What is his best film?
His untreated mental illness should really be talked about more.
I know he admitted he was molested. Pretty obvious the food cope thing was from that.
But also
he is extremely dysfunctional about how he bragged about never learning director skills in his monologues, and then he breaks down for a second and sobs and says he knows he should have, then recovers into his persona.
Obviously he had a mental block about learning directing , almost as if he didn’t want to be there deep down but is stuck now

The one that is the most timeless and overall most competent is probably Dogma.

Clerks is his only good movie, and it's not as good as Clerks TAS, which was great because of David Mandel and Brian Kelley. Kevin still gets credit for doing something good because it was his show and when the professional sitcom writers pitched tons of jokes in his writing room, he put them in and wasn't too precious about his characters.

It's cus he got molested as a kid and then mind and soul raped by leftists in Hollywood. Imagine being genuinely one of the best indie filmmakers of the era and every new film you make gets shit on by retards. Red State was literally the film where I thought this guy can actually make movies that are not biographical comedy dramas. I haven't seen the 4:30 Movie but Clerks, Jay and Bob Strike Back, and Jay and Bob Reboot were probably my favorites.

4:30 movie was fine, it just lacked a certain je ne sais quoi.
Same as cop out.
Jay and bob movies were just too cringe. Cringe before the word was used commonly. That’s how I felt at the time, cringy.
Zack and Muir poreno even worse.
It’s interesting how connected he was forever, he had such good buzz in the early 90s he was still getting tier S actors in his films for decades.
Shoutout to mallrats, I think was inappropriately shit on, I enjoyed it a lot as a teen and in my 20s.

Clerks is probably still his best movie and Clerks 2 is the perfect sequel.
Mallrats is goofy fun
Chasing Amy is good up until Affleck proposes a threesome. Just completely makes no sense
Dogma is good overall but it has a limited appeal
J+SB Strike Back is too goofy and is held back by being a standard theatrical movie. It's best material is in the deleted scenes
Jersey Girl is cute and comfy. It's aged extremely well
Zack and Miri is okay. It tries to ape the Apatow formula despite Smith not realizing there are stark differences between Apatow and himself. The porn scenes and the shit shot might be too bracing for a lot of people
Cop Out is bland and unfunny
Red State is different and is interesting. It's political commentary is toothless, shallow, and muddied and it's ending is pointless
Tusk and Yoga Hosers are nonsensical stoner ramblings made into a movie
J+SB Reboot has a good central theme on parent-child relationships but all the contemporary Hollywood snark is unfunny. It's also shot horribly
Clerks 3 is full of jokes that you've heard a half dozen times over if you're a Smith fan. Also overflowing with nerd references that serve no purpose. And it's ending is even worse than the original ending of Clerks 1

I just like Tusk because of the part where he’s a walrus and starts screaming while Michael Parks is petting him and feeding him raw fish and forces him into the water. It’s far fetched but it’s creepy and kind of funny at the same time, sort of like Toxic Avenger.

They just didn’t hit right. I already felt that way with clerks 2.
Clerks 1 felt real, like how they endlessly talk about starwars (like we do here).
The LotR vs Star Wars rant in clerks two was completely off, there is no real nasty tinged amicus between LotR fans and starwars fans.
I understand it came from his talks, which means it was just a bunch of yesmen happy to be a part of his club laughing.
It was the first time I felt genuinely disgust at his writing.
Also I didn’t like that they still worked in fast food. Even losers move up the food chain a little in 10+ years, another “not writing what you know” thing

Clerks is his best movie and yes, in retrospect it's blatant he has no true artistic skill of his own.
Notice how immediately after Clerks all of his other movies were just generically shot like any other Hollywood movie. He was tard wrangled by technical guys. Then he makes movies by himself like Yoga Horses and Clerks 3 and 4:20 and they're TUBI Original tier. He doesn't know what to do.
Clerks was artistic by mere coincidence. He was highly restricted by lack of tech, he basically had a black & white film camera and his friends. He had to improvise and he had no choice but do things unconventionally, be it narratively, visually or editing wise. The black and white image also did a lot of the work, adding a melancholic tone to the film simply automatically.

