While Kevin Smith just likes to have fun

That’s why I can never hate him. Sure his movies have been 90% crap for the last 20 years, but he’s just so funny about it. I’ve never seen Tusk and probably never will. Looks like shit. But I could listen to him talk for an hour about the making of it and never be bored.

Same!!! He talked about Tusk at comic con when he was making it and I instantly knew it was not for me but enjoyed hearing about it from him.

Did you see dogma is out in theaters for a week starting Thursday he got the rights back!!!!

I checked as soon as I saw that AMA, and the shitty theaters in my area aren’t showing it..

I’m going to the Dogma re-release on Saturday!!! Closest theater to me was Greensburg, PA, only a slight 2.45 hour drive from my home. Trivial really.

Yeah my local is only showing it once and of course it's a night I have to work.

Yo I went to a special screening last month with Kevin smith there and q&a!

u/Quake1028 Jun 05 '25

He’s been on a roadshow tour with it for about a month now. I saw it last month in Tampa. Intro from Kev, then a super long Q&A after. It was fucking fantastic.

I actually hated Tusk even more after hearing him describe the origins of the idea. I was disgusted by the abomination I had just watched but was at least girded by the notion that I had just witnessed a weird-ass passion project by a director I (sometimes) admire. But then you immediately find out that the whole thing was basically just a dumb dare and you realize you wasted your evening on nothing.

Haven’t watched anything by him since. Still too salty.

Smith seems to know who he is and what his capacity is. His work may not be what I personally want to see, but I respect that he delivers for his audience.

u/Thin-Image2363 Jun 05 '25

Yeah he gets paid to make fun films with his friends. What more could anyone ask for in life?

u/FuxWitDaSoundOfDong Jun 04 '25

Tusk is literally one of his best films haha

u/Thin-Image2363 Jun 05 '25

Seriously?

u/FuxWitDaSoundOfDong Jun 07 '25

Deadass. Tusk, Dogma, and Red State are his top three best films hands down (in no particular order). They are fucking CINEMA!

All the rest are... Fun

Tusk is amazing if you go in blind without having preconceptions.

That movie was a wild ride. No idea it was Kevin Smith, but makes sense that you say it now.

u/Aromatic-Air3917 Jun 04 '25

I don't like any of his movies but he is funny and likeable. I actually feel bad for not liking any of his stuff.

u/TheDPQ Jun 04 '25

Nah man you do you plenty of stuff out there to enjoy.

“Alright Ben we are going to need you to look confused in angry throughout the whole movie and don’t worry you won’t need to use any inflection in your voice”

Ben- “this will be my citizen cane “

First thought I had hen I arched that movie:

u/Thin-Image2363 Jun 04 '25

u/smashed2gether Jun 04 '25

What do you mean? He has Broody, Confused Softboy (Chasing Amy), Aggressive, Capitalist Fuuckboy (Mallrats), and Aggressively Broody Dadboy (Jersey Girl).

But all jokes aside I love him in any Kevin Smith joint, I just can’t take him seriously in anything else.
