Kevin Smith talks about Battlestar Galactica

[ghullieman]

How do u hate firefly the show is beast

[twiztidsnooky]

@ghullieman Firefly is not beast. It is, in fact, the worst sci-fi show in the history of the genre. I don't understand how anyone could like it unless they know nothing about how science fiction is supposed to work. They get all the science so so very wrong in that show it's unbelievable.

[sydandtaytum]

@twiztidsnooky what a dumb thing to say. sci fi is fantasy, not science. joss whedon's shows work with what people really care about- which is the relationships between characters. it just happens to be set in outer space, in the future.

[Username93611]

I wonder what Kevin Smith's deal is with Firefly. I'm guessing it's probably that he has some beef with Whedon. Smith has problems with lots of people for what seem like insignificant reasons.

[djeboe]

How can 4 people dislike this? 4 people have no sense of awesomeness...

[titansupes]

I hate Kevin Smiths movies...but love his interviews/lectures (whatever these things are). But this is the first one I've seen where I've thought 'Whoah, ease up on the language there, big fella.'

Am I getting old?

[300daysandnights]

@titansupes yes. Clerks 2 is very funny. you are out of touch. but who the fuck am i one to talk? I liked beerfest too, so I may not be the best judge of what is funny. then again, it's all opinion.

[xPLDxPunisher]

@titansupes Yes. This is average for him. And his movies are hilarious watch Dogma and try not to think it's genius.

[HagSIN]

It should be an international law that Kevin Smith is NOT allowed to work on ANY other project until he sees Firefly in it's entirety.

[pyrogyra72]

@HagSIN Get the popcorn Kevin.

[2manynegativewaves]

Nerd heaven....nah,that was last night in Law and Order UK, Apollo as the cop,Avon from Blakes 7 as the judge, Dr Who as the Lawyer and a Dr Who assistent as the junior lawyer, real sci fi head mash time :)

[mindyourowndamnself]

BSG was horrible!!! Plot holes out the ass and everyone is a fucking Cylon!! Boooooo

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@mindyourowndamnself BOO to You.

Go suck on Whedon's dick

[mindyourowndamnself]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos You can't suck on something that isn't there...BTW Whedon is the grandmaster douche of all the douchebags.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@mindyourowndamnself This is true and I'm glad you agree on Joss.

The dude is a grown-up child who loves pissing off his fans by killing off their favorite characters, etc. etc.

[endauthority]

firefly sucks

[fresh3456]

I think Firefly is still better than BSG....

[RoyalGuard503]

@fresh3456 I remember watching Firefly... back when it was called Outlaw Star, and aired on Cartoon Network.

Then JW took the entire concept, made them steampunk cowboys, live actioned it, and called it an original series.

[fresh3456]

@RoyalGuard503 Too bad no one gives a shit about Outlaw Star. And Firefly has legions of dedicated followers LOL!!

[RoyalGuard503]

@fresh3456 Except they do.

And it's a shame that plagiarism and uninspired knock-offs get such a cult following. Goes to show how you can put out anything and get a loyal following just by having ONE hit show.

[fresh3456]

@RoyalGuard503 Buffy the Vampire Slayer wants a word with you. How do you know Joss has even heard of Outlaw Star? The anime genre has shows about everything from ninjas to baking bread

[RoyalGuard503]

@fresh3456 Buffy and Angel were his one true hits. Firefly and Dollhouse were boring, overrated bits of anime inspired melodrama that was greatly inferior to his other works.

But, quicker than you can say "cancelled", his shows get a massive cult following simply for having his name on them.

[fresh3456]

@RoyalGuard503 You have no proof Joss has ever heard of Outlaw Star. So you can't call Firefly inspired by anything

[fresh3456]

Firefly and BSG are both great...everyone needs to watch them

[nowra100]

Am I missing something or is Kevin Smith just not funny? The first Clerks was alright, but all his other movies are bullshit.

[Decklocation]

@nowra100 You're missing everything.

[HagSIN]

Love Battlestar but, lately, I've gotten really tired of Kevin's tired old act.

[TheVollertron]

anyone notice how all of kevin smiths fans speaking at the mic look the same lol

[kurumais]

why wouldnt a geek fanboy like kevin watch firefly?

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@kurumais I'm a geek and don't care for Firefly anymore.



[kurumais]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos but did you watch it?

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@kurumais Yes, I did but it doesn't hold up on repeat viewings unlike so many good shows like Star Trek: TNG, BSG or 24.

There's only about four episodes that I like of that show and I really only respect it since it got Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin & Nathan Fillon on the map.

[kurumais]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos well my point is joss whedon comes out with a brand new space show the first thing he does after the buffyverse why wouldnt he check it out? im not saying he or you have to like it just that it was must see for fans like us at least untiil you decide whether you like it

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@kurumais This is true that we have so many people judging a book by it's cover and it was the only real thing that I found entertaining by Joss Whedon but it was basically a live-action version of Cowboy Bebop with more humor

[MrLabcat]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos

If you don't like JW then your opinion is null

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@MrLabcat More like fact . . .

[MrLabcat]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos

Your facts are made fiction if you don't like Whedon.

