How does anyone go from near-death heart attack to fine in a matter of hours? Let's have a serious chat - obit chances re the places who're likely to report it and the pools that count obits. I'm wondering about his DDP chances if he died next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted February 26, 2018 Why do people always use "massive" to describe their heart attacks? You never see "bigun" or "gigantic" or "substantial". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR976evil 906 Posted February 26, 2018 I remember when Clerks came out, it was an exciting period for US indie cinema. From that era, can only think of Tarantino and Linklater who still make relevant movies, Smith burned out relatively quickly 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Hatter2 85 Posted February 26, 2018 He burned out because of his drug addiction. If Kevin Smith doesn't lose any weight then I doubt he'll live to 50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s just an excuse. Peckinpah, among many others, churned out many great efforts when he was fucked off his face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From that era, can only think of Tarantino and Linklater who still make relevant movies, Smith burned out relatively quickly I'd add Bryan Singer (at least until a few months ago) and Paul Thomas Anderson to the "still relevant" group, and you could make a case for John Dahl who's at least built a successful career as a TV director on shows like Dexter and Justified, but yeah, it's been disappointing how that generation of directors has overall turned out to be less prolific and less successful than most of us hoped for back when they were turning out indie classics like The Usual Suspects and The Last Seduction. The quality of Kevin Smith's movies seemed to be inversely proportional to his budgets - i.e., the more money he was given to work with, the worse his movies got.

Oh yeah didn’t think of the great PT Anderson. I was thinking more of the auteurs of the early 90s like Hal Hartley, Alison Anders, Rodriguez etc who have mainly disappeared or faded into irrelevance. At least with Dogma Smith was still attempting something bold, but with every movie thereafter he just descended further into self-indulgence, like he wanted to dodge anything daring or contentious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
