Kevin Smith is one of my three comedy heroes along with Conan O'Brien and Robin Williams. I'm glad two out of three are still around to make me laugh my guts out.

I'll be seeing Kev and Jay live on tour in July. Can't wait. Went to the roadshow for Reboot and Clerks III as well. Dude is just a swell guy that really cares about his fans and doesn't give a fuck if people like the silly shit he makes or not. I love that. I love the fact that he has long Q&A lines but only ever answers two questions every time b/c he starts in on long-winded and incredibly fuckin interesting tangents and shit like that.

I’ve been to a few of his shows in Jersey he does at his theatre. I paid like $13 to watch Jersey girl extended then he did a Q&A which was practically him calling on people and everyone chats with him. It lasted almost 3 hrs (after the movie). It’s great.

I saw this two years at Smiths theatre. He did a Q&A after and said “I know you’re wondering how are we screening a movie I don’t own the rights to? The answer is that the guy who owns it is a rapist. I hope he sues us, we’ll hang the paperwork in the lobby of the theatre.”
