That would have been a bold ending. Which is also most likely why it didn't happen.

TheJoker138 posted:Do you not see how an ending where the crazy, gay hating religious people were actually totally right the whole time, and the sins of homosexuality caused the apocalypse might be kind of...you know. Like k.Waste said. Best case scenario God is indifferent and wants to kill literally every person on earth. Worst case scenario the cult is totally right and God is just as evil as they are. Both of these interpretations would make it a more fitting ending to a horror film than what we got.

Once upon a time, after Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back came out, Bob Weinstein had the brilliant idea to cross Jay and Bob over with the Hellraiser movies.Kevin Smith posted:“Yeah, Bob Weinstein said to me one day on the phone, this was after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, he goes, ‘You know what happens with buddy team comedies in the history of cinema?‘” said Smith. “I go, ‘No, what? They stop making them eventually? People get tired?’ And he goes, ‘Think about what Abbott and Costello did. They met the monsters.'”

Kevin Smith is going to kill off an Askewniverse character in Moose Jaws. I'm rolling my eyes at the idea of Silent Bob getting eaten by a loving moose and somehow tying together this series of Canadian horror movies with the Askewniverse. Knowing Kevin Smith, though, this could all be talk and he won't kill the character after all.

That Hellraiser idea is hilarious though. I really don't get how the Weinstein's got to be as successful as they were because all you generally hear are horror stories.

But Jay and Silent Bob would be too goddamn stoned to ever solve the puzzle box in the first place. They'd just halfheartedly dick around with it for five minutes and then Bob would look at Jay without saying anything and Jay would throw it behind the couch and say, "gently caress it, hand me the rolling papers, let's burn one down." Then they'd completely forget about it and go play Xbox or something.

Dante dies. Clerks 3 is about Randall having a mental breakdown, and the whole movie is a daydream in his psychotic mind that is basically Die Hard in the Quickstop. Edit: The second half of the movie is Randall figuring out that he's inside his own head and decides to just do nothing but smoke blunts with Jay and Silent Bob while watching tranny porn and freestyle rapping. Edit: and having gay sex with Dante while Dante screams, "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" poonchasta fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Sep 21, 2015 |

I admit that's kind of embarrassing for Kevin Smith especially if he didn't know that JJ was going to pull that stunt. But he went out there and did his panel (and having a Dad Moment with his daughter presenting) instead of having a Twitter meltdown like it was 2009 all over again and got a chuckle out of it. I get no schadenfreude from this.

I saw Kevin Smith last night at a Q and A. It was pretty awesome actually. He's a funny guy who knows how to tell a good story. He even admitted that he was pretty much out of ideas after Chasing Amy and with the exception of Clerks II, nothing else had the quality of those first movies and that he was trying too hard to stay relevant. At the same time, he raved about how much fun he had making Tusk. Go figure.

Hammer Floyd posted:At the same time, he raved about how much fun he had making Tusk. Go figure. Common thread there, I heard the same thing from him during a Q&A after a con in Miami over the summer. Seems nice, good storyteller, all that, but a lot of the story seemed to come from how he couldn't loving believe he pulled Johnny Depp for Tusk. He also played up his and Depp's daughter's involvement, likely because they're making a movie together. The wife and I were curious to see Tusk after that, so we put it on our Netflix queue. The red envelope has been sitting unopened on my audio system for probably a month now.

It's the most challenging and audacious of Smith's films and, thus, predictably one of the least favored. It's also his best film. In that it's actually good.

Bruce Campbell has more experience dealing with weirdos like Kevin Smith than possibly anyone else on the planet. I'm sure he responded in just the same tone of voice as with every request from an audience member to read a script he brought to a Q&A.

FreudianSlippers posted:I saw Red State recently and I liked it more than I had expected. Sure it's a bit clumsy in places but Micheal Parks really kills it. I just wish they'd wouldn't have chickened out on the ending and actually had the world end. It would've a been a bit stupid but more fun than the ending they went with. I hear they were going to but had to change it for budget reasons but how much money could it cost to have four sinister horsemen, or even just one on a pale horse, appear for a couple of shots? If I remember right the only thing that stopped him from doing the ending he wanted was that the final shot would cost more than the entire rest of the movie. I thought Red State was one of his best movies, if only because it was so unconventional with it's characters and pacing. Even though the other areas are pretty good, the novelty of it makes it more than the sum of it's parts in my eyes.

Dude, let's be real here. If you pay Bruce Campbell he will be in any loving thing you ask him to be in. That's his whole deal, and how he became king of the b movie actors. And a Kevin Smith movie, even current Kevin Smith, is still better than a good 75% of the stuff he's ever done, not to mention a way bigger pay day.

K. Waste posted:It's the most challenging and audacious of Smith's films and, thus, predictably one of the least favored. Finally watched it tonight and can clear that Netflix slot. poo poo, did I post about this thing almost two months ago? I won't deny that Smith seemed to learn how to direct more competently. The whole movie belongs to Michael Parks, though. The extended conversation between Parks and Justin Long's podcaster was pretty great. I knew what I was getting into and this movie sure as poo poo didn't take itself seriously but did have some sparks of genuine unease. If anything, I'd complain about pacing issues after Long gets sewn into the walrus suit. Long's realization that one of his legs was missing was a great way to use him as an audience surrogate; if Smith allowed each of the procedures that Johnny Depp's detective painstakingly described to be shown step-by-step with Long progressively losing his humanity at each turn, I think that would have made for something better. Instead, the transformation happens all at once and the other two protagonists - who clearly mark Long's character as a negative influence in their lives - drop everything and rush to help him, despite the fact that he's been progressively shown to be a douchebag. The movie kind of slammed its narrative brakes at this point. These two don't develop as characters; they're as passive and as influenced by their bombastic friend as they've ever been. Even at the end, they're still visiting him and his girlfriend still mourns him - she can't let him go, as she complained to Osment earlier in the movie.

http://www.avclub.com/article/kevin-smith-finds-perfect-setting-mallbrats-its-ma-225227 Filming of Mallrats 2 commences in January at MY mall. Pretty surreal. Not sure what the appeal is. While it's a great mall, it's pretty tame. It kind of gives off a "too sterile" vibe and there is essentially no culture to speak of, which makes sense because the whole of Exton, PA is a veritable wasteland of strip malls and shopping centers as far as the eye can see. Almost never see any kids in there. Also, there are barely any elevators to have sex in. I guess in terms of a shooting location it's the perfect blank slate but all of its personality was lost in the redesign in the late 90's.

Anybody else could use it to showcase how America's mall culture has completely died out with the advent of online shopping and the like - and thus disassociating consumer culture to socialization, but I'm sure Kevin Smith liked it because it was probably a cheap filming location.

Anyone over the age of 5 could recognize that they're in a mall. Hell one of my co-workers has two kids in their teens and he's always complaining about their hanging out at the mall. And a friend of mine owns his own cutlery store in a mall and year over year he's been doing better and better. I think you might be overselling this just a tad.
