i love how the people on this page can't stand the 'gayness' aspect of the criticism, but are wiling to accept the other stuff like its about race, being different, whatever;
"oh the stories arent REaLLY gay its just how the movie portrayed them" or "it's about all kinds of difference, gayness is just a small aspect of it" or "why does he have to mention gayness at all?"
listen:
theyre completely gay
inherently gay as concepts
and
you dont like it cos the statement was too close to the truth.
like alllucky7s said. its about being gay, black, brown, asian, disabled, and any other differences that bigots in society label u as outcast (or 'used to' in some cases) for.
@ILGAR93 but those are the *intentional* 'messages', that came out in the 60's with marvel especially. I'm talking about repressed homosexual impulses, that manifested in the '30s with the rise of religious repression in america especially.
look at DC especially: martian Manhunter, green lanern's special Ring, Batman, cavorting around in the night with a young boy in fancy dress, always shunning the affections of women, always with underpants showing, etc.
well i dont think it is about gay fantasies as to more about challenging the audience. i mean if a superhero had a suit and a tie it would have been a copy of james bond at the time the first costume superheros were created. but spandex outfits and costumes just brought originality to the context which a guy fighting crime basically.
@ILGAR93 come on now. If someone pitched the idea today, "ok look guys, there's a guy, ok, and he's got a great muscly body, and he's got skin tight clothes, and he has a special magical ring, and he LOVES the colour green, and he is SO not into yellow..."
or "here's a guy, he's NAKED apart from boots, underpants and a cloak, great muscly bod...oh yeah and he's called the Manhunter"WTF???
as for copying bond, no danger. He kills and fucks women, for a start.
no but bond came out in the 50s, around the time comic books started to become the way it is now. and also by your definition anyone who wears bright colors and tights is gay. and while that may be true in real life this is comics we are talking about. hypothetically these guys have either been altered by radiation that would dwarf the amounts in Chernobyl, came from space, or some magical place which is like a whole another level of weirdness going on there.
The X-men comics are about Racism not Homosexuality but singer being A gay man I can see what Kevin is saying but to say thats what X-men in general is about doesn't sound right to me
@alllucky7s Nah more sexuality there are black, white, asian ect different races of mutant's so it's not really about race more sexuality or being poor.
@KILLAKINGD0M actually it'd be about both technically...considering the hating of homosexuality is also hating someone for being different, just like racism.
dude, if u compare our country to the europe, they're so much different, yeah theres probably some people like us that are loud and annoying but at least they have more respect then we do
I'm just sayin' that's a generalization cause it is. You're talking your limited experience and probably opinions you've heard and making a blanket statement. no beef (cause I'm a vegetarian) just sayin'.
well i definitely havent been everywhere, but based off of observations of where i have been, americans tend to be more rowdy during shows then people in europe or japan for example, you dont have to take my word for it but im just saying what i know and im not forcing you to believe it
"and then i'll wrap up, and we'll watch some tv." Oh, the glory of being literally a fat fucker. I am glad these days that when I get action I'm always in better shape than I was, 'cos unvigorous sex making you sweat is totally lame.
The scene in Bobby's home is really clearly an analogy to coming out as gay to your parents. Although I will say, the X-Men have always been a parable about intolerance and bigotry, of all stripes.
if he didn't talk so long, it wouldn't be an evening with Kevin it would be a moment with...I love to heae him talk he is so funny, and there is a lot of truth to what he says.