>>
Going back to what he does now, 4:20 movie was in my opinion his worst one yet. Not because of it being unbearable nonsense like Yoga Horses or a sappy glorified YouTube video that is Clerks 3. But because of how artistically void it is. At least Yoga Horses is some weird B movie shit with corny special effects. At least Clerks 3 is genuine Kevin Smith venting about hitting the old age. 4:20 is totally fake, it's an attempt at something like The Fableman's but it's clear that none of this is actually Kevin Smith's real venting (like Clerks 3 previously). It's just a manufactured collection of clichés about this kind of movie, it's so fucking obvious and fake that you barely can make it through the movie because it lacks any immersion. The visuals are also his worst yet, in a weird way. Clerks 3 looked like a Nostalgia Critic skit but 4:20 is shot in these weird ass claustrophobic mid-shots almost entirety, with zero room for any imagery to breathe, it's so noticeable and grating I thought I'm taking crazy pills or something. And the fake ass barely noticeable 80s bloom effect on top of everything only added insult to injury. One of the biggest pieces of shit I sat through.

I almost laughed at the movie theater owner ken jeong bits, almost, like I could see how the joke might work.
I also thought she was actually cute and likable. Which shows some movie craft skill. I usually don’t feel that for female romantic leads that easily.
Also the wrestler was somewhat funny. The rest of the fake movies were extremely cringe tier though (also this joke of Hollywood making fun of Hollywood tropes is so played). You could tell he was desperate and was copying jokes from better films all over the place.
It just had too much cringe though, like his older brother fucking in the theater.
And he just had to have some weird speech between the 50 year old female usher and the fanboy that was supposed to be a silent bob -stic profound moment and you were too aware that that was what was going on, didn’t feel genuine at all.

Tusk is his best film and it starts to fall off the moment you realize it's a Kevin Smith film (when Johnny Depp shows up.)

If you like Mallrats or Clerks you should just watch Gary Burns' films instead.

>>221175884
1 and 2 kept the references to a minimum. The Star Wars bit in 1 actually reflects the greater thematic arc of Dante's character. That's why it's so memorable.
The SW vs LOTR bit in 2 is just there but it's at least funny. There's also the Transformers references but those are throwaway
In 3, they just throw them out in every scene just to throw them out. It's like reading Ready Player One. And doing it during Dante's funeral was really fucking shitty

I've known plenty of people who are perma entry-level so that didn't really bother me at all

Mallrats captured the cultural zeitgeist of the early 90s better than any other film or television at the time. Watching that movie now and realizing just how unbelievably different zoomers have it compared to millenials is lowkey disquieting.

Smith got called out on Cop/Out by Bruce Willis for not even knowing what lenses did and what lenses were and how lenses are to be used and how to use what lenses in what scenes and anything to do with fucking camera lenses because Smith is a film school drop out that lucked into the industry. That, and Bruce was pissed off at how much weed Kevin was smoking on set.
That being said, Smith's good when he's in his lane; he's very dialogue heavy and its a very distinctive cadence and rhythm too if you listen to him long enough. Clerks is a classic. Mallrats was all right. Dogma is probably his most earnest and well written film. Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back is the most fun and I feel he hit a high watermark with Clerks II. Zack & Miri was a crossroads cuz that's where he met Rogen and his weed obsession got tenfolded for years. The bitch about Smith is that he literally got to work with Hollywood heavyweights like Shannon Doherty, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Will Smith, Ben Affleck and he rubbed shoulders with Tarantino and Rodriguez and regarded them as friends and contemporaries; its almost a fever dream looking back on it. Now? It seems like he fell out of favour with the in crowd and is no longer in that group. (probably due to Harvey's arrest) That being said, he's got his strengths being a fantastic orator.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_RDzOgM3H0&t=113s

And he also gave commentaries on the original Batman quadrilogy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3tbONeVXCw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGU35HLo5tA&t=3035s

Its easy and hard to hate Smith at the same time; he literally did what everyone here wishes: made a movie, got it popular enough to break into Hollywood and he was just the nerdy fat kid that that got into the cool kids club. And just like the nerdy fat kid, he spills his spaghetti, fucks it all up somewhere down the line, now no one returns his calls.

I agree with all your sentiments, but you use filler words like "literally," and your syntax is cloying and patronizing. I don't respect your vying tone. You should work on expressing yourself without making it extremely obvious you're an emasculated millennial.

