Heh, that's what I'm about to watch.
For some reason I've never seen it, despite being a huge Kevin Smith fan. (I even liked Jersey Girl.)
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

When I was a reviewer, I thought I was being taken to a screening of Jersey Girl in London with a Q and A with Kevin Smith.
It turned out I was just at one of those 'an evening with kevin smith' things.
I had a special seat laid on for me and my wife in the front row right in front of smith. The whole thing was sold out to fanboys.
When I realised I was just going to be listening to smith talking for a couple of hours I was in shock, and where could I run? I was in the front row.
I was pleasantly surprised, it was actually very entertaining. Trouble was, he just didn't stop. After the third hour I feared having to get a night bus or something home, which was not something I really wanted to do, plus I could tell it was waring thin on my wife.
We crept out one at a time but each of us got a comedy narration / monologue from Smith. Amazingly nobody else had left before us despite smith already running over by an hour and a half by the time we exited.
Outside were his wife and child. Wife smoking a cigarette. She made a comment that I remember was pretty witty but can't actually remember. Something about us being brave and that she had beat an exit early on and preferred to stand in the cold for a few hours rather than see her husband jerking off in front of hundreds of people.

You reviewed things? But you're a total clod.

My daughter's a big Smith fan and she really appreciated your story, thanks

Well, at least he's not a nasty bag of sarcasm and superiority who doesn't apologise for calling someone a sex pest. Wanker.

Oh I'm sorry. Of course in professionally in real life I am exactly like I am on an internet message board and I should have said . . ."No, I don't want your money, I know people that show potential to be better at this than me on the internet, I'll give you their user names, please call them."
When I am in the pub and someone asks me about the new Judge Dredd movie, I have a beautifully prepared review that takes a minute to say but covers everything brilliantly.

Your posts on the sheridan thread are not forgotten. Nor should they be.

I think I said you called me a sex pest, cunt. So fuck off, nothing else to say...just reminding you why.

I mean more that you don't have any sort of idea about film history or how the commonly accepted things that film is build around work - and that you seem unable to write or talk about why you disliked films.

What I write here is usually a first thought and very very casual. Just because I have wrote and reviewed professionally does not mean I have to here.
I am not a mad film buff and to be honest, as much as I know that could be a bonus, it doesn't change my opinion of a modern popular film and why I think it is good or bad.
I'm sorry that me being paid to review films makes you bitter, but they asked me and I couldn't afford to turn down the money.

It doesn't make me bitter. You've tried that twice now. It makes me surprised.

Well... I liked it.
I think anybody going into a Kevin Smith film not expecting it to be about 'finding true love in the last place you thought to look' is always going to be disappointed - he doesn't stray very far from what he knows works (for his fans). There were some great one-liners too - just a shame he cast slightly too many friends (and Tracii Lords) rather than people who can really act.

I apologize. It just sounded like that. Im I not allowed an opinion?
Don't worry I have not made money doing it for years now anyway.

Of course you're allowed an opinion. The opinion that i think your views are ill-informed has nothing to do with whether you get paid for it or not. Telling that you now - three times - emphasise that you did, in fact, get paid.

I went to see it on orange wednesday with one of my daughters - 12 people in the room, perfect aronofsky. 3 people walked out in the first hour.
He said it's a joint work with The Wrestler.
I liked it.

I watched 'Searching For Sugarman' on DVD a couple of nights ago, great little documentary film, it was excellent.
In fact, I thought it was so good I blogged a wee review of it - Searching For Sugarman

Nice one, had swerved that one for some reason. I totally had the wrong idea what it was about.

Oh don't worry, your partner will drag you to see some film you hate many times...every now and then you'll be pleasantly surprised but most of the time it'll be biting your lip, shutting the fuck up hell.

It's more the attitude that someone would be determined to hate something because it intrigues their partner, rather than me being worried that I may be made to watch a film I may not like, that I find sad. Because apparently what interests women can't interest men and the other way round. Or how does this work, because I see it a lot ?

It's an issue that you raised. You didn't even pick me up on anything 'ill informed' you just made a snide comment about a short anecdote that wasn't even about a film. I am also surprised that you were 'surprised' that I was once a film reviewer give that I seem to talk about it so much.
Yes yes, most dignified and insightful. Thanks.
You know, you were perfectly pleasant to me on these boards and elsewhere right up until a completely unrelated matter in which you were spectacularly disrespectful to an old friend of mine in the public eye, who passed away (making generalizations about him and me by proxy because I was his friend). It revealed that the judgments you make, even the very trivial, are not based wholly on the present subject matter, and I think this devalues your opinion on just about everything hugely.
Your comments would feel as harmless as any other internet crusader had your opinion of me not completely flipped overnight.
It makes my skin crawl just remembering it, and I would just like to ask you again as I did back then, to please never interact with me again.