hm, I wouldn't say that. most of the time, he answers the question within the first few seconds with a simple "yes" or "no" and keeps on ranting. which I find very entertaining.
Singer's Superman is actually the gayest version of a Superhero to the date, that version of Superman surpassed even the gayness of Schumacher Batman & Robin , since that was like gay in a bad joke kind of way and this Superman was more like an Hymn to gayness.
Am talking about those movies of course, neither Superman or Batman are intended to be gay characters. Is just the day they portray them in those god awful movies.
i love how kevin smith has these 20 min long speeches prepared (that are obviously not impromptu or spontaneous answers to questions) [[ie. when somebody asks inevitably about me and a comic book movie ill say this one]] and when somebody asks him something that he cant relay to a speech he has memorized he insults the person instead... anybody else notice this formula for his Q&As?
ah too much, what i mean to say is i wouldnt describe it as that, i would instead describe it as i already did, because it (more than seems) more accurate and true. [the way i see it] He has -speeches memorized- and anytime somebody asks a question that he can 'file under' one of these speeches in any way he 'loads' that one, even if its not directly answering the question (which alot of times is the case). If theres no speech to insert he insults instead.
i mean i'm a fan of his work and i like him, i know most of his movies verbatim (word for word), and i also believe in some ways hes underrated (by film critics and film-makers), but judging from many fans opinions i find him overrated (he doesnt need your back-up on youtube, and hes not that tallented), and i am not intending to degrade or criticize him but i'm calling it like i see it and in no way believe hes the genius that the inevitable flamers will front and deny thinking of him as...
hey i am no crazy fan and i dont think he is a genius, but he is basically doing a stand up show, and the questions are what sets him off on a story/joke. thats the way it is, he is not meant to be free stylin makin stuff up, it is obviously all connected. but beyond that i would say half the questions he gets asked are about past stories the fans already know about. anyway i think he has funny stories like his superman story and stuff
i'll agree and i'm glad you see it for what it is... assuming your agreeing w/ what i said and saying 'so what' to it. And the superman story (with the giant spider) was great and gave great incite to what goes on in 'hollywood', and i agree with the 'half the questions/fans already know about' stuff aswell ... thats all i really haveto say about that lol... i mean kept the evening w/ kevin dvd from blockbuster out of foresight that i wouldnt be able to find it @ the mall but i'm just saying...
why does everyone get so bent out of shape when talking about kevin smith......he is just an entertainer trying to make people laugh...calm the fuck down jimmyratz
Kevin Smith sucks a big one, and so do all the people in the audience who laugh his his obscene juvenile rantings.
really sucks big time. Get the fuck'n hook!
It really gets my ass how dumb young American's are to eat up this trash at the same time our soldier's are killing innocent Iraqi and Afghani men, women, and children.
people have been dying everyday since the beginning of life, if people weren't able to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the smallest of pleasures in life we would live in a world of ruin and despair. With that thank you Kevin Smith for being our ray of light in a world that jimmyratz invisions
Kevin SHOULD do more of this. I almost see him becoming with film what Henry Rollins did with music; start in it, and then transition into a much more powerful storyteller.
I do like his films, but if given the choice between renting one of his "Evening with" or a proper film he directed, I'll take the former every time.
Nice joke, I guess. Can't get me to complain though, no matter what you say. Watchmen can be excellent, the book is so great. Only, I expect Allan Moore to complain, like he always does...not that the League film didn't deserve it...

