I love Kevin Smith's work, often i mention one of his films and people look blankly at me. So when i try to explain to them his work, this is the video to which i redirect them, The Flying Car was made specially for The Tonight Show and it's a short example of the kind of stuff you should expect from any of his films.
And which are his films you might ask?
Well here's the list:
Clerks
His first movie, shot in black & white, with a very small budget, this was truly a work of love as Kevin Smith sold his comic book collection to raise money for the production. I'd also have to say that it's my favourite.
Favourite Line: Dante: I'm not even supposed to be here today!
Mallrats
His second movie, there was a lot more money involved in this one, you can tell by the casting and the sets. In this movie we begin to see an emerging pattern in the "series", Jay & Silent Bob and Jersey are the main features on the 6 movies.
Favourite line: Stan Lee: You know, I think you ought to get him some help. He seems to be really hung up on super heroes' sex organs.
Chasing Amy
I always liked to think of Chasing Amy as the deep one, but with Clerks 2 that changed, it's also my least favourite of the collection, but it's a great look into people's relationships nonetheless, one other recurring theme in these movies is the "Buddy" thing, you'll get it by this time.
Favourite Line: Silent Bob: So I've spent every day since then chasing Amy...
Dogma
Dogma is the one that most escapes the format, as it's not all set in New Jersey. It's my second favourite and it's all about religion.
Favourite Line: Metatron: Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears right about now.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
This was supposed to be the last of the five movies on Jay and Silent Bob. Thank the gods for Jersey Girl, that's all i say.
Clerks II
I saw this one recently and wow! It's the first one and more!
How this post ended up being so long, i'll never know, now stop reading this and go watch a movie.
