ReplyDelete-Kevin Smith
I read that. It's just sad, considering as recently as Clerks II I considered myself a Smith fan. Since then he's kinda taken a swift nosedive from haha to meh to blech. I mean, if he considers his most recent film akin to a retarded child, that makes him, what, someone who knows the children he will father will have severe mental and physical handicaps but then knocks girls up anyway? (Bad analogy, I know; he's more like a previously fine (or at least entertaining) filmmaker who's now content with making wilfully bad movies.)
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about Uwe Boll (whose movies I'd compare to a hyperactive, dumb-as-rocks 12-year-old boy), at least he injects some (very stupid) energy and fun into his movies.
Now when I think of Kevin Smith, all I can think of is this:

He no longer makes "movies," he makes "Mongos."
