    Or when Joey sold the fake drugs to that chick who then ran around pretending to be high? "Degrassi Grass". Heh, classic. Yick Yew the disorganized. So many good times, and so many well-deserved naps in "social studies" class when they would show us a repeat of last-nights episode.

    No wonder Smith is a fan. The stuff was lightyears ahead of anything he's ever done, and was produced on a budget that made Clerks look like a Hollywood blockbuster.

  24. Why I Love Kevin Smith... movies, MOVIES! by BRock97 · · Score: 2, Funny

    As a Kevin Smith fan, perhaps you could explain why you are a Kevin Smith fan in the first place?

    Kevin Smith, to me at least, is your everyperson, a guy who you could have had a beer with and talk about your favorite flicks or comics or other stuff that I was interested in while growing up. He is the example of someone who likes movies to the point that he made his own, even at quite the cost (in the case of Clerks, a temp enrollment in film school and humongo credit card debt). So, in this respect, you could say I have huge admiration for the man.

    Plus, as many Smith fans will agree, the man knows how to write dialog. A perfect example of this is in Clerks. While the whole presentation was "sophomoric" to a certain extent, his whole dialog on the contract works for the second Death Star was a great hoot (specially now that I am a government contractor, ironically enough). He talked about the lameness of crap jobs and Star Wars in Clerks. He discussed comic books and mallratting in Mallrats. I could go on, but I won't. His dialog that helped to get his point across was easy to relate to. So what if everyone talked in monologue, it was the point that mattered. I would go so far as to say he was one of many voices for the teens growing up in the 90's.

    Now, I am not without criticism. Mallrats wasn't his best work, although it was very funny. Also, I felt the sh!t demon in Dogma did nothing for the movie. Jersey Girl was good but just a bit too derivative. For these reasons, those three movies aren't near the top of the list, which would go: Chasing Amy, Clerks, J&SBSB, Dogma, Mallrats, and Jersey Girl. I enjoyed all of them, but some a great deal more than others. JG shouldn't be included in the list, as it is a COMPLETELY different movie, but in the rankings of Mr. Smith's work, those the picks.
