What went so horribly wrong?

Clerks 2
He thought he was good at directing movies instead of taking advantage of the 2000s age of single shot sitcoms with vulgar characters and writing.
Clerks the movie worked as a pilot
Clerks should have been an HBO show in 1998
Southwest Airlines
He's a narcissist and was and will always be a giant, disgusting nerd.
He never progressed as a writer. The greatest line from any of his movies was in fucking Mall Rats, when Stan Lee is talking to brody.
That being said, Mall Rats, Clerks and Dogma are very entertaining and memorable movies, but you can see him getting less and less grounded with each new film.
He seems like a pompous, phony nerd. Like Lucas, and Spielberg. But what truly seperates him from those directors and the ones in the OP, is that if you don't reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep tonight.
Nowadays he cried about not getting into movie screenings
With age, he lost what youthful vigor his diet allowed.
With success, he got lazy with increasing frequency and rested on his laurels too much.
He gambled everything on his first film and it paid dividends for nearly 20 years. Now he has found a niche for himself with the show and his podcast, making him able to reach a premade audience eager to hear what he has to say. That is all the effort he has to put into his work these days, anything more is a bonus so he can produce pet projects instead of developing good projects.
>Jim Brewer as Randall
The brightest timeline.
i still like his movies but the guys kinda annoying. i really enjoyed tusk (johnny depp was awful though)
is that the mom from the americans? man she used to be kawaii
But Tarantino and Anderson are weirdos too
...
I liked the Flash episode he directed, he seems like a genuine nerd doritos and everything
imagine that fat fuck "pleasing" his woman
that's fucking disgusting man
>What went so horribly wrong?
Chasing Amy
He's a big guy
o no
DUDE WEED LMAO
she's still cute
You faggot. I hate this meme.
...
>imagining his daughter reading this
>clit pOwns my dick
What did he mean by this?
Zzfrz
imagine his daughter reading the script for yoga hosers
makes sense
He doesn't give a fuck. He cast her as a camgirl in a short film
Fuck you
What do you call this look?
Most of his audience grew out of 90s stoner humor.
He didn't.
...
Not so fast!
is that his disgusting daughter?
Dogma was alright, but not memorable.
Sup Forums casual
You piece of shit
Wow, I never thought of it that way.
>clit/brown/taint-area
there's just something so disgusting about Kevin Smith.
kevin smith has always been shit. clerks was a fluke. that said i fucking loved dogma and jay and silent bob strike back when i was 12
lmao'd. +1 for creativity
This
And this
He had planned to do a sequel to Clerks earlier but decided that because (I assume) he had milked it for everything from toys to comics to an animated series a sequel was the one whorish line he hadn't crossed.
Jersey Girl was his only attempt to grow as a filmmaker. It was shit but he at least tried something different.
But it failed and he immediately went back to leeching off of his most popular movie. Since then he's just been leeching off other filmmakers
>Judd Apatow with Zack & Miri
>Coen Bros with Red State
>Tom Six with fucking Tusk
a short film that was hands down the weakest segment in an ensemble movie
the man got fucking Halloween for a horror ensemble and managed to fuck it up
I never even respond to these posts, but fuck you
What about if I save him to my phone?
Wrong. He's NEVER claimed to be a good director. He is incredibly self deprecating and having met the man and spent a bit of time with him, I completely respect his attitude towards life and his career.
He can only do one thing. Just like rob zombie and shamalan, he's a meme director. It's why he writes his own stuff because he isn't a real film maker. More of a lucky film enthusiast/hobbyist desu
Everytime I see him his shorts get longer.
(you)
this. Seth Rogen introduced him and his wife to pot around the time he made Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Robbed him of his ambition.
This is bait, Tarantino is garbage
He never learned to stop talking or to do anything but film like a lazy fuck.
This is bait, Smith is the best of them
You fucking cunt.
I said
SINGLE SHOT SITCOM
Shit like Always Sunny
i was just showing it off
Didn't like Red State
Apparently OP didn't care for Red State.
I think he's still got quite a bit of maturing to do as a director, he'll be fine.
well done
fuck you bitch
i would agree with this because there were moments in tusk that were impressive for kevin as a filmmaker but he took a bunch of steps backwards with yoga hosers
Turneed out, the dude had, like, two movies in him, tops. MAYBE three.
He made them, and then he made them AGAIN, and any time he did something different, he just couldn't handle it.
Is this shooped?
rly made me think, tbqh
no
mommy
You got me, you cheeky little cunt
Whatever you may think of their films, Tarantino, Linklater, Lucas, and Spielberg all truly love the whole history of cinema and know how to put a cinematic sequence together. Smith was only mentioned with Tarantino et. al by lazy ignorant film journalists and publicity humanoids.
His worship of Stan Lee is appropriate: He was always more into being a fanboy celebrity than an actual filmmaker. Oh, and fuck you and your meme.
...
You fucking ni
...
Fucker
fucking cunt
Ai yai yai
fuck you
Do those even count as "shorts" anymore?
Oy vey
his jorts are almost to his feet just wear fucking pants already
For me it kinda went like this:
>Clerks: holy shit, this guy could be the voice of his generation
>Mallrats: well, at least we have a great comedic director and we may get some pop culture Mel Brooks type movies.
>Chasing Amy: His best work. Really hit home and reinvigorated my love for his movies
>Dogma. Fucking horrible, and I like bad movies. Felt like him taking out his frustration on Catholicism, but afraid to really go there.
>Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back: realized he was turning into a shite director. Really...a monkey...
>Jersey Girl: couldn't even watch it...
>Clerks II: lost all respect for him
>Zack & Miri: even worse than Clerks. If this had been made in the early 80's he might've had something.
>Cop Out: like visiting a Cringe thread. Like watching a car wreck
>Red State: only watched to see how bad...loved it. My fave KS movie after Clerks.
>Tusk: Loved it!! really thought I would hate it.
Now looking forward to Yoga Hosers. Never thought he could get my attention again.
Guyo
Here's your (you), you fucking piece of shit
Her clit is larger than his penis... or the part that is able to turtle out from under all that fat.
Oh go to hell.
How is that crying?
Really made me think
Fuck (you), I haven't heard from my mom in a week and she is in the hospital and don't want her to die
hes clearly mentally ill
in a bad way
the only person i've ever met that likes kevin smith is a DUDE WEED turbofaggot. that told me everything i needed to know about him without even watching his movies
>Chasing Amy
The screenplay is far superior to the film. That shrieking cat that plays Amy in the film can't do justice to what your imagination conjures up when you read the character's dialogue.
Is this real?
good
His wife wrote this after he lost a bet to her
I hate you so fucki g much you cunt.
You are garbage.
And if you, the poster of the post I quoted, does not post his name, address, and phone number, YOUR MOTHER WILL DIE, tonight...
Bettet see a (You) by that post, or it doesn't count.
WHY HAS NO ONE DONE THIS BEFORE? ??
I hope his mother dies lol.
think you just killed a bitch haha
I seriously hope his mom dies tonight. It would serve him right.
Why ask me? Your mother already knows what my address is, ask her.
Nice samefagging btw.
