Kevin Smith

It was more that he is too busy on inside jokes and enjoyment of the process to put together something compelling. I liked Red State okay but his explanation of the ending with all the special effects being one option and the actual ending being the other I was thinking: so he just randomly zigs or zags. He didn't really have something to say.

Spike Lee


Son went from making epic dramas to amateur student film status

:mjcry:

I wish he'd just try to aim for Netflix with something, and build that cache up again. His recent record is TRASH, I can understand why he can't get a good film gig.

My choice: Francis Ford Copolla. Granted dude made 4 perfect movies in a row: Godfather, The Conversation, Godfather II, Apocalypse Now. But after that...

Dracula isn't bad IMO, I fux with the style but it has some major flaws - like Keanu Reeves being trash. Jack... :scust:

Francis Ford Coppola had the worst fall off ever but he also OWNED the 1970s so it doesn't really matter what he put out after 1979...he's got 4 classics in a 7 year period. No one else has that, not even close.

Ridley Scott fell off a long time ago and Spike Lee did too

It hurts with Kevin because he's still a good writer but it just seems like you said he's too worried about inside jokes. I liked Clerks 2 a lot I'm hoping Clerks 3 is dope

Tusk was actually a fun B movie...it was stupid as fukk, but it felt like a 1980s movie where everyone was having fun and it was never boring

And Clerks 2 is severely underrated

See I can't speak for Tusk because I still haven't seen it although I want to. I was more so speaking for Red State and a lot of the stuff he did in between Clerks 2 and Tusk which would be the porno flick, cop out, etc. Clerks 2 is very dope. And he had something to say so you could tell his passion was there. If Clerks 3 is just as good as that one, I'm good

Zach and Miri was funny as fukk and I still don't know why people didn't like it. Cop Out was a director for Hire job, so I don't count it for Smith and Red State was a clusterfukk.
