Zack and Miri Make A Porno

 

Really really shit. No laughs whatsoever. Kevin Smith gets exponentially worse with every film he makes.

Adventureland. Decent coming of age flick set in the summer of 87 about some kids working at a shit theme park. Worth a look. Its on Sky Anytime at the minute if anyone's interested.

 

aye, i enjoyed that. one of the mrs gloom's rare good picks. i was expecting the usual romcom drivel that she loves but was pleasantly surprised.

I'm begining to worry about some of my taste in films recently because I enjoyed this but quite a few people who's opinion I respect think it's gash.

It was ok, nothing memorable but if it was a choice between it and the latest Will Farrell piece of mindless shite, Kevin Smith wins every time.

The other thing people often forget was they saw Clerks 15 years ago and could associate with it (or at least hope to be the stiff in the bathroom), you look at Zack in his mid 30s and think how the fuck could anyone be so clueless and who in the right mind would want to fuck granny pants?

Like Tarrentino, Smith is merely making the same movie over and over.

 

Seven Pounds, I don't know why but I really like this movie and the emotions it pulls.

The only thing that stands out for me is it is so obviously a "white middle class" movie made with a black cast.

I don't think "people" forget that....I think Kevin Smith does. You can't blame the viewer for Kevin Smith's fixation on useless nerd's getting the girl of their dreams or the stagnation that come's with it.

Mmm, you know exactly what I mean HF - we as viewers have moved on from that point in our life so we no longer find it entertaining but I bet Kevin who is at that point in his life, albeit slightly thicker, as we were when Clerks/Amy/Malrats were released, found Zack and Miri a good movie or at least titillating.

 

You say I can't blame the viewer for Smith's fixation but I disagree, Smith knows he makes the same movie over and over, well he does now after the panning he received for the cop thing he did which was an attempt to make a "non Kevin Smith film" (his words not mine) and so anyone who is beyond that for entertainment is failing KS because they should know what they are getting.

Definite case of author insertion with Zack & Miri IMO.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

 

The audience of bairns and tweens seemed to enjoy it, my kidnapper for the occasion included, so who am I to argue. Actually not half bad for a kids' film - a bit episodic and formulaic in places, but ticks along with snappy visuals otherwise, and it's interesting to see a lead character who's actively manipulative, weasely and unpleasant in his efforts to become popular. Though I'm sure that was largely lost on the target audience. :lol:

Kevin Smith is a whiny shit. I hate the fat prick.

 

His last movie with Bruce Willis in it was supposed to be absolutely abysmal.

Die Hard 4.0? :lol:

I think it was Cop Out. He was making excuses about Willis being hard to deal with. You'd think he knew that working in Die Hard 4.0 with him before casting him in his lead role.

It was a studio picture, a first for Smith and most likely he didn't have a say in the cast.

Original Smith working title was something like, Two Dicks with Guns.

I like Kevin Smith.

 

Not as much as Scott Mosier and Walt Flannegan, but he's a nice fella.

 

Flannagan is fucking hilarious. I started listening to the Steve-Dave podcast after reading you post about them on here btw, so cheers for that. Look forward to it every week now.

Kevin Smith is a right fat cunt who has made one or two ok comedy films and a whole lot of shite. He has a similar affect on nerds that Cheryl Tweedy has on chavs, ie they go into raptures at his very presence. Given that he is a nerd deity, he has a solid fanbase of them who buy every product he offers and flock in droves to gawp at him sweating profusely and telling dull stories about meeting someone famous who turns out to be a dick. Fair play to him he's capitalized on his niche appeal to fat bastards and geeks but I don't rate him that highly and his films have been mega shite for a while.

Just had to google him. Tbh I've never heard of the fella. Sounds shit by the looks of things.
