“O.K., So It’s Not His Funniest Film,” is an interview with Kevin Smith, the man Dave loves to hate. There are a bunch of funny quotes, I liked the following:
CURTIS A lot of people think of you as somebody running away from the conventions of genre films. But you don’t see yourself as that.
SMITH Not at all. When I look at “Clerks,” I don’t think of it as, “This runs away from the genre conventions.” I look at it as, “Well, we didn’t have any money.”
And this one, which I read at Signal to Noise first:
CURTIS You made a controversial movie about Catholicism, “Dogma.” What did you think about “The Passion of the Christ”?
SMITH I haven’t seen it yet. I think it’s funny, though, that people bring it up and ask me, “What do you think of the controversy?” I’m like, “What controversy?” The dude made a movie about Jesus in a country that’s largely Christian a very traditional movie and it’s made over $200 million in two weeks. There ain’t no controversy, people. That’s a hit. They took one or two Jewish leaders in the beginning and said, “This may be construed as anti-Semitic,” and then spun it into a must-see movie for hard-core Christians. You’ve got to go see it if you love Jesus. I wish to God I had thought to do that when I was making “Dogma.”

A simple blog of sorts. Updated sporadically at best. Here you will find my opinions on various topics of interest to me, or the goings on of my day. Yes, it's quite exciting I know.
