Do you think he'll show up to protest the re-release like he did with the original?

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

That would be epic and classic smith

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I'm tempted to do that myself!

...right up until I tell someone to hold my sign for me because my movie is about to start, and then I go inside to watch it.

time to find a bob outfit and make a dogma is dogshit sign! (iirc that's what smith was holding)

Down with this sort of thing!

There's one thing everyone here can agree on - fuck Harvey Weinstein.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 27 points 2 weeks ago

Whenever this guy's name pops up, I remember Courtney Love, on the red carpet for something, was asked her advice to young actresses. She responded something like "don't be alone in a room with Harvey Weinstein." She had an extremely promising acting career, but dropped off the face of the earth after that remark.

Fuck Harvey Weinstein.

That was in a short reel during the comedy central roast of pamela anderson.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 2 weeks ago

100% chance he cried when he found out.

Can't wait for Dogma 2: Dante's Inferno

[-] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

Does this mean they’re going to pull it from YouTube?

It’s been available to stream there for years because no one was making any copyright claims against it.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

I mean there's a copyright holder.... So yeah.. increased chances

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Man that's awesome to hear

Kevin Smith talks about protesting his own movie "Dogma"

[+] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net -54 points 2 weeks ago

Yay! Now he can ruin another on of his beloved movies from before he was bad at making things!

[-] Djinn@lemm.ee 26 points 2 weeks ago

Kevin has made a few disappointing films over the years, but I wouldn’t say he’s a bad filmmaker.

The 4:30 Movie is quite good, and probably the most mature comedy he’s ever made. It really felt like a return to form so I’d recommend giving that a chance if you enjoyed his early work.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Never saw it but I will check it out

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

Tusk was a cinematic masterpiece you philistine!

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Red State is also a fun diversion from his older work.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When I first watched it I didn't know he was the director. I was impressed with his range as a director.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fair, I stand corrected

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 15 points 2 weeks ago

Later movies don't impact earlier ones. Clerks is still a masterpiece.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, Clerks ceased to exist the moment Smith put out Yoga Hosers. That's the way the world works. Everything later ruins earlier works and can delete them entirely if they're bad enough.

[-] bad_news@lemmy.billiam.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, art stands above and outside the artist, but to SOME extent new Clerks tarnishes it

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

He doesn't even understand why people like clerks. Or at least ye pretends to. He always acts embarrassed that he made the movie and people still like it. He never did anything better and he never will. And i don't think he cares, all he wants is to make a marvel Disney movie and make a billion dollars.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Needs sources.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Lol. That's possibly the best way to get people to list out the great movies he's made. I'll go ahead say it, I love Jay and Silent Bob.
