New Kevin Smith Movie


Angelus
 Share

Recommended Posts

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]I have been really interested in Jersey Girl since I first heard about it. Looking at the trailer (I AM assuming that we are talking about the same movie?) this movie is going to be pretty good. I like Ben Affleck, and think that he is going to do very well in this movie. Liv Tyler also seems like she will do well in her role. George Carlin is always a treat to watch on screen. Also, the girl who plays Ben Affleck's daughter (don't know her name). . she seems to me that she will do well in this role. I appreciate when child actors/actresses do really well in movies.

I am really hoping that Kevin Smith has a cameo in the movie (I am almost positive he will, though I heard somewhere that he might not. . *shrug*). I think that his wife has a bit in the movie too, that will be cool. . hopefully a bigger role then in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Lastly, I am glad that Jennifer Lopez isn't going to be just a cameo. While I really enjoyed some of her earlier works, I just haven't seen anything good from her lately. Well. . that's it ^_^ Just some quick thoughts for you there. . if anyone wants a quick synapsis of the movie, just post, and I can give a quick run-down (or perhaps even Angelus might).

I havent really been paying that much attention to Jersey Girl, but I have alway intended to see it. I am a Kevin Smith fan, I have seen all him movies countless amounts of times. I am a little sick of Ben and Jen, so when I heard they were both in it I was a little upset. I still planned to see it, because it is Kevin Smith. Later I found out Jennifer Lopez will not be in the entire movie and thats strait. I think Ben Afflect and Liv Tyler will be a perfect match for this. After all, they did a great job together in Armeggedon. The movie will be good, that is something you can expect from Kevin Smith.

[color=darkred][SIZE=1]*nods* I completely agree with you Krippled Master. . .on many points. I have been growing very tired of the Ben and Jen matchup. I remember from an interview that Ben told the press that he and Jen would both be in Jersey Girl, but for those who hated Gigli (sp?), they wouldn't be in it like that, and that Jen wouldn't be in for long at all. . that made me very happy.

While I was looking around veiwaskew.com, I noticed that there were comments on the film's trailer. Well, I checked them out. . many were just one liners - "OMG tHis lOOks SOOOOO cooooo!" *shudders* That was stretching it a bit, lol. . but still. . Others were Kevin Smith fanboys who couldn't imagine he would do a *gasp* 'serious' styled movie?! Most people wanted the classic style of movie that Kevin Smith got so good at making. I know I am more then relieved to see the movie looking as good as it is. I will definitely be in line opening day to see the movie. Not just because it is a Kevin Smith movie, and not only because I appreciate what he is trying to do. . but the movie genuinely looks good! [/SIZE][/color]

[color=darkred][SIZE=1]I totally agree with you Krippled Master -- I really enjoyed Chasing Amy. . along with all his other movies. Most people see the corny jokes. . I really enjoyed the level of writing that went into most of the movies. I know that most of the good writing was hidden in a lot of fart jokes or toilet humor, but looking back at all his movies. . the dialog was so intense, that often, I would have to watch it once or twice to actually get what was going on in that particular scene. .

And ya, Ben Affleck was in Chasing Amy. . another reason why I like him. . he is a good actor. . but because of some of the roles he does, and how he plays them, it's too easy not to like him *shrug* Oh well. . That's why I am not 'most people' [/SIZE][/color]

See, I like Kevin Smith's other movies, but I thought that Chasing Amy was a complete disaster- it had potential, but when came right down to it, didn't deliver.

I hope that Kevin Smith has a better grasp on serious scripts with this one, because I'd hate to see another Chasing Amy!

In any case, I'll see it, because I like Kevin Smith and my bf is way into him as well. Hopefully it will be entertaining at the very least.

I think his writing in Chasing Amy was pretty genius. On the level, it was a good story. I liked it, but it was not what I expected, thats probably what happened with you wolfangel. You expected a hardcore kevin smith comedy or just a kevin smith film, you might not of been expecting what you got. I know I wasnt. I watched it over and it was actually pretty good.

[color=indigo][font=century][size=1]I completely refuse to see the new Kevin Smith movie. I haven't even seen the previews, but I won't see it. I will not participate in any activity that gives Mr. Smith money, which is a shame because I really enjoy his work.

However, I'm on a permanant Smith boycott, at least until he finishes the comic book mini-series that he started writing for Marvel Comics almost two years ago, [i]Spider-Man/Black Cat: The EVil That Men Do[/i].

All he had to do was write five issues. That's it. He wrote...three...and never finished. When asked about it at a convention, he replied that it's "just a comic book", and that those complaining should "get a life".

Well, excuse me for expecting you to do the project you were hired to do, Mr. Smith! The only reason Marvel hasn't slapped a breach-of-contract suit on his arse is because Smith=$$.

Can you tell this is a pet-peeve of mine?[/color][/size][/font]
