"Lets start a Kevin Smith thread!"

I have noticed that a lot of you lovely people appreciate quality when you see it,namely a Kevin Smith movie!
Lets start a topic-why do you like him so much?
Is it because he is the 90's John Hughes?
Is it because he tells it like it is----without fear?
Let everyone know!
Lets go_____

I've seen both Dogma and Mallrats (just the one T, BumFluff), but I was inebreted when I saw the former, so that doesn't really count.

Mallrats, IMO, is not as good as everyone seems to think. It has a few funny sections, but I laughed at Shrek more than I laughed at it.

Anyway, Clerks was his first film. BumFluff has no clue.

And his next film is "Jersy Girl".

Do you cretins watch his films because they have dick jokes?

Hur hur hur.

Go watch Notting Hill.

Has the new Fletch film got Chevy Chase in it?

Oh and I think it should be pretty damn good.

OK let's get this topic back to the top.
Might as well make it worthwile though.
What does everyone think about Kevin Smith writing a script fo a new 'Fletch' movie?

Nope dont agree there. Clerks is Smith at his best without the large budget and cast of famous actors that Dogma had. Dogma is one of Smith's morepolished productions but it's not quite as fun to watch as Clerks and Mallrats, or Chasing Amy.

At the end of the day they're all great films, sadly overlooked because of their lack of mainstream appeal.

Let's some up this thread - "Dogma's not as gud cos it is mainstrem."

Bollix.

Chasing Amy is a pile of crap, and so is Clerks, comapared to the genius of Dogma. He took the mick out of his own religion, which is a very hard thing to do. It was on a larger scale then the rest of his films to date, and therefore very ambitious. It was a move forward in his films, and I for one would get very bored of five Mallrats one after another.

Snoogins.

Hey filmbuff - waaaah!

I could've sworn that Clerks was actually his first film, Mallrats being the second, followed by Chasing Amy and the Clerks animated series, Dogma, JSBSB, and the graphic novels (which are collections of his main non Green Arrow work) Clerks and Chasing Dogma, and the new Bluntman and Chronic one.

yes, Kevin Smith was great when he made his first film (not many of you may have heard of it, it was a low budget independant movie called Mall Ratts) but you all probably know him for his more hollywood mainstream films such as Dogma or jay and Silent Bob strike back. try looking at some of his early films, like Mall Ratts, they are better then all the ones you have seen. you need any info on these films i am here to help!!
