Smith's daughter seems like the type who will inevitably pose nude to achieve some level of relevance.

Did he died?

Good.

why would anything other than this be the outcome of this movie

>meanwhile snyderflicks get similar scores but far more forgiving consensus because WB owns RT

I can't believe this groveling manchild actually used to be a decent writer.

Way too fucking high

kevin smith's movies are always garbage though

Rotten Tomatoes is such an arrogant shithole

I mean seriously, their little smug anonymous "summary" they feel the need to attach on top of quotes from ACTUAL CRITICS reveals all you need to know about their site design philosophy and the amount of respect they have for their audience

Is it over? Will we ever see Moose Jaws?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_North_trilogy

My question is at what point did movies start putting rotten tomatoes scores in the commercials?

The worst part about circa 2016 Kevin Smith, worse than any of his trash movies, is that he preemptively discounts any criticism with DUDE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SILLY AND BAD IT'S A MOVIE FOR KIDS LMAO

Hackery 101

How many shots of his daughter's ass did Kevin Smith make in this movie?

This is honestly no surprise though.

>mfw my nephew's name is Hal Jordan

Good. Im sick of his slut daughter parading around already.

The RLM defense.

Kevin Smith's career was never promising.

trying to turn himself into a schlock meister
churns out pure garbage

>It's not like I c-care about reviews!
>They'll become cult classics!

I'm more interested in Depp's daughter.

That's interesting.

what are these screenshots from?

>Harley Quinn Smith

i'd ride that harley

She makes me feel day, and I'm not a girl

*gay

sorry i'm a bit tipsy

It was, immediately after the surprise success of Clerks.

The promise evaporated immediately once he followed that up with Mallrats and never made anything even half decent after that turd.

>once promising career
>Kevin Smith
when did he ever had that?

why does she make you feel that way?
she's very beautiful.

Daily reminder get hype for Planetarium.

RLM can get away with that shit since they're amateurs who can't get funding or professional actors. Kevin Smith is a Hollywood director who can get funding and professional actors. He has no excuse.

The most predictable pan of the year. The trailer was even worse than the Ghostbusters 2016 trailer.

She has Johnny's face and particularly square jawline, it's like I'm looking at his face shopped on a girl's body

Uncunny

>you will never get hosed with yoghurt

This. He is known for cult classics. None of his films have been particularly commercially successful.

I bet she's already a massive Eurotrash whore.

None of his film have been particurlarly good.

You guys are forgetting that Clerks got critical acclaim when it came out and a ton of people thought Kevin Smith was gonna be the next Quentin Tarantino or Richard Linklater.

It's either him watching his daughters film or watching The Force Awakens. He's a big ol' crybaby.

>naming your daughter after a OC donut steel cartoon fetish character

He deserves no pity.

way too skinny

I cant see it that much even when they're side to side
Call me out for shit taste, but this makes me hard, I have a thing fir eurotrash.

He made a video of him crying during The Flash TV show season finale. You can find the video on his YT channel.

Naming your kid after your waifu seems like a recipe for disaster.

Is it just by chance or were they like "Fuckin' A, Green Lantern my kid up"?

Deserves a 50% for the fap material alone 78]-[/=4/'/\

>Do your worst

I guess he took the tagline to heart

No, my brother-in-law is literally gay for Green Lantern.

How come alcoholics can be decent writers but people who smoke weed can't?

>Two sisters in pre-war France believe they have the ability to communicate with the dead.


Holy shit that actually sounds great.

Because most people who smoke weed think too highly of themselves and think they got life all figured out. Some do it as a pass time, while others make it their livelihood and the gimmick to their existence.
At least with people who drink destroy themselves and are depressed enough to let out legitimate emotion.

At least it was his civilian name and he wasn't named fucking Green Lantern

This girl definitely purge

Why did he shit the bed?

I can't believe he got laid
But then again, he's rich and his wife is a jew, so I guess I can

He isn't a very creative guy. He's the perfect example of a director who peaked very early on and hasn't had many good ideas since then. Mallrats was decent but pretty much a big budget retread of Clerks, Chasing Amy got a ton of critical acclaim at the time but looking back it's a fairly standard 90s indie melodrama, Dogma was mediocre, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was amusing but retarded and Jersey Girl was a total disaster. Clerks 2 was surprisingly good but most of his post-Clerks 2 films have been completely awful.

Red State wasn't completely awful and neither was Dogma but I agree his writing became stale after Chasing Amy.

I think the problem is, as someone pointed out in the thread, that he's a huge manchild, he's never really matured as a writer and director. For the most part he keeps rehashing the same ideas in different packages.

this. Zack and Miri make Porn was one of the worst movies I've ever seen

I liked Yoga Hosers. Not because it was a good movie, it's really bad.

But because Kevin Smith seems to have found a niche making shitty little 5 million dollar movies about anything he fucking wants.

It's like he's just decided to make fucking Troma movies, and he can limit his scope and budget to the extent that he can just go with whatever retarded idea pops into his weed-addled mind.

And with almost every movie release out there being 100+ million dollar capeshit, I'm glad there is someone out there making little retarded movies about cute blonde girls fighting sausage Nazis.

>For the most part he keeps rehashing the same ideas in different packages.
This, throughout most of his career he has tried to replicate Clerks but Clerks 2 is the only time he came close to pulling it off. Jersey Girl was his attempt at being "mature" and it was painfully bad, Red State was his attempt at horror and it was surprisingly okay but the rest of his horror films have been unwatchable.

Vulgar was his best film

good Kevin Smith is a shit director he made clerks and he thinks he is a critically acclaimed director.

