It's like he doesn't try anymore (he doesn't necessarily have to, he seems happy where he stands and good for him I guess), but whenever I go back and watch Clerks or Chasing Amy, I always wonder what he would be like today if he retained that "go-get'em" filmmaking spirit.

Last I heard, he's been working on the script for Clerks 3, but he also battled a heart attack and has focused on losing weight so it doesn't happen again.

He finished that years ago. The guy that plays Randall turned it down, and he's trying to get it made into a comic.

It's called "Jay and silent Bob get a reboot" where they try to stop a bluntman and chronic reboot movie from happening.

I shit you not.

Chasing Amy
Clerks & II
Dogma

That's more than one to me.

He ended up shelfing it after Jeff Anderson decided not to return to the role, since Randal was the central character and Jeff pretty much owns that role.

Dude Clerks 2 means so much to me. It's ridiculous. Just as a message to being happy and not fighting for something you think you want. I think he's working on Clerks 3 and Jay and Bob reboot

Also, he's apparently been given his "biggest director role ever" recently, which has people speculating it involves DC or something.

Yeah, man, I love Clerks II. I like how the theme of the movie perfectly fit with the arc that the two main characters are going through, in that they're, along with the feeling of the movie itself, are kind of stuck in 1994 and they still haven't fully taken on adult responsibilities.
It makes the ending so much sweeter when it fades back into black and white.

Chasing Amy was fucking stupid

Get out of here. Chasing Amy is, hands down, his best movie and pretty much the thing that gave him the most attention from other filmmakers.
Clerks might have put him on the map, but CA definitely shot him into a household name.

Oh shit, really? I'm interested. He still have to finish his shitty Up North trilogy though. That is, if he ever.
I saw Yoga Hosers months ago and still couldn't believe this was the same guy who did Chasing Amy. What the fuck...

I used to be a big Kevin Smith fan, and I started watching that film a couple of years ago and couldn't even get through the first like 10-20 minutes of it. It was soo bad. The movie previous to that wasn't that great either (Tusk I think)

I kinda dug Red State

he did a video after his heartattack. he said he had stuff to say and needed to make the video iirc

the heartattack put things in perspective for him. i think he said he regretted not making sequels to his movies like mallrats 2 and another clerks movie, or another jay and silent bob movie. so, hes doing that now. the time passed for the others or didnt follow through he said. he has more control of jay and silent bob so he is making another jay and silent bob movie.

This, who cares if it's part of the circle jerk? Clearly overrated mostly boring movie with a good "message" and a lack of likeable characters. Dogma is the only good "serious" movie the guy managed to make and it has a giant shit demon in it

Like, mall rats and the like weren't trying to be art, but at least those were occasionally entertaining.

Goddamn, these terrible opinions up in here. I need to clense myself of this filth.

You made a thread discussing the cinematic merits of Kevin Smith movies lol. That's like one tier above Troma or something

Keyword there is above. Kevin Smith managed to, at least, make one good film. Now let's discuss.

all he seems to do these days is smoke enormous amounts of weed, come up with some stupid idea that was probably funny as hell when he was stoned, and turn that into a movie that unsurprisingly sucks

You're not wrong. Yoga Hosers started out as a dumb joke him and his friends made on a podcast.

He's reprising his character from Tusk. Took me a while to realize it was him.

Going by this, I take it Jersey Girl was your favorite movie by him.

I like a couple of his movies and seems like a nice guy, but his fanboyism and him crying at the drop of a hat at anything kinda bothers me. I really dug his Fatman on Batman podcast until it just became a typical comic book podcast.

But this topic isn't about Dogma, so I'm afraid I'll have to abstain.

Don't catch these hands.

I did enjoy the original Clerks a lot, but I admit I could be biased because I was working in a video rental place when I saw it and it hit close to home lol.

I love both the Clerks movies. After a while at my first job, I watched these movies again and I'm like, "God, I understand now."