Not one of his films is good start to finish. Clerks 1 is full of dates star wars references and unrealistic long conversations about autistic shit no one cares about. Clerks 2 has the MC act like a gay man painting the nails of the black chick and then magically having her do all the work getting him to stay when he had a decent looking blonde woman with a job lined up for him all ready to go. Clerks 3 is the most self indulgent shit I've ever seen with an unironcally cuckold fantasy in it where his wife talks about getting DP'd in heaven. And the clerk's movies are his "best". He also bitches about Harvey Weinstein despite working for him directly. >>221175914
Clerks 1 was shot like a 1930s film and I don't mean that positively. He made it with lots of boring flat shots with no movement.

Well that's really how he does it. And it's sometimes said but not that often said that most directors and most people in general have no fucking idea what they're doing, they just pretend that they do. Bruce Willis called him out for it and that was after he had directed like a dozen films.

It's funny that at least Renny Harlin who did Die Hard 2 when he was just starting has openly admitted that he didn't really have a fucking clue what he was doing and he just assumed how the technical things should work and then went with that. But apparently he got along with Bruce Willis since he's not a fat weed addict.
>>
Clerks 2 is by far his best film since it's an actually funny movie with a perfectly cromulent plot, a good 3/5 lewd comedy. Of course it looks blatantly cheap but it's funny and has charm. Clerks 1 is an annoyingly overrated hipster flick that isn't outright bad and it's a very respectable achievement considering what he had. The rest are shit.

Zack and Miri was offensively bad and I haven't watched any of them after that because I assume that they're more of the same.

No but there'd be two B characters, friends of theirs, also involved in the scheme, who'd constantly make the same sort of joke you made, and at the end they'd fuck "reluctantly" and their "Super Ultimate Twink Bitch" series would make a million dollars
Or they'd release the video and the rest of the characters would be like oh sorry we already gave up on the porno thing

Meanwhile the two main characters... one of them would fall in love with a girl who insultedly rejects the porn proposal, he'd improbably succeed with her romantically, and he'd be tempted to ditch the porno company because she thought it and he was immature
This would cause friction with the other main character, a brilliant underachiever, but in the end he'd also grow up and use his business genius to solve all their money problems without porn, thus resolving friction with his disapproving family

The whole thing would be somewhat Harold and Kumar tier

More:

I forgot to clarify that it's aiming at a male audience, not a female (which is where Z&M went wrong, as I said)

Btw Judd Apatow did this to a substantial degree in Knocked Up but made it work by (a) relegating it to a B plot and (b) allowing the female characters to disapprove of it

In our movie it's the main character's family, as well as the love interest, that disapproves; but this is less important because the audience is males 18-35

Third act complication: they cross paths with gangsters in the porno industry when they try to recruit the actresses, hijinx ensue
Our heroes get the gangsters admitting to something on tape (using their new-found camera and sound skills) and have them arrested
The male lead without a love interest gets an implied night of torrid passion with a big titted stripper whom he freed from the gangsters, this is played for laughs somehow... like, he's sorted everything out except he was still too late with his rent and he's been evicted, and all the hot strippers say, don't worry, you can stay with us! Record scratch, he looks at the camera and raises an eyebrow, cut to black, roll credits, play a pop punk song

Normally I'd meme on the guy but every interview is alarming. Don't hurt yourself Kevin, it gets better. Chasing Amy had its moments.

The Lotr bit was incredibly bad anon.
No LotR fan is holding up an onion ring and going “one ring to rule them all” in the middle of his shift. And Randel spazing out just felt rude and agrissive, and certainly not funny.

It was literally the funniest bit in the movie. Because it was spot on.

He wasnt "molested" as suck. Some big kid told a little girl to suck his weiner so she did and he watched and laughed.

I wish that was the extent of my trauma. Childhood dark themes like a horror movie fuck.
>>
Red State is great, honestly

Mallrats is a comfy movie
Clerks is Great
Dogma is Great

Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back is Funny

Kevin Smith is cool leave the guy alone

Thank you for making Mallrats

the reboot was basically a 100 minute apology tweet with cameos. smith figured out you can replace jokes with "remember this?" and crying about being a dad. the daughters were just the final boss of that.
>>
Clerks 2 was the funniest movie ever made
>>
I remember liking Red State but I haven't watched it in over a decade. Is it any good?
>>
>>221181134
Of your tale from LotR is “three movies of walking “ you didn’t watch the movies or didn’t pay attention. If anything that is more true of the books.
>>
>>221185561
The movies are boring. That was Randalls point.

