Oh I now understand why he wears a mask.
Kevin Smith NFTs?
why is he always making that face in the bottom right? i swear nearly every time I see him on Cinemaphile he's making that exact expression
what a fricking cuck
Batman wears a cowl. Considering the scope of Kevin Smith's impact of pop culture as a whole I feel like he should be shot for fricking something like that up.
It's even worse than some of you might think. Kevin Smith actually wrote Batman comics himself. He was the writer of the notorious story where Batman confessed to pissing his pants while on a mission
Nevermind that he actually owns a comic book store and had a podcast dedicated ENTIRELY to Batman discussion.
errrrmmmmm actually Batman wears a cowl which kinda covers up everything except the mouth
This was my first thought as well, is this even the real Kevin "comic book superfan" Smith of 1990s fame? Part of me feels like Smith died during that heart attack and was replaced by some other spirit. This current shriveled, totally ignorant and charmless cuck was not the person we all knew and loved.
It may be good, but i won't watch it because of this obnoxious moron here
Batman doesn’t wear a mask he wears a cowl and it doesn’t cover his nostrils or mouth what the frick is he talking about?
he's a fat frick who had like 10 heart attacks, of course he's deathly afraid of the coof. I'm suprised he even leaves his house at all.
>Maskless guy looked at me like I was an idiot.
Probably because you are.
He's such a fricking homosexual now and I don't understand.
In the 90s, he was known for his sarcastic wit and calm, dry delivery. He would even attack people in Hollywood.
As people age they either become more and more based, or become more and more cringe
Tell me about Kevin! Why does he wear the mask!
Never move to California kids.
>IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD
no it doesn't you fricking simpleton
>lose weight
>still morbidly obese
impressive
He might be the most insufferable person alive
Yeah but clerks is funny
It certainly looks a lot better than I thought it would.
I can't believe I used to listen to his batman podcast how cringe was I?
you were probably a lot happier back then
Pretty cringe if you listened to it over Tell Em Steve Dave.
Frick yeah, TESD was great back in the day.
>hurr hurr meta
I'm so sick of post-post modernism
Clerks 1 was based off his real life time working at that very convenience store. If anything at least this will be the last clerks and will wrap it up in a neat Bow.
They fricking wrapped it up in 2, this is just "Jason Mewes and I need money and I need more vehicles for my talentless wife and daughter"
Don't you mean " my talentless wife & Jason's daughter" ?
>Don't you mean " my talentless wife & Jason's daughter" ?
100% this.
That is not Smith's kid. His ugly, jug eared horsefaced wife cucked him with mewes. She leeched onto Smith in the late 90's when he was riding high and she actually tho(ugh)t that she couldget close to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, but when she realized they weren't going to ditch Gyneth Paltrow and Wynona Rider for her bawd ass, she fricked Mewes and pretended it was Smith's kid while forcing him to put her disgusting visage in his movies.
There's a shot in one of Smith's stand up videos where she's practically hanging off Mewes.
Smith is a cucked homosexual sellout piece of shit!!!FACT!!!
>There's a shot in one of Smith's stand up videos where she's practically hanging off Mewes.
Show it to us, I want to see it. And yes, Harley is 100% Mewes daughter.
Mewes could use the money. Smith is nowhere close to being broke, he's rich as frick - the Netflix deal alone he signed a couple years ago is more money than your entire family will make, total. Plus he's got the comic book store money, has been making TV money for that shit He Man series and all the other schlock he's been making. He was podcasting for years because he couldn't get backing for movies, but he hasn't needed money since the 90's.
For a mediocre filmmaker that made a handful of fun films almost 25 years ago he has done a fantastic job at remaining relevant. He was tailor made for nerd culture and it just so happened to boom at the exact moment his film making career went kaput.
Smith is really one of the best storytellers I've ever heard. When it comes to telling a story, verbally speaking and explaining himself and details, the dude has a God given gift.. It's crazy that none of that translates to his films anymore.
I do think smoking weed has done more damage to his ability than he'll ever admit to. He was at least somewhat competent at writing/directing films back in 2010. His last "old" Kevin Smith movie was Zack & Miri.
His last competent film was Cop Out.
>When it comes to telling a story, verbally speaking and explaining himself and details, the dude has a God given gift
Apart from the first Clerks, those "Evening with Kevin Smith" spoken word things were probably the best work he's ever done.
