Whatever you think of Smith's films (which have been alternately praised for their realistic yet witty dialogue, and panned for being "peurile, childish, swearathons" (I know, I know; I'm trying to understand just why that is such a bad thing too), if you have even a shrivelled and atrophied sense of humour, even if you think that "there are some things that are no laughing matter", you'll almost certainly crack a smile or two if you watch this dvd.
Essentially Smith did a US college campus tour which consisted (theoretically) of a number of Q&A sessions. What it actually seemed to consist of is Smith recounting anecdotes and tales of his career and his life. This would be a DVD of purgatory if most directors did this. However, Smith is always hysterically funny, occasionally illuminating, and not afraid to take on awkward questions (or even drunken questions), and his candour is refreshing in an industry which is seemingly populated by "wonderful people" and "great actors".
Not only that, but it's one of the few non-fiction dvd's out at the moment that you can watch with either right or left wing friends....

Cheers for reminding me - Snuggly was meant to lend this ages ago.
Snugggggleeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!!

Oh really? Was this around the time he borrowed my copy?

Re-he-reaaallllllllyyyyyyy?
Does he talk about his filming of Prince's Celebration event on this DVD? I've read a transcript of that and it was hilarious.
Yup, he sure does. I didn't find that quite as funny as my friend Sara (who is a huge Prince fan, whereas I don't care if he lives or dies) did, but it's a corking monologue. For my money, his chat about the whole "Superman Lives" debacle (plus ANY comments about Tim Burton) are the funniest bits of the dvd.
Erm....sorry Snuggly; I seem to have gotten you in trouble...
That's okay, Rich is my flunkey anyway.
It's really funny, he's a genuinely hilarious guy, even just standing on a stage talking for four hours. I saw him do just that a few months ago in London, and it was most entertaining (particular his confession of wooing a girl by putting notes on her windscreen, dressing as Batman and perching on the roof of the nearby pharmacist).

Flunkey? FLUNKEY?

I love Kevin Smith movies and I'd really like to see this now that I know it exists.
Has anyone here seen Jersey Girl? It sounded so terrible that I couldn't bring myself to go and see it.
