I'd go see it just for the novelty of saying I did so, but the one theater within walking distance of my apartment won't be screening it anytime soon it seems.

So today I learned there's a Kevin Smith biopic coming out in just a few months (In the UK at least): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_Clerks. Are you guys ready for the story of the making of Clerks?

My issue with Tusk is that it is a body horror film but with your typical Kevin Smith characters. Like you could imagine the Wallace character popping up in Clerks or something before he was walrusificated. Smith tries to move away from this somewhat by expanding his reference pool slightly, but it doesn't come off as very genuine. Did anyone really believe for a second Wallace actually read anything by Hemingway? Or that Smith hadn't simply Googled The Rime of the Ancient Mariner while writing the script? As a result of all of this the movie seems really weird and tonally inconsistent, though I give Smith credit for trying something new and weird (For him at least) even if the final product wasn't completely successful.

How do you interpret the decision to include the podcast clips in the film's credits then, where Kevin Smith laughs his rear end off while coming up with the plot points beat for beat of the movie that we had just finished watching? The movie seems to be a black comedy to me, with occasional horror elements.

And now apparently a sequel to Mallrats is in the works... http://www.imdb.com/news/ni58397643/?ref_=nv_nw_tn_2

Four Score posted:I don't know a lot about this Kevin Smith guy aside from Clerks but it seems like every young adult self-described cinephile I've met has been erect and/or moist at the mention of Kevin Smith. Really? Most cinephiles I've known either don't like the guy or find him just disappointing and never really living up to the "promise" he showed back in the early '90's.

zandert33 posted:This would be good and all, aside from the fact that the name "Guy Lapointe" started as a joke in a Smodcast episode where they were joking about people stealing maple syrup. The name means nothing, it's an inside joke. Even if it started as an inside joke, that doesn't mean it still doesn't function/can't be read as the way that K. Waste argues.

DrVenkman posted:It's no wonder that Bruce Willis chewed him out. So what exactly did Bruce Willis say? I've heard Kevin Smith say quite a few negative words about Willis, but not the other way around.

I don't know why you're comparing Kevin Smith to Dawn of the Dead of all things, but that is a patently ridiculous argument.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Even if you find it trite, or whatever, the filmmaking in Dawn and what Romero does with its small budget is astonishing. I watched it for the first time a few months ago, and figured it had at least a budget of a few million dollars. That it only had a budget of $650, 000 is absolutely insane. Like holy crap, I almost don't believe it.

He should do a superhero movie about a guy that gains all of the powers of a walrus.

I don't think it would be that surprising if Kevin's child was better, if she chose to become a director. I don't think that kind of thing is completely without precedent either. If you ignore his '70's output (And that's a massive thing to ignore), I think one could make the argument that Sofia Coppola has a better track record as a director than Francis Ford.
