"Clerks" and "Chasing Amy" have now made it to Blu-ray, but during his review of "The Kevin Smith Collection: Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back," The Dude on the Right is still wondering why there is a documentary about the making of "Jay and Silent Bob" on the "Clerks" disc. Yes, he listened to Kevin Smith explain why, but...
You don't need me to tell you the titles, but I will anyway because people have found great meaning and comfort and, above all else, laughs in MALLRATS, CHASING AMY, DOGMA, JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, CLERKS II (Kevin's favorite of his own films), ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO, and, yes, even JERSEY GIRL. Smith is not just a writer-director and occasional actor (he's played versions of himself or...
You've read all the reviews and interviews , and watched all the spoof videos. Most of you reading this have probably already watched the film, too. Today, as The Twilight Saga: New Moon finally reaches theaters, it sorta feels like the day after Christmas -- all this hype, work and constant coverage building up to the release of just one film ... and then it's over. Now the "real" fans...
Here are three running backs that should have big weeks in fantasy football for week 11: Kevin Smith, Lions : Along with Cincinnati's Cedric Benson and Baltimore's Ray Rice, Detroit's Kevin Smith was one of my Five Running Backs to Target in Fantasy Drafts . While Benson and Rice have exceeded even my expectations, Smith has been a huge disappointment in 2009. This season, Smith has rushed for 515...
Here’s an interesting legal situation . The Vice President of a record company that was backing the tour of some tweener pop star I’ve never heard of was arrested after he refused to send out a Twitter message asking the rioting attendees at a performance to disperse. Police arrested a vice president from Bieber’s record label, Island Def Jam Records, saying he wasn’t cooperating...
Yesterday, tween singing sensation (or so Wikipedia leads us to believe) Justin Bieber was scheduled to make an appearance at the Roosevelt Island Mall on Long Island. Apparently the 15-year-old's fans were really excited to see him, because thousands flocked to the mall, forcing the police to cancel the event. Newsday says that "a crowd of 3,000 young girls and their parents started aggressively...
Okay kids... Week 11 is fast approaching. 2 regular season fantasy weeks to go after this weekend. It's crunch time, so I'm sure many of you (like me) are gripping over which players to plug into those WR2/3, flex, and RB2 spots. Again, if you have a Peyton Manning, Chris Johnson, or other matchup-proof player, then by all means go with that player. Let's take a look at some players who you might want...
Oprah's announcement that her show may end its 25-season run in 2011 was almost enough to unseat "New Moon" as the top trending topic of the Twitter-Wood feed today. Kevin Nealon and Wil Wheaton both had a opinions on her possible bow out of syndication, while Eli Roth and Kevin Smith helped keep "Twilight" alive [...]
I'll leave the obvious recommendations to the network bozos and focus on players on the bubble of most fantasy lineups. Here are my picks to roll, and get rolled, in Week 11. Watch 'em roll Eli Manning, QB, Giants vs. Falcons. Manning faces an Atlanta defense that has given up tons of yards and 29 points per game over the last four weeks. Bernard Scott, RB, Bengals at Raiders. Assuming Cedric Benson...
Detroit RB Kevin Smith has a great matchup in Week 11 against Cleveland, and he's the CBSSports.com. Cleveland is No. 30 in run defense with 166 yards per game allowed and 13 touchdowns. Nine running backs have reached double digits in Fantasy points against the Browns, including their past five opponents in Marshawn Lynch , Rashard Mendenhall , Ryan Grant , Matt Forte and Ray Rice . Surprisingly,...
Kevin Smith just put out a book called Shootin’ the Sh*t with Kevin Smith. It’s a transcript of the best bits from SModcast, the podcast he does with his producer Scott Mosier. SModcast is basically just Smith and Mosier talking about movies and sex and Harry Potter and Helen Keller and whatever else comes up. [...]
Neil Patrick Harris finally got himself a twitter account (he really wasn't on twitter yet'), with which he is predictably charming and adorable, using expressions like "Holy Pete!" (Unreality) Kevin Smith's upcoming buddy cop movie isn't allowed to be called...
You know, I don’t have much particular affection for Kevin Smith or his work–I think his best years were behind him after Mallrats, and I have to wonder if I didn’t like Mallrats because I was roughly the protagonists’ age when it emerged, thus giving me a note of resonance with it. That and my [...]

The ultimate fan, boy. Great Caesar’s Ghost, enough with the complaining, Zippy Fan. Look, I’m not a fan of Peter and Mary Jane not being married any more than you are, but enough already. Jeez. And, yeah, Morrison’s Crisis could have been better, sure, but that was last year’s crossover and I have moved on, you hear me? There’s being a fan, and then there’s YOU...
Plot Summary: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a anecdote of exploi on the ajar lane. When Dante and Randal (of Clerks fame) fall heir to a restraining arrangement to hold the punchy Jay and his hetero life-mate, Silent Bob, from selling drugs in face of the Quick Stop handiness garner, their lives are lock away desolate. They expose advanced aim when their alter ego, Brodie, informs them a movie...
