race because he knows he can. And I wanted to send this letter because I know I can. I dont need to be rich and famous or have a degree in film to exchange ideas or give opinions to Pixar or any studio. You may have the right not to read or listen to what I or others say but I have a right to talk and exchange ideas. And even if you dont read this letter or if you do and you laugh your butt off at all the run on sentences or the great length I went to talk about something you think I dont have a clue about I'll know next June 9, 2006 when I pay my ticket for Cars of the Cars movie that could have been. I'll know that when audiences come out and say "Eh that wasn't as good as their other ones but it was still cute" I can say... "Well I had an idea for Cars that I sent to Pixar." And they say "Oh what was it..." I'll be able to tell them exactly what was said here in this letter. I want to thank whoever had the burden of opening and reading this and the burden of having the choice to either pass this information along with someone else or throw it straight in the garbage. Your decision no matter what the outcome and time spent will be greatly appreciated by me forever. So to whoever you are thank you and goodbye.
P.S.As I lied in bed. I started thinking about what the hell I just wrote. Out of all those words I wrote above it still feels like it all lead to one word. No. That -
I know why he has such a huge jaw, because people keep breaking it after listening to his coke riddled ramblings for more than an hour on the same point. "Ok, so it's poignant, right? It's poignant because the guys are still at the kiwi mart. They're still at the kwiki mart after all these years and it's poignant because they're still there, right? It's poignant." STFU.

I just felt like posting it again. The Brad Bird thing was a faux and even though this is a Clerks 2 thing I thought in the vain of making Road To Rodrgiuez a short film on all of my report I figure why the hell not.

Because otherwise you just wasted a good chunk of your life writing that... Actually, even if it does sucks, are you really better off for having written that? There is no way pixar would even take that seriously, you didn't even flesh out your story. Oh, and people said that "the incredibles" were going to suck, too, and look how that turned out. Besides, Pixar and Disney are THIS close to being back together, so I wouldn't worry about Toy Story 3 just yet (besides, Pixar has been kept in the loop on it's development since day 1, anyway).
I'm betting Cars will be awesome, as we usually get from Pixar, but who knows. -
The announcement of a trailer is not news. What it is is Kevin Smith bait. This article exists solely to make us talk, so that Kevin Smith can cut-and-paste and then roast us all on his own message boards. Fun. Please someone tell him his wife's ears are big and that he can't write comics on time or that Jersey Girl sucked. C'mon, guys! He'll make you famous!

wheres the trailer!

"Saving Amy" ...heh...

Good one, The_Lion. Are you gonna go with that as the title? Huh? Because I'm giving you a chance to change your answer.

Just check the CARS trailer story about a month ago.

Seems like they pretty much dug it but had some suggestions. If there was a bit of uncomfortableness, I'd guess it was because it's pretty hard to judge someone's work when the guy is standing right there. Seriously, you watch a movie and the next day you could probably have a reasoned discussion with the director about likes/dislikes. But to have a guy show you something warts and all and have to comment on it the second the credits stop rolling? Tough. Very tough.

If your going to diss the mans work have the decency to get the title correct. Its bad enough were all nobodies on a web board but whether it's you dissing smith or me dissing Cars, we musn't have errors. Perfection must be found in every facet of what we type for if we mispell something people immediately write us off. My report has stopped being read simply because I didn't put commas, and periods in places. Among many other reasons. True perfection has to be imperfect. My favorite replies have to be those who say "This guy should just write his own movie." The whole point of the report was that I did but since it was taken from an existing storyline what would be the point? Well either way I dont want to say too much except expect a short film that chronicles this report entitled Road To Rodriguez.