>meta
That word sends me into an autistic rage. That and the phrase “foreshadowing”, I want to strangle the fedora poster whenever I hear it.
It looks like a spliced together fan film. Especially with that music.
What do you mean, all his movies are like that
Anything looks better than Clerks 2
Shut up, you porch monkey.
Wasn't great, but Dawson's breasts bouncing while she danced on the roof was damn near cinematic history.
I would like to have sex with this woman.
>never go ashoka to mouth
This gif never fails to make me laugh. Thanks for posting it friend.
literally walked out of the theater during this cringe shit
I walked out just before the credits because I couldn' take anymore.
You are the homogay
For me it's her shaved slit in whatever-the-frick film that was that I didn't bother watching but have fapped to the scene from several times.
Alexander?
Trance (2013)
She’s pretty hot.
literal fridge
Clerks 2 is Smith's best film by a mile
why is the original one in black & white, turned it off after that
Money
>why is the original one in black & white
>The film's shoestring budget is part of the reason it was shot in black and white. A number of different types of lighting were used, and this would have required a lot of post production to resolve issues related to the varying color temperatures. With black and white, this isn't a problem
They had to shoot the movie during the night. Either because the store wouldn't allow shooting during the day or because Kevin worked or both. That's why they also included a plot point about hanging a large sheet of white cloth in front of the windows to prevent natural light from coming in and making all indoor lightning be artificial lightning from lamps and such.
I'll watch it just because I love Dante and Randall as characters. I like the concept too but let's face it will likely be pretty shit.
>no black people
This movie is racist!
Dantes girlfriend is some sort of mutt
shes puerto rican dumbass
Brazilian you fricking biggot.
>Actor, Advocate Rosario Isabel Dawson was born on May 9, 1979, in Brooklyn, New York to Patrick C. Harris, of American Indian and Irish ancestry, and Isabel Celeste Dawson, a writer and singer of Afro Cuban and Puerto Rican ancestry.
Where the frick dod your autistic ass pull "Brazilian" from?
>Where the frick dod your autistic ass pull "Brazilian" from?
Her waxed vagene, sir. Do the needful.
There were some Black folk in the trailer.
If there is ZERO woke pandering I’ll go see it. But something tells me there will be.
Can’t have WHITE MALES be successful characters anymore.
>a sequel? what am i a hack?
>kevin smith winks at the audience
at least hes self aware
Self awareness and meta references, the ultimate statement of the untalented and uncreative
They're the Kevin Smith signature tropes, shut up
Everytime I see Kevin's face I think of cuckoldry
Has there ever been a generation more leeched off of than the 90's? I miss the 90's too but for fricks sake why can't we just make good shit now
Because no one wants to admit why that old stuff was actually good. Anything new has to be made according to modern trends, which is to say it has to be shit.
Would a young film maker come along now and make a film about men being men, making crude jokes, generally not being politically correct at all? Probably not.
the fricking 80s?
Everything original is gone. American pop culture and its subcultures are not an expanding concept, it's finite. Lasted from the 50's to the early 2000s. Now we're transitioning into the post-modern age.
Rosario wall'd hard
Nah, she's still extremely hot
>dante and randal are the only ones looking good to this day
I can't get over Dante looking like DarkSydePhil's twin (or vice versa)
The lesson to be learned is you can get old, but never get fat and old.
DSP has the face and body of Dante and the voice of Randall, it's crazy
>chrischan the movie
Proves that Smith also sucks at casting, since that Elias guy hasn’t had any work since Clerks 2.
He just casts his friends, not everyone is as lucky as Sam Raimi and just happens to have Bruce Campbell as a bff.
what a frick they even got lotr kid back
Uh, he wasn’t doing much…
>Elias has shrunk 5 inches
How?
Objective proof men hit the wall just as hard, if not harder, than roasties. Btfo
wasn't there one already or did i only see a dream or something
nvm i was thinking of jay and silent bob reboot
He was planning on doing clerks 3 like 10 years ago but one of the two guys was done with acting
The guy playing Randall didn't want to come back because the money they were offering was shit. Eventually, after Smith's heart attack, he reconsidered.
