jDriftyx82 Silent Bob Speaks: And He's Got Some Funny Sh*t to SayKevin Smith has always had a way with words. Even in his dialogue-driven movies, you can tell he understands how people talk. This straight-to-DVD stand-up comedy phenomenon is about nothing. It's just Kevin Smith talking. About what? Nothing. Nothing important, nothing amazing or remarkable or inspiring. Just about whatever. What makes it so great? Well....Kevin Smith's witty charm and ridiculous subjects make this 'film' amazingly watchable and an overall treat to watch and listen.The topics range from religion to homosexuality, to Kevin's films to the weird guys who offer him head.This is a Q&A movie worth watching. No matter how long it is.

brando647 Who would have thought that a man whose entire on-screen movie career consists of less lines than I can count on my fingers would be so entertaining when put on camera for 3 hours? Kevin Smith, famous for his Jersey series and widely known as Silent Bob, takes the podium at colleges around the country and we are treated to stories from his time within the industry, from his involvement in the latest 'Superman' installment to his experiences on set for his own flicks. I can honestly say that, throughout the long running time, not once did I find myself looking at the clock in boredom. As can be seen with such movies as 'Clerks.', 'Dogma', etc., Kevin Smith has a knack for story-telling.Smith is hilarious and has more than enough to talk about. I have been a fan of his movies since I first saw 'Dogma' and this DVD was a perfect addition to my collection. If you've ever wanted to insight into the mind of Smith, this is the movie for it. He shares stories from the set, explains his views on religion and sexuality, and keeps it consistently entertaining (especially the piece about Prince).As an added bonus, Jason Mewes makes an appearance for one of the sessions, and while he doesn't add much to the conversation, it's cool to see the pair of them together. Smith's interactions with the audience, and a couple hilarious phone calls, make the long running time worth it. All serious fans of Kevin Smith must make a point to watch this at least once.

When Smith talks about he originally re-wrote the script for "Superman Reborn" (Which is due for 2006) is one of the highlights of this Q & A. (****/*****).

kolyanbogie Clerks is a very funny movie, if you can overlook the grainy, B&W film stock, but Kevin Smith's movies to date after Clerks have been regrettable, in my opinion. Perhaps it's just a matter of taste: I don't like his movies. I don't even want to watch them to the end. However, I admire someone who launched a career from a cheaply made B&W movie like Clerks.An Evening with Kevin Smith is much more entertaining and worthwhile than his movies. He's a gifted raconteur and immediately establishes an excellent rapport with his audience.