Nice joke, I guess. Can't get me to complain though, no matter what you say. Watchmen can be excellent, the book is so great. Only, I expect Allan Moore to complain, like he always does...not that the League film didn't deserve it...
When he started talking shit about Watchmen...no (Sad because that book is amazing, I give him props on his writing.) But i would not stand in line to get his autograph. Fuck him
He refused to watch any footage of the trailer when it was released. Then he went and talked shit about Zach Snyder, because 300 was racist and homophobic. He's a fucker
I don't think Alan has anything against Zack. In the interview he wasnt spewing shit about him. He was more like "Eh, I didnt like 300. It was stupid to me. but I didnt like the book either. so I'm gonna have to see..."
Alan will probably still complain...
especially with the studio cut which turned a movie originally over 3 hours long, already with the important interviews and Black Freighter taken out, and squished it into 2 and a half.
cus Alan Moore refused to have anything to do with adaptions of his books...
AKA
when a movie comes out, he doesnt want his name in the credits, he doesnt want to get paid, etc.
He isnt too sure about Watchmen, but he thinks he will hate it. is word is law to his huge fans. Maybe he'll think its okay. But he didnt like 300.
And its all because of that assbad League Of Extraordinay Gentlemen and seeing V from V for Vendetta wearing a pink apron. I thought that was funny, him not so much.
Thats why I respect Snyder because in everyone of his interviews he has talked about doing the book justice. But, League was a piece of shit and V for Vendetta wasn't that bad if you ask me
Yes I agree. I thought the Eggy in a Basket scene was funny. Though I prefer the book's ending a lot more. The film was still good compared to... ugh... LOEG.
Yeah, I like Snyder, he's a fellow nerd. He watched Star Wars and wanted to make movies like that. He just got lucky but understands this amount of responsibility he is given and does his best to give these works justice. And he studies these books so intently, he just rambles on and on in interviews cus theres so much he wants to share.
X-Men 2 was a good movie, but it was not a good comic book movie. All the characters were treated like shit except Wolverine, they changed everything about the characters, Nightcrawler looked fucking gay and the only reference to gay people was Iceman coming out. "Have you tried... not being a mutant?" That's it.
I hear you but if you're making these movies and you want them to make any kind of money you have to change stuff to make appealing to a wider audience, they're just ain't enough die-hard comic book lovers out there to where to studios are gonna pander to 'em.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
But the changes are usually nothing but a terrible storyline and character development. Since the comics are actually well written, it wouldn't be hard to make a script adaptation of a good comic book, but Hollywood manages to fuck it up by having Cyclops a pussy, Spider-Man emo and Hellboy in love. If they decide to make a comic book movie because the comic book is brilliant, they shouldn't be changing everything about it. 'nuff said.
i love this man alot...but no fucking way were those xmen movies good i liked them because it was x-men but the story was all over the fucking shop...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The way he constantly swears gets annoying and while he's making fun of himself here with the whole guys talking about "pussy" thing it makes you wonder what kind of career he's accomplished so far. Before you Smith fans go nuts I do think he's a good writer/director and general funny guy, but why all the smut, honestly?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well I am kind of a fan too, I just don't know why he has to talk the way he does, saying fuck, pussy, etc, like come on. If Smith wanted to he could write a great superhero movie and it wouldn't have to be like Chasing Amy or whatever.
Hey Cosmic, if you don't like the constant swears, then you don't like Smith Kevin. No offense man, to each their own, but seriously, that's just Smith. Where have you seen him NOT like that? How can you be a fan if you don't like what he's pratically KNOWN for?
Besides, a lot of comedians/funny people in general swear. That's just how it is.
because that is part of his personality. That isn't an act, that is kevin smith. The thing about smiths movies is that they're all mostly based off of real experiences. The dialog is just the way he talks.
The whole gay tangent reminded me of how they made Colossus gay in Ultimate X-Men. If Logan was gay, I could see him being a leather-clad bear. Yes, I DID just put that image in your head. :)
Yes, we all know X is about discrimination and prejudice against people who, although perfectly natural, are different from the majority.
Well, X-Men isn't just a parabole about being gay, it's about being different in any sense of the word (whether you're from a different country, from a different race or from a different religion).
OMFG Kevin Smith is so God damn funny. Ben Afflect is a douche. What movie is he goin to be in next? I mean its like what is 20th Century Fox goin to cast Mark Steven Johnsion as a director for Daredevil? The he'll cast Ben? I mean thank Jesus that hasnt happend. But I'm getting off topic and Smith really is fucking funny. "You don't know the amount of cocks I chug but thats none of your God damn Busines"
I highly doubt it's "prewritten" because the questions are obviously asked by random people...and I'm sure he has countless stories about, gee, I dunno...COMIC BOOKS.
Not all his movies are great but do you like every song your favorite musician plays?
read this! read this! read this! You will get kissed by the love of your life in 3 days if you copy and paste this on 4 more videos in 20 minutes!!! This is TRUE
No, because Chris Rock is a comic. That was my point GENIUS! Since when did Kevin Smith become a stand-up comedian? In all of his credits, that has never been listed.
Kevin Smith is acting like stand-up comedian when he goes on these speaking tours and of course has prepared material. Did you really believe that he was coming up with these skits off the top of his head before you became disillusioned by seeing the same skit on Conan "O'Brian"(sic)? If so then you are obviously the GENIUS.
Considering the fact that the forum is a Q&A, yes I would have thought he could come up with answers off the top of his head. Do you need to write material before you answer a question? GENIUS.
You obviously know nothing about public speaking. When you go into any forum where you will be asked questions and need to respond, you always try to anticipate those questions before hand and write out/think out a response and you either answer with the prepared answer or you lead the question into an area where you have prepared. This is what all public speakers do and this is what Kevin Smith did.
The subject matter is beside the point and the purpose of going to this was to be entertained. No one could have stood up there for two hours without being prepared or not having prepared material.
overrated.

