Re: Clerks III (Smith, Sometime this Decade)
Looks like we'll be seeing this after the Canadian trilogy. Tusk led to Clerks III getting financed.

Haven't we had enough of Dante, sulking about his pathetic life while Randall just bags on him about it.

I wonder if Smith missed the point. He thinks people who note that Tusk failed at the box office were hoping it would fail because they hate him -- on the contrary, they like him and they just weren't interested in that sort of a movie. At least I'm not.

Re: Clerks III (Smith, Sometime this Decade)
I really hoped he'd make Clerks 3. Despite being underwhelmed by Clerks 2, I love the characters and I'm an eternal optimist, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt it'll be a good movie.
I tired watching that Jay and Silent Bob Groovy Cartoon movie and gave up after 5 minutes because I hated the animation style so much. I was worried he'd wind up doing Clerks 3 as a shitty internet cartoon, so I'm glad to hear it's back on (Unless he means he got financing to do a shitty internet cartoon).

I loved Clerks II so I'll be there day one. Although the last 20 minutes of 2 was just about perfect in my eyes.
Like I said in the Tusk thread, I still don't really know my opinion of the flick. I know I didn't hate it, on the contrary, I liked it but I still haven't really wrapped my head around it. I haven't stopped thinking about since I saw it the day that it came out, so in that regards, the flick was a smashing success.

Yeah I was a pretty big fan until he screwed over Carolla. If his pompous ass can't work with a guy that will sign on for pretty much anything, you know there is something wrong.

Is this it?

Seems like they talked about it together on Adam's podcast so they seem ok.

As for me, I think people overreact to Smith and I still don't get the hate that he draws. Seems like any thread about his movies results in some strong negativity. Yeah he talks a lot and seems to hold petty grudges, but to me he still does it in the context of a normal dude in an otherwise shitty industry.

I don't know how you write Jay and Silent Bob into a Clerks 3 without a gigantic shoe horn. I thought they were shoe horned into 2. The characters are just too unrealistic as slackers hanging out infront of convenient stores when they're pushing 40 in 2 and pushing 50 in 3.

Honestly though, some of his fans need to just get over it. I don't see what's so wrong with him branching out and trying other things than just raunchy comedies. Like I said in the Tusk thread I was actually losing interest in him for quite a while but after Red State and Tusk I can appreciate the fact that he's trying new things outside of his comfort zone and the View Askew universe.

Re: Clerks III (Smith, Sometime this Decade)
Recently watched Clerks 2 again, I have the hd-dvd, and was surprised how much I liked it. I have always liked the movie, but I hadn't watched it in a long time.
I think I will watch JASBSB next.

Yeah. Carolla had Smith on but they hardly worked it out. It was an awkward podcast to say the least. IIRC (didn't relisten to the YT vid), there was some dispute over an email or tweet about getting together to work on the project that went unanswered on Adam's part (he's claimed for years he doesn't email so it's silly for Kevin to assume he got said email and just ignored it) so Smith moved ahead without him. In the end it's he said vs. he said, but one person walked away with $500k and a development deal and the other did not.

IMO Smith is one of those artist who is known for one thing and that's all the public wants out of him. He seems to want to make other films and be taken seriously, but not many care.
So back to the well, which in turn creates negativity.
In college I worshiped his films, now I just really enjoy Mallrats. I will watch Clerks III but he seems like such a woe is me person, its off putting and overshadows his work.

I like Kevin, and I enjoy his stand up/public appearances, but he sucks as a director (and he's not half the writer people think he is).

Re: Clerks III (Smith, Sometime this Decade)
Sorry, but that's BS...every new project Smith does, he goes online and through his podcasts and proclaims "it's the best thing he's ever done" - then it turns out to be subpar or, at best, very average. Then he does it again with his next project. You can only cry wolf so many times before people call you on it. It's one thing to be enthusiastic about your work, it's another to keep claiming your next thing is "the best thing ever."

I guess I don't expect Kevin Smith to act professional, so i'm not surprised when he says things otherwise. Yeah there's some ego there, but as I mentioned before he strikes me as having the ego of a regular nerd that got famous for dick and fart jokes and speaking his mind out loud. A lot of his audience grew up, but obviously he arguably didn't. I'm ok with him being a bit of a douche about things, because I don't expect otherwise from him other then being blunt over whatever is on his mind at the time.

Re: Clerks III (Smith, Sometime this Decade)
I tried to listen to it but the podcast was boring and annoying with both guys going off tangent and rambling about other things. From what I got out of it, basically they had an email exchange about working on a new show together, Smith says he called Adam but didn't leave a message, 6 days pass and Adam just emails "call me" but by then Smith moved on since he didn't hear anything and both of them get pissed at each other for not contacting each other. Either way at the end I don't think a show ever got made so I don't see any reason to hate Smith for it. And i'm a Carolla fan from listening to him on the radio before he got famous
But yeah, they're both alpha males who have terrible communication skills when a half mil is on the line.
It is kinda funny though, Smith has feuded with Carolla, Prince, Bruce Willis, Howard Stern, Jenny McCarthy and complained about stars in his films like Linda Fiorentino & Jeremy London. There's only one common denominator in all these feuds.