Actually, Smith's career is a duplicate of Lucas' career
by darth bono jr.
Neither one has found much success outside of their first big hit. Not quite one-hit-wonders (especially Lucas, since his true "hit" made him millions and allowed him to make so-so lesser hits outside of the Star Wars world). One guy can't move past clerking. The other guy is mostly a failure if Jedis aren't involved.
-
He rocks! Cos he writes beautifully, cos he has the guts to put something out there and take the potshots from a bunch of "ma se...." (South African colloquism". And I can't watch Chasing Amy cos it's so painful, so real, so tender, I turn into blubbering idiot. Cos there's nothing to better to watch when you pissed of at the world than Dogma, cos it's fucks with your head and turns dialogue into music with a strong cadence.
So all you fucking IDIOTS, who hate Kevin Smith..........
Who cares about you????

The thing Kevin did with QT and Rodriguez reminds me of Saved By The Bell. They all were in that class of hot new filmmakers of the early nineties.Quentin is Zach Morris (work with me here), Rob is Slater, and poor Kevin is Screech. Tarrentino and Rodriguez personify coolness, but Kev, even though he may have a heart of gold (heh) and occasionally says some intelligent shit, he doesn't, and will never, fit in. Nope, he just tries his best (supposedly) but just ends up embarassing himself. And just like AC and Zach, they don't have the heart to tell him just what a loser he is. (Speaking of Saved by the Bell, did anyone see that Over There episode where Zach got his head chopped off by terrorists? Of course you didn't, not many did, the shit got canceled......but, like I was saying......ZACH-FUCKING-MORRIS GOT HIS GAWD DAMNDED MOTHER FUCKING HEAD CHOPPED OFF!!! Troops came in guns-a-blazin' and didn't think the guy holdin' a sword over his head was a immediate threat, one swipe and that cat Morris looked like a resident of Sleepy Holler. Yes, I said Holler. I'm southern. You got a problem with that?)

Spidermanbait. Jeeeeeeeeeeesus! You nned to sign up for front line training right now! ok that may have been a little harsh. But what exactly does it take for you to have such an obsession? I mean, Do you even realise what you've done. Ok, I'm not a fool, you wrote this and posted it once before. But this time I actually bothered to read some of it. I tried to read more, but christ almighty, it's like my hand grew a brain and I had to use real mental power to prevent my hand from fast forwarding through it. I mean, fuck dude. how can you seriously give sucha shit about 'Cars'?? I went and saw Narnia the other day "Good flick, if you reprograme you're brain to 7 and a half years old, and out of all the trailers - 'Nanny poppins' (Or some shit) 'Valiant' ....and something else I'm not sure, CARS was actually somewhat of an impressive sight to behold. the animation of today is mesmerizing. I swear every pixar film I just keep saying to myself, 'how can it get any better that this?" But it does. Because sometimes I find myself looking at a mountain landcape and trying real hard to figure out if the damn thing is even real!! 'Zarutha' that was the other Trailer. Now that look way cool. Yet another switch your brain to 'under 10' mode. What was King Kong? It felt like, swiiiiiiiitch yooooooooour braaaaaaaaaaain tooooooooooooo slooooooooooow moooooooooooode. Anyway Spiderbait. i think you're a fucking champion. i mean, you just kept going and going and you had the fucking balls to re-post it here. now. i mean, what if Kevin comes back and does his thing. Oh. I think I just got it. You're a genius man. You fucking cut down Smith better than the Lion ever could have dreamt. Dreamt is a word, right? Ok, so nows I gots to go and read over the posts that have accumulated since last I posted, and sure enough I'll be reading over my post and seeing all the ugly spell mistakes and bad grammer I'm forever doing. But it sounds good in my head, and I can assure you all that when I'm in front of my class telling them how good I am and how they will learn masterfully from me, that I actually speak quite distinguished like. ya dig. that reminds me. hold tight I gotta go ..... inhale. brb. ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... .......... ........... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... ..................... ............ ....... ........ ............ ..... ............... ...... . . .... .......... Oh, thats right, I was on Aint it cool posting to some cock who didn't know how to keep it short and sweet. I was thinking while I was out . um. walking. what makes a psycho path. Is it I who wonders unsure if my hair could do with a wash after 3 weeks of just hot water rincing, or is it the younger I who would actually bother to send a letter to a hollywood studio to offer my fantastic advice. I swear that the guys running star trek would have still been in business to day had they listened to my plea. But those fuckers did not give a shit! Sort of like how I don't think Pixar would give a shit! about your letter Spiderbait. you see, Pixar, like star Trek is a multi gagillion dollar business, formed long before you even new what a digital mamapxar ostulater animation thingy was! And my friend. ... fiend..... let me tell you, they are in no danger of losing any cash. wait till they start making Boats. then you'll know somethings going down the crapper. Or even wait until they start making . um. I don't know, some stupid shit that makes you suspect the creative pool is drying up. Dude, write a letter to Dreamworks. those fuckers are in danger of massive failure with their bird movie. i mean, I'm not a hater. Actually, i am. but hear me out. This film's trailer was pathetic. I hope they're saving their best shit for the actual film. but something tells me the best shit is the 'darling have something before you leave" "Mom... MOM!!!" that was fucci. I meant to right funny, but fucci kinda sound fucking funny. The poitn being, I new it was coming. I could tell it was a joke set up and it was weak. made me laugh but it was a grown laugh. as in 'eeeeeeeeew heh" (extreme breath out in 'can't be arsed to really laugh') So yeah, fuck off with the long posts hey. they're boring as monkey spoof. actually monkey spoof might actually be interesting.

