Uh oh... Kevin Smith gives his completely qualified approval of the new Watchmen movie.

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/08/watchmen-update.html

Watch out! This is the same guy who defends the new Star Wars trilogy as Lucas' masterpiece.

More scary news:
"Snyder is currently endeavoring to trim a nearly three-hour version of Watchmen (which is believed to be the iteration Smith saw) down to two hours and 25 minutes, the studio’s desired running time, even though Snyder’s preference is that the movie be released as long as possible."

Watchmen in 2.45 hours? My goodness. That's going to be a really dense experience.

Also, regarding the frame story in Watchmen:
"Already, the studio could milk Watchmen for at least three different DVDs: the already-announced The Black Freighter companion disc, an animated film based on the graphic novel’s comic-within-a-comic; the theatrical version of the film"

I don't mind Kevin Smith all that much, either, but I'll wait and see for myself.

I hate studios when they pull this crap. Three hours isn't that much time to cover what's in the graphic novel and 2.45 hours is even worse.

Yea but I assume they will cut most of the stuff that just wouldn't be worth filming. Such as the secondary pirate comic an all the scenes involving that news stand guy. Etc. Still I don't think it'll be that bad however I didn't care much for the comic.

Two words: "Jersey Girl."

I'm really on the fence with Kevin smith. Its a love/hate thing. Clerks, Chasing Amy and Dogma are three excellent films (Chasing Amy is one of my all time favorites) and Jay and Silent Bob strike back was a little bit funny. Everything else he's done is very weak.

No, lol. I got the humor and some of the gags were funny but overall i didn't see what the big deal was. I thought it was too stupid.

Same thing for me, but I would watch it over most other movies that are on tv at the time.

True.
I liked Chasing Amy too. Dogma is my favourite. Clerks is a bit overrated.
 
I've seen Jersey Girl, its not bad. Its not great. Its worth a watch.

If you guys haven't done so...
Check out:

Evening with Kevin Smith
and its sequel of sorts
Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening harder

Your likely to like the guy a hell a lot more if you watch those two.

I've seen all his films but Mall Rats.

Bunch of dweebs in this thread :ganishka:

Yea deff. I got over kevin smith a long time ago. He has like three good movies and...thats it. He's no Spike Jonze or anything (someone we should be talking about more than smith) so let's move on.

Speaking of Spike jonze any news on Where the Wild Things Are ?

The last I read about it, Hollywood wasn't ready for how cool he'd made it.

So this [ http://defamer.com/357717/where-the-wild-things-are-screen-test-captures-smell-of-childhood-in-a-bottle ] is going to turn into this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8FX7-4AsRA
