The Molly Shannon scene in J&SBR is one of the most awkward and unfunny things I've ever seen

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: What movies are you watching?
A lot of the humor in the scene hinges on the inherent comedy of the homophones "wait" and "weight"

Re: What movies are you watching?
why are you proud? I saw every Smith movie. I was a huge fan back then with Chasing Amy, Mallrats and Dogma. But he has been sucking for a loooong time and this flick is just plain awful. Its worst that the previous Jay and Silent Bob, which was horrible.durdencommatyler wrote:Hustlers is brilliant. Joker to me is kinda like There Will Be Blood; not a brilliant film, but a brilliant performance. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot I have not seen and am shocked Guy saw it. Proud of you, Guy.
BONE FUCKIN´ TOMAHAWK.

Saw Angel Has Fallen. Decent action movie, but nothing really special.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I'm just saying a lot of people wouldn't even give him a chance given his recent output. I think it's cool that you still do. I'm trying to fucking compliment you, I don't know why you want to make it weird.VinylGuy wrote:Because i still watch his movies?

I liked Red State. But I don't think I've seen any of his other recent works.

Red State was alright yeah....But mainly the guy has been faking it for sooo long. Even Tusk...what a waste. He is so fucking full of himself.

Re: What movies are you watching?
That seems like a really common critique of Kevin Smith and I honestly just don't understand that. The guy has always come across as genuine to me. He's always seemed like someone who really appreciates that he gets to do this at all. *shrugs*VinylGuy wrote:Red State was alright yeah....But mainly the guy has been faking it for sooo long.
