My memories of high school years were filled geeky stuff, movies, and the morning KROQ radio show with Kevin & Bean, those dudes are so awesome and hilarious, they should just do an all day 24 hour show.
What do you wanna be when you grow up? like Tony Stark? like Bruce Wayne? like Hugh Heffner?
If you’re movie buff like me, the thought of growing up to be just like writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks) would probably in consideration.
The thing is.. being Kevin Smith means being able to get to watch movies that are going to open a year later. How rad is that! Lucky bastard!
It’s been known that the creator of Jay and Silent Bob has seen Zack Snyder’s WATCHMEN and Silent Bob.. I mean, Kevin Smith loved it!
Yesterday on Kevin & Bean show, they tried to get Kevin Smith to talk about the other new movie he just watched recently but he tried to not talk about it cause he doesn’t wanna get into trouble for spoiling anything.
Via Trekmovie.com… here’s what happened..
Host: So thumbs up on The Watchmen, what else you got?
Smith: I saw a movie last night that I cannot talk about.
Host: Was it good?
Smith: It was phenomenal.
Host: Any stars, any break out stars, and do they trek?
Smith: The stars absolutely trek in this film. It is fantastic. Anybody who was worried doesn’t need to be worried–about this film I cannot talk about…It was in very capable hands. The director did a phenomenal job–the director and his crew. Top notch cast and the guy that plays the lead is an instant star. That dude is going to be so famous. He is so wonderful. He picked up a role that I would say is pretty challenging for someone to step into the shoes of, because it is a role that has been played before many times by the same guy.
Host: How do you out Shatner, Shatner?
Smith: I don’t know what you are talking about.
Host: I was just saying that as an expression.
Smith: Yes, absolutely, in a world of expressions, I would agree with that…I am so not good with this game, you are going to bury me man.
Host: We had you on before The Dark Knight and I remember asking you if you could direct a movie like Dark Knight and you said ‘hell no’ it was so far out of your sphere…but I bring that up to preface this. Let’s say a franchise like Star Trek, not that you have seen the movie or we are talking about the movie, but we are talking about it for example. That is something that is so dangerous to attempt. Is that the kind of project you would like to do? Would you like to be the guy who gets to do a movie like that?
Smith: I would not like to be the guy. In the case of something like Star Trek, it would take a really insanely talented filmmaker–storyteller. Like in the case of Star Trek, JJ Abrams. So leave it to the people who are best equipped for it. I am just the guy who should be watching those movies.
Kevin Smith may not be the guy to make a big budget movie like STAR TREK.
But I think he should make another Jay and Silent Bob movie where this time those two iconic dudes get to go to space.
And they encounter everything Star Trek related stuff (it can’t be exactly the same cause Paramount would have a fit).
Kinda like Galaxy Quest but with weed and F-bombs and sex jokes every other minute.
And Jay and Silent Bob save the universe.
Hell, I’d watch that!
