Sure, he's not exactly a real amazing director but he's solid but his dialogue is some of the best I've ever heard. He writes extremely entertaining movies that involve a lot of talking.

Don't know who he is? Oh you probably do.

I haven't seen Mae Day: The Crumbling of a Documentary. And obviously I haven't seen Zack and Miri Make A Porno or Red State, but I'm excited for both. It'll be interesting to see the guy make a straight up horror movie (Red State).

But I can honestly say I love most of his movies, though I prefer Clerks 1 and 2. The only movie of his I don't love is Mallrats but it's still really funny regardless.

Oh, and so the first post isn't completely massive, I also love just hearing the guy talk (I own a book of his that's just some of his columns and it was great)... so here's some choice videos of the guy:

I too love Kevin Smith. I've never seen Chasing Amy, or Jersey Girl though. But Clerks I & II..hilarious. I'm surprised you didn't "love" Mallrats. As for him talking, again, I agree! I love his story about Prince, lol.

I want his two dvds, An Evening With Kevin Smith and An Evening With Kevin Smith: Evening Harder.
I still really like Mallrats, it just hasn't gotten to the point of the others. A lot of critics hate Jersey Girl but I thought it was really affective... but I'm in a minority here.

Yea, Jersey Girl just never seemed like a movie I really wanted to see. Same with Chasing Amy. It's not that I won't watch them, just never have. I have the 2nd dvd, Evening Harder. It's alright...but I prefer the first Evening With Kevin Smith.

if you can find his blog on google he always has something interesting to say... from when he takes a shit to jerking off to having sex with his wife to telling his kids about sex... i mean he doesn't hold anything back... you should really check it out.... hold on lemme see if i can find it.

My Boring Ass Life

lol you had to include the "hold on, let me find it", eh?

sure did, and if it bothers you that much you could always just ignore my post...

Well, I usually do that anyway. I only mentioned it because I found it funny...I do it too, don't think I was insulting you. It's funny how when you type, you're mind still acts as though you were speaking.

i did it for humor... i find it more realistic to do talk to people as though we are all sitting at a local restaurant shooting the shit.