Is he seriously doing the meta movie thing for like the third fricking time
>what is this, a tinder date?
why wasnt the line "what is this, a date?"?. why add tinder if it makes no difference. is a tinder date somehow different than a regular date. does this add to the comedic value? i suspect its a shitty way for kevin to attract zoomers who dont give a shit about him or his piece of shit filmography
Tinder dates are largely about getting to the fricking, normal dates traditionally used to mean you wouldn't get action until like the second/third date.
They're just old an out of touch.
Sort of, there are apps that are more in tune to hookup and there are some that are less. It's pretty standard middle of the road being the most popular. Dates in general are more for hookups nowadays.
A date is dinner and getting to know someone.
A tinder date is drive through coffee and a discussion on who's hosting.
k boomer
what's shoe money?
Every dog has its day.
Clerks is the only good movie Kevin has made, no wonder he keeps revisiting it?
Mallrats.
Yeah but avoid the directors cut at all cost, it fricking rapes the whole pacing of the thing by adding a stupid fricking long ass dumb intro that has nothing to do with anything
Didn't even know a director's cut existed. Not surprised though, Kevin Smith is very good at milking every bit of milk out of everything he does.
its almost half an hour longer
His objective peak is chasing amy actually, but good guess
You misspelled Dogma, but that's okay.
Dogma was ahead of its time. Nobody cared about it except niche groups of people. Then again that's probably all of kevin smith's movies.
mallrats is objectively his peak
dogma tho
The 1979 segment in Clerks 2 legitimately made me feel hard, I don't think Kevin Smith is capable of kino like that anymore
>randall staring off in the distance
kino.
>Kevin Smith admits he's a hack in the trailer
kinda based
PLEASE TELL ME WHYYYYY
Kevin Smith needs to retire
Very cringe.
smith has made good movies but most of them are shit
this should have been made 10 years ago and Randall should have been a rich CEO or something and Dante working at the store still with a family and kids
>Randall should have been a rich CEO or something and Dante working at the store still with a family and kids
shit that would be pretty funny and depressing at the same time
No. Randall should be a famous YouTube movie reviewer, based off the interaction with that guy in Clerks 2. The setup was all there. Randall would have fit in perfectly with the rise of YouTube and schlubs like him getting rich and famous for being buttholes.
But Smith doesn't step out of his little pot bubble these days, and failed making a dent on YouTube, so he won't bring that up. Instead he shits out a lame ass reframing of his own story, because he's got nothing else to work with.
The dude had it all. His own production company, the Weinsteins backing him, big dick swinger in the early podcasting days, but he blew it. All of it. Now he just sucks dick to get scraps from Netflix and retreads his old shit.
Some people peak early. Smith is one of them. He can exaggerated wink at us that he's making fun of himself, but I think the world has had just about enough of him.
>Randall should be a famous YouTube movie reviewer
Holy shit, talk about something I didn't know I needed. That would have been incredible.
>Randall should be a famous YouTube movie reviewer, based off the interaction with that guy in Clerks 2
Actually would've fit really fricking well.
Could be an interesting plot point where Randall is becoming successful and financially independent from the convenience store he bought with Dante and for once Dante is feeling inferior and left behind by his friend who finally found his niche.
Yep. or have a "what have I become?" story with him becoming the kind of person he used to harass and make throw up. There's so much that could be done with that, but nooooo, we have to have a retread of Smith's life, even including the fricking heart attack.
Hell, the story being the store being neglected because they both start a youtube channel fighting with each other over movies, get really successful but hate each other, and they lose sight of their roots and their freindship. Like Baseketball.
Smith is too creatively bankrupt now. He's become what everyone accused him of in the ViewAskew forums that he based Strike Back on.
>Rosario Dawson is in there for like 3 seconds
I mean I guess with the Ashoka shit she's a big time actress now. Loved her in 2.
I also loved this fricking soundtrack, poorman's easy listening Nirvana rocks.
holy shit that looks terrible
I love prostitutes so much, bros
>dude our film is shit but we reference that with self depricating humour so it's ok!
Looks pretty good aside from Dante and Randall starting to get that old lady look, which I guess is just regular old people look, but with makeup somehow making it worse.
>All the guys look like a bowl of milk you found behind the radiator
>Rosario Dawson still human Viagra
How does she do it?
yeah I'm not into grannies. you do you though.
She's the only one with an acting career. Nobody else does.
She seems like one of the most fun actors working. Like when a singer (I forget who) was filming a gonzo music video in London, she just happens to be passing and then joins in with the dancing.