>>221178413
The shots in Clerks are decent, even if likely by accident. The movie manages to create space and make you feel like you're actually observing something real, it's almost fly-on-the-wall. Which makes for an interesting contrast with the often over the top characters. The conversations aren't unrealistic, you can definitely imagine these kind of spherical nerds in a vacuum having those. To me, in tone and asthetically the first Clerks is almost like a Jim Jarmusch movie, except the whole thing was fully accidental.

Bruce Willis got mad at him for being a shitty director in Cop Out.
Which, as far as the objective technical quality of his films go, is true, for Willis that was it, meanwhile Smith shit talked him on stage for years for daring to be a professional.
>>
Clerks easily

Yeah it’s really weird when you think about it.
>>
>>221186377
is the worst Kevin Smith film.
>>
>>221186329
Bruce Willis is also a huge piece of shit because he decides to tear of pages of screenplay he doesn't want to do in the middle of shooting. Hard to call someone like that a professional.
>>
>>221178413
>He also bitches about Harvey Weinstein despite working for him directly
complaining about your boss seems like a normal thing to do
>>
>>221186329
His little talks are a dangerous feedback loop for him.
You need to start with it is already a biased crowd.
The reason they are there is to feel a part of something. They don’t get to feel a part of something if they don’t support whatever he says. It is the same with people that go to Star Trek cons or rifftrax live shows. They are there to feel a part of a community first.
When he goes into his Bruce Willis bit they smilie knowingly before he even says anything besides the intro. So he gets all this laughter and smiles and claps from a bad bit. Which just encourages him to tell it more often.
It’s like training yourself wrong on purpose. Like if your wealthy but evil parents hired 200 people to be your “fans” at comedy shows and paid them only to laugh at the bad jokes for 2 years. You would have no idea what was actually funny
>>
>>221186319
This is just him saying shit for getting caught gooning to pictures of his daughter. "I HAD A BREAK FROM REALITY!"
>>
>>221186476
Complaining and insinuating you KNEW he was a dirty horn dog who made girls do SEXY TIME against their will but still worked exclusively for him are two different things

He knew, he looked the other way for cash.
>>
>>221186429
In one of the talks he sort of admitted he had never actually worked with a star before and disnt’t understand the power plays. (Ben afilck didn’t count because he worked with him before he was a star) or maybe that was when he was a guest on love Line or a podcast it all blends together.
It’s just different stakes when you are working with millions of dollars of budgets vs 70k budget films. Everyone is a power player. And want to fight to keep their career going well on every film

It’s actual not super uncommon heavy pot smokers. No not all of them, some can go forever with no such problem , but maybe 5% of them. Which is a small amount but also not rare
>>
>>221186699
Didn't he apologize after the turth got out about Bruce's condition?
>>
>>221177682
When he was making a shoestring black and white indie movie you could excuse this but when you're making a film for Warner Brothers you'd think he would at least have a DP or cinematographer to sort out the technical stuff like lenses.
>>
>>221186868
He is like the good pervert. What do I mean ?
If you ever notice the best hentai and manga are written by people who also make super unhinged perverted stuff you don’t like becuase it’s too edgy. But they also make normal porn, but somehow they make the best most erotic normal porn , like they need to be an extra pervert weirdo crossing the edge to also be better on this side of the edge than people who never cross it.

Well that’s the story, Bruce was mad he asked his DP instead of knowing himself. He knew what he wanted just not the names and numbers
>>
Honestly, Bruce Willis was probably more annoyed at having to work with Tracy Morgan, who is a completely insufferable person. But he didn't want to be racist so he just henpecked Kevin the whole time.

Sounds exactly like something a Boomer would do.
>>
>>221187037
That's the whole point of having a good DP. Sounds like Bruce was being pissy.
>>
Your boos mean nothing, I have seen what makes you cheer.

Drew Carrey's got to be on that list, too.

If you’re a longtime kevin hater like me then you owe it to yourself to watch this:

https://youtu.be/bXMGvPsNzaM

His attitude is just demented. So incredibly passive aggressive.
>>
>>221187175
Tracy Morgan seems nice and well meaning but completely aloof and impossible to wrangle and that would get annoying quickly. But Kevin Smith seems like a relentlessly annoying pissant.
