Kevin Smith makes films for himself. If you happen to enjoy them too, then that's a bonus. I'm a big fan, personally.

In the famous words of The Clerk from Clerks, "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

I did enjoy their “Strikes Back” film (while drunk) - especially the scene where they go round to the houses of everyone who abused them on line just to punch them in the face. Childish but very satisfying

There was 1 moment when I did proper LOL but I can’t remember what that was.

It's shite. He's permanently stoned these days, so he doesn't give a shit what anybody thinks of his increasingly woeful films. He thinks they are all great.
However, I'll always have a soft spot for him because through him we have the Tell'Em Steve Dave podcast.

This thread made me think "what was the name of that other film director who should have been left behind in the 1990s?" and now I've remembered that Richard Linklater exists.
Fucking hell, that's harsh. Richard Linklater has made some brilliant films.

Yeah, they're not all bad. But when they are bad they can be awful.

It's absolute rubbihsh. Amateurish cheap trash. Not in a good way.
It made me question all of Smiths output. . . conclusion. . . he got lucky with Clerks. Clerks isn't actually a great film but it has charm and was something different at the time. After Clerks he had big money to make his crap ideas at least look like proper films. . . but they were college kid nonsense. I actually liked Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back but after seeing everything else Smith has done, I am not sure how he accomplished it. Is it a fluke? Did someone else carry him? His recent films look bad, they are loose and cheap and you can smell the desperation. They are not cute low budget films made with love. They are badly scripted, badly filmed, straight to video knock offs.
Not seen Red State or Cop Out.