>In October 2019, Dedrek Finley, a trans man, filed a case in Los Angeles against Dawson and her family for alleged incidents involving discrimination, verbal abuse, misgendering, and physical assault. Finley had been employed as a handyman, living with the family, and had known them for decades.[26][27] Through their attorney, the Dawson family said they are "saddened and disappointed by these false and baseless allegations."[28] In August 2020, 18 of the 20 accusations, including those against Dawson herself, were voluntarily dropped by the plaintiff.[29] The remaining claims were dismissed by a Los Angeles Superior Court in May 2021.[30]
By being based
Clerks 2 was dogshit
failing upward never looked so pathetic.
I've sucked like 20
I guess the movie doesn't age well. 37 isn't such a big deal anymore
nobody cares about how much wiener youve sucked, homosexual
Sucking dick isn't gay if it's for your bros.
Can I have a turn? :3
I sucked 1 guy off once, and then I got a panic attack it gave me HIV for no reason (it didn't I got tested) and now I'm scared to ever do it again because it'll just lead to me panicking about getting aids
I wish you did get aids.
If a guy sucked my dick, we'd be bros for life no question about it.
That's kind of what I need, a bro that I can do normal friend shit with, but also whenever he gets horny he lets me suck his dick.
I don't care for the romance shit, I just have thing for dicks for some reason
You sound like total bro material. I hope you find a friend like that.
its called a brojob and its a bonding experience. remember to say no homosexual and fistbump
It's so hard to get aids that way... didn't you have any sexual education back then?
>It's so hard to get AIDS that way.
Who cares. It's because of the gay community being so flippant about HIV/AIDS that it's spread so much in the first place. Now HIV is just not a big deal. Modern medicine might save you today but viruses/bacteria evolves. Can't wait till you gays catch something you can't live long with.
>hurr durr I hate the gays
kek Is not like there's a masive AIDS spread due to gay blowjobs. wtf you'retalking about
my brain doesn't care that its hard to get it that way, it still made me panic
in a row?
damn it looks fricking corny
DUDE WEED
If he never started smoking weed, would Kevin Smith's films have continued to get better and better? Seems like the moment he picked up the pipe the quality went off a cliff.
Nah, he had already made Jersey Girl before becoming a pot head. He has always been a hack.
how bad is this? only kevin flick i haven't seen
Judge for yourself
I'm so glad they stopped pretending she could act. And it's ironic Smith pretending he could direct did it.
jesus fricking christ
He really had to put his face on the fricking cover, didn't he?
Probably not lol the guy just got old and isn't funny anymore. Happens all the time.
He got one good movie out after Seth Rogan tunred him into a pothead, he got Red State done, which is the last thing he did with any quality. Everything else has been pure shit. But he was slipping before that, Jersey Girl really hurt his credibility, and was so bad the studio removed any references to Lopez being in it. Then he almost killed Rogan and Bank's careers with Zack and Miri. That's when he freaked out and "quit" and was just podcasting. That was his shot at the big time, and he blew it - and ruined his rep with Weinstein because he blamed it on marketing, not it being a mediocre at best movie.
Smith wanted so bad to be a Pulp Fiction and could never accept he's just Mallrats.
Everyone looks so fricking old jesus christ
Looks fricking awful
>Clerks was shit.
>Clerks II was shit.
>Clerks III will be shit.
;P
name a more based scene
will he completely take it back in the next film?
BABE YOU CANT TASTE RACISM
is it me or is kevin now just making the sort of mawkish shit he used to mock? the new Jay and Silent Bob film was like this too
He had a near death experience and he smokes more pot than snoop dogg. His movies have changed.
Look better than what the original version of Clerks 3 was going to be, jay and silent bob accidentlly shooting Becky and Dante having to raise their deaf daughter alone, Randall standing in line of the Ranger Danger movie for most of the film, Dante sacrificing himself to stop a mass shooting and Randall adopting the deaf c**t. Absolute trash
Good grief
this can't be real.
It's not quite accurate. The leaks I remember, and looked up, are:
>Dante is a single father, raising a deaf girl. The daughter and Randall are close/see eye-to-eye.
Which, of course, would be Smith's daughter.
>Jay and Silent Bob are featured throughout, intertwining and providing comic relief.
>When we pick up Becky has already been accidentily killed at the hands of Jay and Silent Bob (vaguely described as mistaken breaking-and-entering shooting death?).