I thought I remembered Smith saying that people like Affleck wouldn't be in the flick, that he'd be exploring his roots, so to speak; yet Affleck, Lee, and Suplee are all in the trailer. Granted they all look like they have small parts, but I thought he said he'd avoid even cameos. ::shrug:: Good to see Kevin Weisman (a.k.a. the only watchable part of Alias) in there though. I'm still looking forward to this, though still with mild trepidation.

Since when do kids not love the shit out of bugs and cars?

by doom ii
No other director is as loyal to his fans as Kevin is. Sure, he's not everyone's taste, but who is? Michael Bay? George Lucas? Rob Reiner? Cameron Crowe? All those directors have fans and all have haters, but NONE are as kind to their fans as Kevin is. He realizes that he has a nice house, lots of extra cash and a chance to make more movies thanks to his fans. I am not a Smith apologist either. I do not like Dogma or Jersey Girl so much, but am a big Clerks, Mallrats & Amy fan. I have met 5 directors in my life and Kevin is one of the nicest in person (although a bit stressed out at Vulgarthon). My ONLY 3 beefs with Smith is his willingness to whore himself out on shitty tv shows (Tonight Show, Yes Dear, Veronica Mars, Degrassi), his insistence on putting his ex-journalist (non-acting) wife in everything now and his hatred of Family Guy. Other than that, he's cool.
-
Seriously, tight editing.
-
Great show. Yes I saw Paul Mark Goesellar (however you spell that shit) get beheaded in that episode he plays a journalist. Great show with lotsa swearing and violence. Still cannot touch the new Galactica as far as coolness goes. NO tv show comes close to Galactica (except My Name Is Earl).....

by axelfoley
With all due respect to the "respect patrollers" on this board, what validation do we need that this guy sold out along time ago. It's not a crime to sell out, the guy couldn't be making fart jokes and J&S Bob banter till he was 70. I applaud him for making Jersey Girl, a considerable break from his normal style us mid-twenty somethings have come to enjoy since we were in middle school and proclaimed him brilliant at recess....But just bare in mind one thing, ok? Clerks II is nothing different than saying "I Got Nothing, I'm Plunging Back to the Old Stuff: The Motion Picture". Don't you worry your little tail off, I'll still be there opening night even though the movie will probably suck more cock than Lightstormer at a nightclub. I mean Clerks made know in this overly PC, celebrity fawning environment. Oh, and we also have the token Wanda Sykes appearance. A cynically bitter jaded miserable woman who also happens to be untalented and misused. Expect a Good Charlotte or Hives appearance right? They're hip, maybe---maybe Smith will through in copies of Chasing Amy as a sign of good faith for their cooperation. Will Travis Barker be playing a customer? This movie will be Hollywoodized, Kevin with all due respect sir, wasn't you original supposed to be a statement against glossy pop star mainstream bullshit? -
my new years resolution was to ignore talkbacks and just read the articles. some how i forgot and read some of your ignorant bullshit.
-
I sincerely hope you directed that bullshit at "Herc" -
"Why ain't they mo' black people in yo' movies, you racist!" Terrific. Well, otherise, I'm still interested. I don't know why some people are busting Smith's balls for going back to the well. It's good enough for Spielberg and Smith never pretended to be Spielberg.
-
This should be called Jersey Girl 2: Hey, Remember me? I Made Clerks!
-
The former because he couldn't get Jason Lee the lead, the latter because he is (of his own admission) too much a pussy to take on a big-budget action film. Kevin, I think it's time for you to finally admit that you and Affleck are gayer than 10 guys fucking 11 guys. Just come on out. It'll be your watershed, "Brokeback" moment in time.

