I'd like it say if I was in Kevin Smiths position I'd handle the whole "will you read my screenplay" shtick as well as he did. I imagine he gets asked that question like 5 times a day, must get very old.
Giving up is actually the best thing to do when your a writer. If your on a hot streak for a little while and your writing something amazing and then you just stop and you can't go any farther, give up and move on. Start new projects and let the old ones incubate for a while. Ideas can be like whine, they have to mature and grow older. Either they'll become a fine cognate or they'll turn to vinegar. That's just the way it is...you can't force yourself to be imaginative or creative.
"just finishing" something is only important if your, you know, trying to get a check so you can eat and pay the light bill. which i respect, but if your writing for yourself you don't have to force yourself to keep going with something if you've literally exhausted yourself creatively at that point. Sometimes it is just better to let ideas sit on the shelf for a while...as long as there written down, you can always come back to them.
i want to be a filmmaker , im 16 and im depressed after seeing kevin smith , the only pure indipendant american filmmaker (tarantino and rodriguez are a different story) saying that he is not going to help a guy with a serious problem that wants to do more in life.
@romas1995 You have to realize that if he said "yes" to reading the midget's draft, everyone else in the audience would be asking him for the same favour.
His reason for not helping the midget was bullshit. If he'd had a good reason, I could give him a pass. But "because I don't like to work?" Yeah, the guy was right to call him out on that.
A good answer would have been: I don't look at other people's work, because I don't want to be accused of stealing the ideas. It's nothing against you personally.
And, if it were me, the fact that the crowd booed would have been enough for me to do it. That was the most insensitive thing. Fuck them.
@eldospinks Did I say he didn't have the right to decline? In fact, I said the opposite. My problem is that he gave a stupid reason that is actually more offensive.
He essentially saying: "I won't do it because I'm selfish." To decline without an excuse would have been better.
(It was still better than to fall for the guy's trap and point out that he was intentionally trying to use sympathy and embarrassment to pressure Kevin into doing it.)
The midget tried to use his disability to shoot off too many questions, ask for script to be read,, i am surprised he didn't ask to fuck his daughter. Smith was too nice, cuz if that was a non-disabled person, he would have been chopped up.
@Digitaaliklosetti lol he doesn't wanna do stand up comedy cause he says it would feel like he cheated didn't have to struggle and its true im a comic in NYC trying to make it and its hard but he should do it cause as long as he makes people laugh comics wouldn't care he had a head start
if you were up there would you really take time out of your day after standing up there telling stories for HOURS to look at some half finished script?
One wierd thing about Ben Affleck is that he really only performs well when he's working with Kevin Smith, I hate him in most movies but with Smith he really shines.
He's good in Good Will Hunting, Changing Lanes and as a director he's very promising (Gone Baby Gone is amazing). I agree with Smith. Essentially Affleck is a talented actor but has made some baaaad choices.
I haven't seen Gone Baby Gone, but I agree that he's really good in Good Will hunting and Changin lanes. But so far I still his greatest works are together with Kevin Smith. I think he needs the righ type of director, otherwise he can't really act for some reason.
Kevin SMith is not a racist man, i think he meant as in terms of, some crazed or angry person who had an agenda against him, u know in that way, i don't think it was mean't to be come across as a racist joke, cause it wasn't, well i guess it could be concieved as being one, but i don't think it was!!!
I'd like it say if I was in Kevin Smiths position I'd handle the whole "will you read my screenplay" shtick as well as he did. I imagine he gets asked that question like 5 times a day, must get very old.