Dawson wouldn't sign onto this script, and nobody would blame her.
>Randall has set up a pop-up Quick Stop in The Mall parking lot, to capitalize on all the people camping out/waiting in line for the Ranger Danger movie premiere.
Which is why Jeff wouldn't sign onto this script, he was sidelined for Dante and Smith's daughter.
>Dante is diagnosed with cancer, given months to live and saves his daughter's life during a theatre shooting during the Ranger Danger premeire. Daughter is adopted by Randall.
Yeah, that sounds like a funny stoner movie. Whew, Kevin lad.
Jesus wept. I'm so glad this shit didn't get made. I remember there was a script reading back in the day that wasn't released to the public so I image that's where these leaks come from?
What the actual frick
>saves his daughter's life during a theatre shooting during the Ranger Danger premeire.
Should have been Silent Bob in his overcoat, having snapped after being forced to break Jay's scrawny little neck.
wait do people actually hate clerks 2? i thought pretty much everyone agreed that its his best movie
Can't wait.
I'm tired of Kevin Smith movies but Randall is my husbando so I have no choice but to watch this
d00d its so meta! That means its ironic when we just recycle all the same jokes and plotlines.
BRAVO SMITH
I don't have those now, and life was still better in the 90's.
That image is full of shit. The world in general wasn't as insufferable back then as it was now, it was a friendlier and less obnoxious time to be alive, that's not to say it was a utopia but it was better than this.
>LE GOVERMENTS WERE ACTUALLY EVIL BACK THEN TOO!!!!
So what? Socially we were better off, all of us. Fricking racial harmony compared to what we have these days
>Fricking racial harmony compared to what we have these days
t. someone who lived in the suburbs and his understanding of race relations is probably from watching Fresh Prince episodes
and not an adult until 2007
We had hope we could change things back then, grew up and realized how hard and expensive it is to get into a position of any power.
I have a theory some people are evolving in their brains. Despite society's best efforts to brainwash us into this weird WASP lifestyle more and more people are trying to live differently. I think that's why republican boomers are so openly trying to take over things now because they see they're losing control.
At some point we need a mass civil disobedience to these archaic laws. Frick them, we don't want abortions illegal we don't want gays illegal so just ignore their laws.
You sound like a moron. Abortions aren't illegal, neither is being gay. Grooming kids is illegal and being a prostitute and expecting the government to pick up the tab for your birth control is moronic.
Yeah I'm not going to have a conversation with someone who has no idea how things actually work
If you're so worried about grooming kids, stop. taking. them. into. churches. Actually punish your pedophiles instead of forgiving them because they said sorry.
fricking hypocrites
its ok. Abortions being banned in mostly southern states means ~~*((our*~~)) plan to replace white people has just accelerated forward by 10 years.
Once we make homosexuality a religion we can have gay prayers schools, and conversion camps at the taxpayers expense.
Things are working better than ~~*((we*~~*~~ expected because chuds are moronic.
I don't go to church, dummy. I think LGBT shit and modern religions are also shit. Both groups touching kids doesn't make either one any better.
The main difference between the two is that a priest isn't immediately offensive to all 5 senses like a troony is. You will NEVER be a woman.
>we don't want abortions illegal we don't want gays illegal
I do though
excellent post
You guys realize the Rodney king riots happened in the 90s right?
What they really mean is white people in charge and in the media were not as cucked and there was still stuff free from that pathetic apologetic influence we have today.
Soi's always have this cope when it comes to nostalgia. They really cannot admit why the 90's or other decades were actually better because that would be "problematic"
Why yes, the pre-Internet pre-9/11 world was much simpler.
Zoomers will cope forever knowing they will never have true nostalgia or any culture of their own. Their just prostitutes of technology and rebranded pop culture.
Must suck haha
I've been disappointed with every reboot since bill & ted. I'll wait for you guys to watch it I cannot waste hours of my life on something so anticlimatic again.
I don’t hold out much hope.
>a sequel? no way, i'm not a fricking hack
was the only smile I had from this,not even a full laugh
>remember the first movie
is not a fricking joke
nice of ben affleck to keep returning kevin's calls.
without kevin smith he wouldnt have a career so im not surprised tbqh
You probably missed the decade or so where he WOULDN'T return Kevin's calls.
Kevin made sure to bring it up every chance he got.
