I don't watch them as much as I used to but to say that you can't hold onto something you loved when younger as you turn older is just retarded. What did you do at 18 Wildson, turn into a massive cliché of an adult, I still have as much time for 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves' as I do 'Silent Light' but for much different reasons.

Clerks

If I was only allowed to own a handful of films that would still be in there, it means to much to me. From going to late night Duke of Yorks showings to getting it on VHS for only £17.99 (bargain - those were the days) to getting cheesy memorabilia from the View Askew shop for birthdays and that’s not even mentioning any of the film. Ripping it of at college for projects and helping me embrace the use of the term "Cinéma vérité" in low-brow films and sounding like a cock and introducing me to Cassavetes et al its importance to me is massive.

There that was fun. (Although Brian O'Halloran can. not. act. much.)

People past the age of 30 who make shit films

and can't accept criticism with a grain of maturity, then proceed to make childish insults.

Any other filmmaker > Smith.

Even Uwe Boll.

Maybe if the criticism

had been uttered in a slightly more mature manner, the response would have been formulated accordingly.

Chasing Amy was dire though, I'll give you all that.

i'm all confused anyway, i thought that person was saying smith is shit, and they're not, what have i gotten myself into

If you measure someones worth on their "success"

then why is it that analysts criticise have and always will criticise Presidents, Prime Ministers, leaders from Silicon Valley on their work? Surely they've done more with their lives?

You're just a rabid fan who can't see past their own devotion for someone's body of work and can only play the "you are on the internet, thus you're worthless" card.

I'll be logging off here in ten minutes and going on with my life. Maybe i'll succeed and maybe I won't. But your attitude and argument is truly disgusting to me.

I accept that you love Kevin Smith. I admire other people too. But they're just people. And just because I found Smith's handling of that situation to be childish and repugnant for a man who has no need to act in such a way, you have no right to be so stuck up and arrogant when I criticise his behaviour.

Next time there's a thread about David Cronenberg, criticise him and I promse i'll be a little more humble and not such a cunt about one of my heroes being insulted.

such a sensitive soul

watch out for people in the street who say bad words as well x

naive_melody | 6 May '08, 20:27 | Send note | Report this | Reply

oh and by the way

I didn't say a word about what I actually think of his films. I happen to like a few of them and surely, his behaviour and work are two different things. So maybe you should be the one growing up a little and not rushing to the defence of a millionaire.

He doesn't care about you either.
