Ju And Da 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I was Just reading the "My name is Earl" post and felt that i just had to start a Kevin Smith Thread, its the way Big Kev would want it LOL.The Very first Time i saw Chasing Amy, which was the first Smith film that id come across in around 98 i knew id stumbled across something... I thought Affleck was adequate enough but Jason Lee i thought was Excellent, some really Spikey Dialogue in that film made it a cult classic.So what are your Favourites... Film,quotes just anything really im feeling random enought this evening.I have to say Liv Tyler was sooo Hot in Jersey Girl the whole Librarian look she had going on OUCH!And the one thing that i just cant ever watch is The Scene is Chasing amy (altho its my fav film) is the scene when affleck tells Alyssa how he feels about her, is it just me or does that make anyone else cringe??Lol not the most well constructed post but never the less u get the point!!

As for classic scenes/lines,: "Applesauce B1tch" "Butt****ing Brady Bunch" "Dude, I think I just filled the cup". Well that covers "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". I'll come up with some more good ones eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

Ju And Da 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've always thought that Kevin Smith was way overrated, but I seem to be in the minority.He doesnt make Classics, he damn well knows he's getting no Oscar nominations... But for sure his films attract a massive following, theyre non-sensical and just easy to get along and watch, and with the amount of people who smoke drugs these days! i bet Kev is laughing all the way to the bank and at the "Minority".

mbreon 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Clerks is still his best effort, the 10th anniversary edition DVD is definitely worth the purchase. Mallrats is his greatest blunder...hilarious movie, yet marketed terribly and edited terribly. The original version would have been much funnier. Chasing Amy has some great moments, some good dialogue. Dogma is good, not great. Never saw Jersey Girl, was that any good?There's a Kevin Smith DVD that he made following a tour he had around the U.S., speaking at different colleges. It's worth seeing.

Hes a father and a husband now and i believe is quoted as saying if he ever doned the "Silent Bob Jacket" again you'd be well within your rights to shoot him lol.perhaps hes moving in an different direction these days, that remains to be seen.Anyways keep the thread alive in my abscence im off down to my local to catch up and have a few beers and chat Poker, i look forward to reading some interesting posts in the morning.. have fun.

theresa113 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I LOVE KEVIN SMITH! My name is Earl has nothing to do with Kevin Smith except for Jason Lee.The best Kevin Smith movies are Clerks and Dogma. The only real flaws with Clerks is the low budget (some of the actors are not really actors. ) The screen play is awesome.Then there is Dogma. Dogma is pure genius. I was raised Catholic (and was not allowed to be confirmed after 8 years of CCD classes) so Dogma really struck a chord with me. Not only is Dogma my favorite Kevin Smith movie but I would always put this movie on my top 10 list.Mallrats was OK, not great, not bad. Chasing Amy was good but not something I could watch over and over again. Jay and Silent Bob strikes back was pure fun. Jersey Girl, in my oppinion, was not Kevin Smith. The movie got delayed so many times for editing. I think it was over edited to make it commercial. The result was pretty weak ( and I love chick flicks, but even for a chick flick, it lacked a lot substance.)Kevin Smith is working on 2 films now:The Green Hornet The Passion of the Clerks The Passion of the Clerks is Clerks 10 years later. I can't wait to see that! Link to post Share on other sites
buzbrad11 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 My Favourite is Dogma, folled by Mallrats, then Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, then Clerks, and Chasing Amy. I also have yet to see Jersey Girl.I will not justify my choices, but I stand by them. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to see that! Im aware that Kevin Smith has nothing to do with My name is Earl, just saw your thread and Picked out Kev's name and thought... She's on to something here and in the interest of fairness thought id give your thread a shout out. That and the fact id just finished watching Chasing Amy again, and felt all nostalgic.Id say that you have a good eye for choice there, if your going to be critical of each film and take them on their merits then id say you where spot on with your choices.Chasing Amy holds alot of special memories for me so thats Why it gets the nod for my top spot, however if im choosing on basis of the quality of film then for sure its Dogmna and clerks.And one final thought, you say you Love Kevin Smith, so who's it to be Kev Or Layne ??? LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm Catholic and I found Dogma to be one of the funniest movies ever.Passion of the Clerks, I honestly can't wait. I think he's going to be retiring Jay and Silent Bob though, after that movie. Huge mistake in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 There's a Kevin Smith DVD that he made following a tour he had around the U.S., speaking at different colleges. It's worth seeing.It's very much worth seeing even if you are not a fan, he is a great storyteller and he has so many funny stories about the business from an everyday guy's point of view.Some highlights are when he was hired to write a script for a new superman movie where superman could not fly, or have his traditional outfit. The filming of the documentary for Prince, and stories of meeting his wife and her getting hurt while preforming a little oral pleasure. There is a ton of funny stuff on it.I like all of his movies, I don't bother ranking them though as I like them for each for different reasons. Link to post Share on other sites

Â I think he's going to be retiring Jay and Silent Bob though, after that movie. Â Huge mistake in my opinion.Huge Mistake maybe, alot of people i know became fans of his work through the humour he employed in the majority of his films and the clever little cameo's of Jay and Bob.But at the end of the day can he do that forever and feel like he ever achieved anything worth critical acclaim, as i said before fatherhood and age tend to change a man and that seems to be where hes going with his new choice of productions... However im sure he wont forget what got him into the lime light in the first place... The man still has his sense of Humour!!! Link to post Share on other sites

mbreon 0 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Besides Jay and Silent Bob, who is your favorite Kevin Smith character?I always have a hard time deciding between Randal from Clerks and Brodie from Mallrats. Though I got to give props to Steve-Dave and Rick Derris as well. Link to post Share on other sites