Like Ben has anything better to do these days.
didnt the actor for Jay steal money from the actor of silent bob?
Why the frick would you be associated with some shithead like that?
Looks like tame and censored dogshit, just like the new South Park. The first two Clerks were known for their offensive humor.
how was the first one offensive?
Offensive to general audiences, not like woke offensive. Being offended meant something different back then.
Not that anon, but Clerks is well known as being a movie that was originally rated NC-17 due to the cursing and sexual jokes alone without any nudity or violence. An NC-17 rating is essentially a death sentence for the commercial success of a movie, so it was appealed on the grounds of freedom of speech to receive an R rating.
https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/clerks-104724/
They poked fun at homosexuals and bawds and also the shitty types of customers in general.
a woman fricks a dead old man in a bathroom stall anon
thats pussy shit compared to what natural born killers had
>Men would frick anything
>Animal, mineral or vegetable
>Where vegetable is a paraplegic
>Yeah they're easier to catch
for an example. Also everything Jay says the entire film.
god I have never understood the appeal of Clerks LESS
how the FRICK did anyone every sit through more than 10 minutes of any of these shitty fricking disasters they call "films"
i'd kill for a rosario dawson mommy
Mehhhh idk boomer bros...it's feeling pretty forced. We were 16-20 when the second one came out.
>ben affleck went from being batman to cameoing in shitty kevin smith flicks
snyder basically killed his career
its a payback flick because a friend says he owes him.
Nah, that was reboot.. Which was an absolute dumpster fire btw.. This coming from a life long Kevin Smith fan.
If it doesn‘t have Rosario bouncy breasts and full frontal shaved vegana i‘m not interested
If the opening shot isn't her getting fricked by a donkey I'm shitting in a theater urinal and demanding a refund
Utter shit. The actors are 20 years too old, Jeff should have stayed retired or whatever the frick he was doing. He and the Dante actor are looking rough as frick. Smith has gone back to the well too many times, with nothing to show for it. That well is DRY motherfricker.
Another Smith turd I'll completely ignore after hiting "post". Just retire, pothead. You haven't made anything worth watching since Red State.
>IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD
Does it really tho?
kind of looks like shit but there were a few nice shots in the trailer, cinematography looks ok
>watch it
>realize how old I am
>how my good years are behind me
>they weren't even that good
>go home to empty apartment
>sit alone in the dark and post on Cinemaphile
The whole point of the movie is that you're not too old to do this.
Not sure if you are trolling, grew up in a sheltered shithole, or legitimately moronic. You werent even a teenager in the 90s so I'm guessing your parents wouldnt let you listen to rap music or watch Fox.
>non pozzed white culture
>post pic of band that has a coal burner in the first 10 seconds of their "Today" music video.
anon, I....
I can only imagine the cringe.
- gay/troony/blm pandering
- le hip timely "internet culture" references
- outdated soundtrack
- references to crap from his Smodcast Extended Universe
- MCU pandering
- his daughter
- his usual self-celebrating all positivity bullshit
You forgot the seething riposte for people ripping into that He-Man garbage.
No it doesn't, it really doesn't
I used to love this fricker and his movies when i was younger. Find him now really stupid and hypocrite
I'm trying to find a quote about Kevin Smith from someone that said that every once in a while, israelites in Hollywood promote some nobody as a director to pretend to normal people that everyone can be become a director but as a joke they pick the dumbest moron they can and that Kevin Smith is one those. Anyone remember this?
>Kevin Smith
He's a joke in 2022 but back in the late 90's Smith was extremely influential in the industry. Neither Ben Affleck or Matt Damon have careers without Kevin Smith. And Good Will Hunting never sees the light of day.
Smith and Harvey Weinstein were apparently pretty tight at one point.
>Smith and Harvey Weinstein were apparently pretty tight at one point.
Nah. It was straight-up business. Weinstein went so far as to keep the rights of distribution from Dogma to himself, reason why Smith can't do shit with that property. The only movie of his, safe from getting a sequel or an animated series or whatever.
I always forget about that situation with Dogma. I'd love to know the details behind this. What was it about Dogma that made Weinstein want to frick Kevin Smith over it.
>What was it about Dogma that made Weinstein want to frick Kevin Smith over it.