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@MrLabcat You nerds should join Fox News since you continually mistake opinions for facts.

DROP IT ALREADY & MOVE OUT OF YOUR PARENT'S BASEMENT! DEATH TO ALL NERDS!

[MrLabcat]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos

Haha sure, I'm the "nerd".  You watch Cowboy Bebop, which is an anime if I'm not mistaken. You are the worst kind of nerd. :)

[WatchMyAwesomeVideos]

@MrLabcat I'm actually a geek and I've only seen a few episodes. In fact, that's one of very few animes that I've actually watched (Not a big fan overall but I'm sure the anime community outnumbers the Whedon clan given it's "originality").

The fact that you're being unproductive with your life & wasting time posting shitty comments that no one reads is a hoot though

[MrLabcat]

@WatchMyAwesomeVideos

Nerd, geek, who cares?

Yeah the anime community probably does outnumber the Whedon clan, there sure as hell are a lot of lame Linkin Park music videos synced up to anime. That doesn't make it good.

The fact that you took two weeks to come up with a response is a testament to your idiocy. And obviously YOU read my comment so I was successful in my trolling. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[countblah31]

You know Kevin hates the "Re imaged" version of Battlestar Galactica...I mean he really can't talk shit about it because they have a viper named after him. 

[anchrous]

@countblah31 According to his blog, he 'worships' it and calls the writers 'geniuses'.

[NassimHarameinVedas]

Too bad for those like me who refuse to watch TV, sorry that rhymed but it wasn't by design.

Indeed, that star of mine that longs for worlds gone by has never witnessed Battlestar Galactica.

[maj1kninja07]

the hilarious thing i always think of is on all these space ships even though they dont show it, is someone is jerking off some were on it.

[SilasY2K]

Someone needs to send Kevin the firefly series!

[lilywhitedmb]

I'm so so so so jealous of Kevin Smith right now. And you would think it would be because he's all successful and stuff, but no. It's because he got to tour the BSG set. Holy crap, so awesome.

[benhasic]

I totally come back to this video a year later and see my comment is the highest rated. Hilarious. I still stand by it, I will by Kevin Smith Firefly AND Serenity. On a side note, saw Summer Glau two days ago =D

[BakupAlarmIsPow3rcal]

Battlestar Galactica gobbles more balls than liberachi

[tredwest]

Canadian women are the hottest.

[maluse227]

@tredwest god bless the queen and all of our beavers you could not be more right

[curtdammit]

go ahead touch it

[umbrella05]

They need to bring back firefly . they never really had Shepherd Book's back story

[fresh3456]

@umbrella05 They did a comic book that tells Shepard Book's backstory

[ThePliskin86]

@fresh3456 whats the comic called man thats one of the things that galled me about the firefly cancellation never got to see what the deal with shepard is

[fresh3456]

@ThePliskin86 It's called "The Shepherd's Tale" and is available in a hardcover trade, it's great

[ELIAXTRO]

CPT. KEVIN SMITH

"SILENT"

[NeilHolmes72]

The episode of Reaper he directed was fantastic - so much better than the rest of the show.

[XBFNoodles]

Guess it depends who you are. I have plenty of good memories from his movies. Why are you even here? If I don't like something, I stay away. I don't go talk shit to all the tweens on the Twilight videos cause it's a waste of time. You're a troll. Go jerk off under a bridge like a real troll.

[bated321]

You got me. Successful troll is successful

[XBFNoodles]

Unfortunately, you're right. I empowered you. Next time, I'll be sure to ignore.

[GnosticAtheist]

Ok... Your comment leaves many unanswered questions.

1) How do you know real trolls mastrubate under bridges, and why do they do that?

2) How do you know real trolls exists?

3) Why are you so certain the commenter is not a mythical being?

4) Twilight is a movie I will never see due to a rare genetic disorder called cognition. This is not really a question.

[ShogunBang]

Clerks

[griffincomics]

Yeah, if Kevin Smith tells you to do a close up of ANYTHING...you fuckin' do it!

[ManThatSeesMovies]

@griffincomics i don't do it.

[griffincomics]

@ManThatSeesMovies except for this guy, of course.

[Serenity113]

Someone NEEDS to send Kevin Smith the boxset of Firefly and the Serenity movie. PRONTO!

[raizumichin]

Like a geek like him wouldn't know about firefly? He's probably loving it too.

[hcvang]

get to work, then

[DigitalEchoFox]

cor he swears a lot doesn't he?

Anyway great story (wish it was me!)

[NuclearMisfit]

They featured said photograph on tonights episode.

[NuclearMisfit]

Id love to see the picture hes talking about.

[mithrandir1988]

This was really interesting!

It's always great to find out that people from TV and Film are also fans of other shows from TV and Film.

[benhasic]

I can't believe that Kevin Smith hasn't seen Firefly. If I ever meet him, which I fucking wish i do, I'm BUYING him the boxset.

[robzombay72]

@benhasic Wow cool thats awesome.....

[cdestey]

It's from a Threevening with Kevin Smith.

[Elcristoph]

what was the name of this collage Q&A?, Im guessing its part of a dvd

[Siditego]

yeah this is a threevening, there is also an evening harder, and an evening with kevin smith all great dvds
