A non-political thread from me!!!!!

Being from the same area of NJ as Kevin Smith I have always adored his films as inane as they may be to some. "I'm not even supposed to be here today" from clerks is great. Then there's Jay and Silent Bob "All you motherf***ers are gonna pay, You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna f*** your mothers while you watch and cry like little b*****s. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax f**** who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our s***, then s*** out our s***, then eat their s***t which is made up of our s*** that we made 'em eat. Then you're all f***ing next"

What do you like of his work?

Chasing Amy is my favorite. I don't know that I have a favorite quote but the exchange where Randal gets Dante to admit he tried to suck his own dick was pretty inspired, just because I've known people who manipulate conversations that way.

Mallrats.

With Dogma in second.


The assault on the Easter Bunny in Mallrats is quite..... amusing.

I love Chasing Amy, love it. I especially love the dynamic between Banky and just about everyone else dealing with his own sexual orientation.

Speaking of manipulating conversations

Brandi: Suitor number 3, is your kiss like a soft breeze, a firm handshake or a jackhammer?
Gil Hicks: Definitely a jackhammer, I'm in there with some pressure and when I'm done, you're not the same as before. You're changed.
Brodie: Where do you come up with this shit? That's the cheesiest response to an honest question I have ever heard. I saw you kiss and it wasn't anything like that.
Bob Summers: [Chuckling] Suitor #2, you'll have to wait until you're addressed before you respond.
Brodie: Richard Dawson, why don't you just go back to your podium until it's time to play The Feud. All right?
[Audience laughs]
Gil Hicks: Who the hell did you see me kiss?
Brodie: Some dude backstage. I don't know who he was but he seemed unimpressed.
Gil Hicks: I didn't kiss any guy backstage. I swear. I'm not gay.
Brodie: Hey, Suitorette, this guys a homophobe. You heard how repulsed he sounded. Is this the kind of guy you want to spend a vacation with? This hate-monger?
Gil Hicks: I don't hate gay people.
Brodie: So you love them?
Gil Hicks: Yes. I mean no.
Brodie: Textbook closet case self-loather. Can't be comfortable with his own sexuality.

I love Mallrats, and yeah, lines from Kevin Smith movies get repeated around my house constantly.....the most popular/useful ones are

"in a row?!"

and

" what? like the back of a Volkswagen?"

I only saw dogma...It was okay...

I have no idea what people see in the talentless Kevin Smith.

It could be worse, people went to see Norbit.

I think you have to have a small amount of intelligence to "get" his movies. It's not like watching Balls of Fury, or Dodgeball or something.

You certainly have to have a small amount of intelligence. Any more and you'd walk out.

One of the ones that always seems to pop into my head is this scene from Mallrats:

Little Girl: [looking at a Magic Eye poster] Wow. It's a schooner.
Willam Black: Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat.
Little Boy: A schooner IS a sailboat stupid head.
Willam Black: [becoming enraged] You know what. There is NO Easter Bunny. Over there, that's just a guy in a suit.
