Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This is probably his most recent "Q&A," since he mentions Red State, his most recent movie.

It's worth watching... Smith is excellent at just talking about shit. Funny part is, he only gets 1 question... and spends an hour and twenty answering it. When asked what it was like directing Bruce Willis (Cop Out), he spend about 30 minutes talking about his gay buddy, 30 minutes about how he finally became a stoner at 38, and then about 20 minutes talking about Bruce Willis, and that was pretty much the end. So, as he said, it was a QUESTION and Answer.

But there were plenty of good chuckles throughout.

I believe this would be Kevin's 4th DVD of his Q&As around the country. I've seen the first three and they're very interesting. He really doesn't hold back regarding what it takes to get a film made and how insane the movie business is run.

You point out that he's a good talker, and I'm not sure if any of you are aware, but his "SMODCAST" network dominates the iTunes Podcast charts around the world. I believe he has 7 podcasts under his branding.

Say what you want to about his films, but he's becoming something of a pioneer and is pretty smart at keeping himself relevant.

Jersey Girl was not a horrible movie, but was caught in the "Bennifer" backlash. Not saying it was great, but it gets a lot of undeserved negativity.