It was probably because Dogma has a shitload of well-known entertainers and actors. He probably figured it was worth owning because Affleck and Damon were on the rise at the moment, Harvey thought the movie had franchise potential. Then as the movie premiered and did terribly, as all Smith movies do, he just decided to shelve it.
Recently he used it as leverage to gain Smith's support (according to Smith so take it with a grain of salt).
>"I said, 'Hey, how are you?' And he goes, 'You know, we have 'Dogma,' I just realized, and we got to get it out there again,'" Smith recalled to Business Insider while promoting his upcoming movie "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot"
>"I said, 'We do! People online are always asking where they can get it,'" Smith said. "And he then goes, 'You know, that movie had a big cast, we might even be able to do a sequel.' And I was like, 'Yeah man, right on. I might think about that.' And he was like, 'We'll talk.' And a week later The New York Times story breaks. I felt sick to my stomach."
Dogma is arguably one of his best pieces of work. But it sounds like without Weinstein buying the rights the film doesn't see the light of day. Unfortunate situation but simple business.
It's pretty well known why. Miramax was owned by Disney when it was being proposed. They said no. So the Weinstein brothers bought the rights, and worked a distribution deal. Smith has said a couple times he's tried to buy it back, but got no answer. Now? Who the frick knows. But the Weinsteins are sitting on it, and won't do anything with it.
It was business, but Kevin thought it was closer than it was. As for the rights, Disney (Miramax) gave it back because it conflicted with their family friendly image and the movie pissed off the rigidly uptight Catholic crowd.
Interestingly enough that's why the entire movie is on YouTube for free: the Weinsteins own the rights (personally, notbtheir company), but if they file a copyright claim that opens up their ownership to any lawsuits they may be a part of.
>Neither Ben Affleck or Matt Damon have careers without Kevin Smith.
Bullshit. That's what Smith wants everyone to believe, anyway. He had way less to do with why Good Will Hunting was a smash hit than anyone else involved, he just got to Weinstein eye's.
If they hadn't done GWH, they would have been stars, regardless. Damon more so than Affleck.
I mean getting Weinstein, the guy that produced the movie, to reluctantly give it a read is a pretty big deal. No one wanted to touch Good Will Hunting as it was. Damon was on the up and up and Good Will Hunting catapulted them both into mega stars instantly.
Like it or not without Smith's help neither of those dudes are who they are today.
>Neither Ben Affleck or Matt Damon have careers without Kevin Smith
Affleck and Damon are obvious CIA assets, recruited at Harvard.
>because it's totally normal for 2 no-name actors to get invited to the White House to watch your film with the president
That was at Camp David, and it was after Good Will Hunting had come out and was a successful film. https://aboutcampdavid.blogspot.com/2014/06/good-will-hunting-screening-at-camp.html?m=1
>That was at Camp David,
yes, I realize that, I misspoke
>and it was after Good Will Hunting had come out and was a successful film.
No, the screening was on 11 Jan 1998, only 2 days after GWH had been widely released:

>damon and affleck being smart enough to be on HARVARD
now that is a looney theory
Damon attended Harvard. Affleck worked at Harvard, and it was his mother's alma mater. Both went from no-names to big Hollywood celebrities out of nowhere. The CIA doesn't just let anyone in Hollywood make spook films; they are obviously going to use one of their assets that they have under control. Thus we have Damon starring in Good Will Hunting, where his character is being recruited by the NSA, as well as the Bourne films. Meanwhile, Affleck making a film about the CIA's involvement in filmmaking (Argo), or playing a CIA analyst in The Sum of All Fears.
I love Clerks and 2 is a masterpiece but this looks fricking terrible!!!FACT!!!
they look old
Meh, I may pirate it
What a dishonest movie poster.
Where''s randal's cancer enlarged throat pipe?
Why is dante's hair that color instead of black?
>IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD
No it doesn't. It's very clearly shot on digital which isn't doing it any favors, and the flat lighting makes it look cheaper than Yoga Hosers if Yoga Hosers was a CW show. Plus, with everything that went down, Smith is pretty much irredeemable. I sincerely hope it's good, but I highly doubt it. Still, it's nice to see Dante and Randall again. Might consider pirating it.

Tough break, anon.
Or looks awful, more references to STAR WARS, because that’s apparently the only film series that Kevin Smith has ever seen.
Watching this in the theaters would be embarrassing.
did clerks start the gen x slacker movie trend?
no. Slacker did.