hey i am no crazy fan and i dont think he is a genius, but he is basically doing a stand up show, and the questions are what sets him off on a story/joke. thats the way it is, he is not meant to be free stylin makin stuff up, it is obviously all connected. but beyond that i would say half the questions he gets asked are about past stories the fans already know about. anyway i think he has funny stories like his superman story and stuff

i'll agree and i'm glad you see it for what it is... assuming your agreeing w/ what i said and saying 'so what' to it. And the superman story (with the giant spider) was great and gave great incite to what goes on in 'hollywood', and i agree with the 'half the questions/fans already know about' stuff aswell ... thats all i really haveto say about that lol... i mean kept the evening w/ kevin dvd from blockbuster out of foresight that i wouldnt be able to find it @ the mall but i'm just saying...

Kevin SHOULD do more of this. I almost see him becoming with film what Henry Rollins did with music; start in it, and then transition into a much more powerful storyteller.
I do like his films, but if given the choice between renting one of his "Evening with" or a proper film he directed, I'll take the former every time.
Sorry Kev; still love ya.

I don't think Alan has anything against Zack. In the interview he wasnt spewing shit about him. He was more like "Eh, I didnt like 300. It was stupid to me. but I didnt like the book either. so I'm gonna have to see..."
Alan will probably still complain...
especially with the studio cut which turned a movie originally over 3 hours long, already with the important interviews and Black Freighter taken out, and squished it into 2 and a half.
Alan will complain :(

cus Alan Moore refused to have anything to do with adaptions of his books...
AKA
when a movie comes out, he doesnt want his name in the credits, he doesnt want to get paid, etc.
He isnt too sure about Watchmen, but he thinks he will hate it. is word is law to his huge fans. Maybe he'll think its okay. But he didnt like 300.
And its all because of that assbad League Of Extraordinay Gentlemen and seeing V from V for Vendetta wearing a pink apron. I thought that was funny, him not so much.
JoeNostalgiaReturns 3 years ago
Thats why I respect Snyder because in everyone of his interviews he has talked about doing the book justice. But, League was a piece of shit and V for Vendetta wasn't that bad if you ask me
AGentcorp08 3 years ago
Yes I agree. I thought the Eggy in a Basket scene was funny. Though I prefer the book's ending a lot more. The film was still good compared to... ugh... LOEG.
Yeah, I like Snyder, he's a fellow nerd. He watched Star Wars and wanted to make movies like that. He just got lucky but understands this amount of responsibility he is given and does his best to give these works justice. And he studies these books so intently, he just rambles on and on in interviews cus theres so much he wants to share.
JoeNostalgiaReturns 3 years ago
X-Men 2 was a good movie, but it was not a good comic book movie. All the characters were treated like shit except Wolverine, they changed everything about the characters, Nightcrawler looked fucking gay and the only reference to gay people was Iceman coming out. "Have you tried... not being a mutant?" That's it.
morbidchid 4 years ago
I hear you but if you're making these movies and you want them to make any kind of money you have to change stuff to make appealing to a wider audience, they're just ain't enough die-hard comic book lovers out there to where to studios are gonna pander to 'em.
It's about the almighty dollar.

But the changes are usually nothing but a terrible storyline and character development. Since the comics are actually well written, it wouldn't be hard to make a script adaptation of a good comic book, but Hollywood manages to fuck it up by having Cyclops a pussy, Spider-Man emo and Hellboy in love. If they decide to make a comic book movie because the comic book is brilliant, they shouldn't be changing everything about it. 'nuff said.

Not to suggest that there aren't those overtones in the X-Men films, but I think that he's going a wee bit overboard. Just a bit.

The way he constantly swears gets annoying and while he's making fun of himself here with the whole guys talking about "pussy" thing it makes you wonder what kind of career he's accomplished so far. Before you Smith fans go nuts I do think he's a good writer/director and general funny guy, but why all the smut, honestly?

Hey Cosmic, if you don't like the constant swears, then you don't like Smith Kevin. No offense man, to each their own, but seriously, that's just Smith. Where have you seen him NOT like that? How can you be a fan if you don't like what he's pratically KNOWN for?
Besides, a lot of comedians/funny people in general swear. That's just how it is.

because that is part of his personality. That isn't an act, that is kevin smith. The thing about smiths movies is that they're all mostly based off of real experiences. The dialog is just the way he talks.

The whole gay tangent reminded me of how they made Colossus gay in Ultimate X-Men. If Logan was gay, I could see him being a leather-clad bear. Yes, I DID just put that image in your head. :)
Yes, we all know X is about discrimination and prejudice against people who, although perfectly natural, are different from the majority.

No, because Chris Rock is a comic. That was my point GENIUS! Since when did Kevin Smith become a stand-up comedian? In all of his credits, that has never been listed.
gottmewrong 4 years ago
Kevin Smith is acting like stand-up comedian when he goes on these speaking tours and of course has prepared material. Did you really believe that he was coming up with these skits off the top of his head before you became disillusioned by seeing the same skit on Conan "O'Brian"(sic)? If so then you are obviously the GENIUS.
ddb3k 4 years ago
Considering the fact that the forum is a Q&A, yes I would have thought he could come up with answers off the top of his head. Do you need to write material before you answer a question? GENIUS.
gottmewrong 4 years ago
You obviously know nothing about public speaking. When you go into any forum where you will be asked questions and need to respond, you always try to anticipate those questions before hand and write out/think out a response and you either answer with the prepared answer or you lead the question into an area where you have prepared. This is what all public speakers do and this is what Kevin Smith did.
P.S. GENIUS