I think Chasing Amy's lack of success is what killed him. It is one of my favourite movies and it seems to get some love on Sup Forums, but most people don't recognise it for what it is. The proposal at the ending is a little disjointed but the dialogue is clever all the way through. I think it is unfair to label it as a standard 90's indie melodrama given all of the blue humour and juvenile characters. It has surprising emotional depth given the lack of elegance with which it delivers its themes and all of Holden's problems feel real. Plus Alyssa did come across convincingly as the wiser, lust-for-life girl.

Had it experienced more commercial success I believe Smith would have continued to strive for greater, more ambitious projects but he seemed to relegate himself to quirky and retarded afterwards, too afraid to strive for anything great again given that his last reach was so tepidly received.

Clerks is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I don't understand why people keep saying Kevin Smith used to be good

That shit is when I gave up on Kevin Smith. It was extremely unfunny.

this is true, the trick is not letting the booze destroy your creative drive

t. alchie

>Clerks is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
Come on, you can't seriously think that. Go watch Jersey Girl or something Kevin Smith has made within the last 8 years and by the time it's done you'll be saying Clerks isn't so bad.

I don't care that that movie is shittier than his others, Clerks is fucking terrible no matter what

Classic 90's movie with great social commentary about the time. It was a slice of small town life in a funny way.

>im a teenager and im judging films from the nineties indie explosion without any context

When was Kevin Smith's career ever promising?

The problem with Yoga Hosers is that it seems to have no idea what tone it's going for. It's supposed to be aimed at 12 year old girls(according to Kevin), but it's also trying to be a shlocky Troma horror, but it's PG-13 which kills any of the potential shlock appeal, and the comedy is painfully unfunny. It fails as a horror movie, a b-movie/cult movie, a comedy and a tween movie. It makes you wonder who he made this movie for. It seems he really did make the movie only for himself and maybe his family and Depp's family, although it's so embarrassing I don't see how they could derive any enjoyment from it. He even snuck in a jab at critics, which just reinforces the notion that this was entirely a selfish project.

The writing and acting are unbearably bad. Are you guys claiming I have to watch it through nostalgia goggles to enjoy it? Because that makes me like it even less.

>-_-
Her eye and mouth width is ridiculous. Could be worse i guess, look like the Willis sisters.

The writing is a very accurate depiction of the depressing aimlessness of Gen X and the acting is good considering no one in it is a professional. I can understand not liking it though, the humor will only appeal to a certain niche and if you aren't apart of that niche then you'll probably think the movie is incredibly dull.

Clerks and its success made people see potential in Smith's career. It was promising around then; after all he didn't have a Yoga Hosers or a Cop Out or a Zack & Miri under his belt back then. He was just some indie filmmaker that wanted to make a comedy movie with his friends. Luckily he had over 20 thousand dollars worth of comic books to fund it.

I guarantee you he was going for the tween demographic, as he said. The problem is he had zero experience in that field and ended up going too far in too many stupid directions.

1994 and 1997. When Clerks came out a ton of people thought he was gonna go onto bigger and better things and when Chasing Amy came out people thought he was finally breaking away from the Clerks mold and was gonna get more ambitious.

I don't care what generation you're from, no one talks like that. Kevin Smith's acting as the lead is so uninspired and emotionless its cringeworthy. Everyone else is pretty bad, too. That entire conversation they have at the beginning of the film about snow balling almost made me shut the movie off from pure boredom and distaste for their poor acting. I hoped it would get better but it didn't. I'm not saying it doesn't represent a certain feeling but the acting is absolute garbage

Should have made it as an R rated movie.
PG-13 was a mistake. Tweens are the ultimate pleb crowd.

It was a fathom event at most theatres anyways, it's gonna bomb like tusk did.

>Kevin Smith's acting as the lead
What? Kevin plays Silent Bob.

I don't feel the rating alone would've helped much. It would likely have been better than what we got, but there was so much wrong with it that gorier content and more dick jokes wouldn't have helped.

The times have passed Kevin Smith by. The world is moving on.

And everybody's celebrating

And while he was great in it, he wasn't the lead, even in Strike Back. He was always with Jay.

A near identical comparison would be Penn and Teller. Teller was always my favorite, but he was likewise just there as a quiet contrast to the more talkative and obnoxious main act.

Does anyone knows who's job it is to write the language? Do they usually paraphrase statements in reviews or directly quote language used or is it just some schmuck would potentially could not have seen the movie?

>Kevin Smith's acting as the lead

Way to show you've never even seen the movie you fucking idiot.

Can't wait.

Literally the definition of a hack.

I'm thankful he gave us Clerks, though.

Jody Hill is what Kevin Smith should have been.

Also, there's a scene where Harley gets fucked by a black guy while her dad reenacts the "crying to Flash finale" scene in the corner.

kool meme

My copy of Sicario on blu-ray has a little "certified FRESH" symbol on the front. It's fucking hideous.

they tend to do it on smaller releases now. i work in a video rental store and i actually think it works. people will mention the "fresh" when they rent something they're taking a chance on.

He is too wrapped up in pop culture reference and lacks broader influences to temper his style.

>and Jersey Girl was a total disaster

he says without having watched it

Seriously, all of Smith's movies have been good, even Tusk - the ending was as heartbreaking as it was absurd and the film is beautifully shot.

I like the trailer for Yoga Hosers too, the shop counter scene shows that Smith hasn't lost any of his knack for authentic dialogue. Even if there are CGI weenies running around, the film still has the advantage of a funny central B-movie idea (pitching a Canadian wannabe fascist leader from the 30s as a villain in the present), Johnny Depp as Guy Lapointe, and of course how astutely Smith captures interactions between young people.

>i work in a video rental store

Are you posting from 2004?

can you return it?

Absolutely disgusting. If they're going to put that garbage on the front of boxes to attract shitters, then they could at least have it as a sticker on the plastic wrap.