Nothing started the slacker trend dumbass, it’s just that easily 70% of the people you meet are never going anywhere in life. The movie is just about 2 of those fricking losers, and their coming to terms with it.
hello zoom zoom
It was Back to the Future and the Principal, who called Michael J Fox and his dad a slacker.
2004/5 was the peak, everything after has been centrally influenced and bot directed increasingly every year since 2006.
>advanced tech for algorithm homosexualry
clear your fricking internet cache or use a separate browser and never log into an account.
You choose the bubble you create.
Randal turns woke
looks shit, so it might be good
It looks fricking terrible. Jesus Christ.
The rlm boys are so jealous of kevin smith.
is mallrats actually good? I watch clerks 1 > clerks 2 > dogma and that was enough to put me off from watching any other kevin smith movies. Loved Clerks but half of 2 was really generic and shit and dogma was just awful
>is mallrats actually good?
Honestly? I only ever liked it because i liked comic books. I re-watched it like 3 years ago and it was less funny than i remembered. Give it a go, might be your thing. Jason Lee is the absolute best thing of the entire movie.
Yes. Joey Lauren Adams and Shannon Doherty were CUTE CUTE. If you are older, you may get a nostalgia tingle for 90s mall aesthetic. Oh and ass pennies.
Tough for me to say now, I first watched it at like age 14, liked it then so have some nostalgia for it. Jason Lee’s character is the best part. The Jay and Bob scenes are super cartoony, acting from most of the cast is a bit flat, it had a Stan Lee appearance way before MCU was a thing. Some good lines and bits but uneven and cheesy at times. I like it.
Theatrical cut is okay, but the extended version is cancer aids.
Hartford? The whale?
Holy Shit!!!
Kevin Smith is a WOKE TRASH homosexual!!!
>its a movie.... ABOUT LE MOVIES!!!
Truly on the cutting edge, Kevin. My mind is blown.
I’d like to cave in Kevin Smith’s face with a hammer
i wounder if that fat frick anoying the randal actor so much he said he will only make the movie if his character gets killed off
Surprisingly it actually looks pretty decent. I like that it's taking the piss out of itself.
it cant be worse than the yoga hoosers movie
right?
right?
Nah. He has the Clerks formula down by now. Yoga Hosers was him trying to make a teen comedy for girls, something he knows nothing about.
>It was also the last great act of white culture. Then culture was negrified, ghetofied and hiphopfied.
In the late 90s-early 00s you still had people wanting to be wiggers like Eminem or Fred Durst. Even in the early-mid 90s, gangsta rap like Tupac and biggie was popular and mainstream.
not watching the trailer
not watching the movie
frick kevin smith
simple as
Clerks 2 was so fricking bad all about bestiality and shit. And Lord of the Rings and Rosario Dawson. That’s all Clerks 2 was. They weren’t even at the fricking Clerks place they were at the fricking fast food place from Strikes Back. At least this movie looks more like an actual Clerks sequel, but I don’t trust Kevin Smith to make anything good anymore
now I feel nostalgic 🙁
great song for the trailer, looks very soulful. I'm optimistic.
looks fricking shit
Randall is definitely going to talk about troony sex
Kevin Smith movies aren't real movies. They are in jokes for his podcast audience.
Kino song
90s ARE BACK, b***hS !!!!!
I'm not one to call something unoriginal but holy shit this is so unoriginal. The whole meta commentary thing was done in Jay and silent bob reboot(hell I think it was done in the original jay and silent bob movie).
I am curious what the original script was about. Did that ever leak?
Uuuuh.
It could've been worse I guess, like Yoga Horses which is hands down his worst film bvut it doesn't look good still.
Jay and Bob Reboot was pretty bad, but not AS awful as I thought it would be. There were some funny jokes. This looks on a similar level I guess.
The biggest issue with latest Kevin Smith movies other than being not very funny is the visuals. Tusk was the last Kevin Smith movie that was competently made from a visual standpoint. Yoga Horses, Jay and Bob Reboot and this look really bad. It's partly because of digital cameras which do not fit into the nostalgic type movies he's trying to make. And partly the less than pedestrian camerwork. He never was a visionary or something but first Clerks had a remarkable visual aesthetic and all of his other films up untill Tusk were at least competently shot. After than it's like he turned into a shitty YouTube reviewer trying to make movies.
>kevin smith
hahaha