after i watched it i was speechless. it looks godawful. it was so cool in the first one, they were working at a videostore and a convience store having fun...laughs. This one they are working at a Macdonalds type place...theres all these wacky celebrity cameos as customers....wanda sykes, ben affleck, guy from alias...it looks so horrible. Why must hollywood rape all of my childhood memories? Kevin Smith's wife is playing the main love interest...what the fuck is with Kevin hiring his stupid wife all the time? At least when Rob Zombie hires his wife shes hot and shes a good actress and appropriate for the role. I used to love Jay and Silent Bob too but I think there act is done, it used to be exciting to see what they do next...no its just like "dude, enough already". Back in the "Chasing Amy" days when Kevin was talking about giving the characters a rest I was like "noooo i want more!" now its just like "dude, give the guys a rest already, what are you, forty?". I'm so depressed...the only thing worse is like if Spielberg remade "A Clockwork Orange" or something. Kevin Smith - another dead hero in my mind -
Meet you at the Wilshire screening room and do what?

Just because I say it's the worst, like I said above, it's still above and beyond so many films.

He's like a lot of people in the greater Los Angeles area... because he wants to be in the entertainment industry a whole lot and yet isn't very talented or interesting, he therefore believes that talent and hardwork have nothing to do with "making it" or else... you know... he'd have to throw out his dreams. So what's the next-best theory for someone who can't deal with that reality? They have to believe that there's just gonna be a wacky "discovery" story for everyone and, moreover, you can create one, you can make one, you can con it or force it. Or else, again, there's no hope for him. So... he stumbles over these boards and sees that Kevin Smith's posting on them, briefly, and convinces himself that this is HIS MOMENT. This is somehow his big break, being in the same cyber-realm as someone rich or famous... and how, oh how, can he turn this into his own fame and fortune? How can he stand out, how can he make himself noticed? Let's face it, the guy's probably a big fan of Kevin's work, to be so fixated on him, to be so desperate to breathe the same air as the guy. So... he gets this idea that maybe the way to do it is the old "duck season, rabbit season" way, through reverse psychology. To pose as such a virulent non-fan that Smith would have to respect him for his opinion or something. Maybe it's some sort of childish image in the Lion's head of, you know, a filmmmaker who came up through the independent avenue and only "respecting" you if you insult him or something, I don't know, I mean the whole line of thinking is rubbish. He's really just throwing anything he can against the wall to get an audience with someone who might have the power to make his dreams come through... it's the desperate thrashing of a child, kicking and screaming for a toy on the sick linoleum floor of a Target. He thinks that if he can posture with enough "tude" and "edginess" he can get Smith to show up to his movie and then... he'll see that the Lion's a genius or whatever (which I doubt, when the guy's career development involves trying to goad a director on a message board in a strategy lifted from a Daffy Duck cartoon) and he'll be handed a Standard Rich and Famous Contract from the end of The Muppet Movie and he'll finally know the soft warmth of a woman's touch and... etc etc. It's just a really transparent con that would be funny if it wasn't so achingly sad and doomed to failure.
