Even if it's a disaster, I'm super excited for this.

[Abraham Smashington]

I want this to be good, but after the horrible Zach and Miri, I'm hesitant. REALLY HESITANT.

About the only thing I can take from Smith at this juncture, after all the bullshit he's pulled in the last two years, is his Hollywood Babble-On podcast. 100% pop-culture news of the week and about an hour in length.

Everything else I've washed my hands of him.

Sir, thank you. I have been enjoying Babble-On since he started it, but I'm a big fan of Ralph so I listen more for him than Smith.

Yeah, and the "allure" of a Kevin Smith podcast is gone. I mean how many does he fucking do on a regular basis now?

All he does is sit down, talk shit about everyone and then whine if/when someone "has the nerve" to call him out.

[Timothy225]

He's done after this flick and some hockey flick he's doing, right? Just going into producing or something?

Man, I really don't know what happened to him. Ever since Jersey Girl handed him his first clinker, he's never recovered.

[FilmNerdJamie]

So he says...

He also swore he was growing up after Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and no more of those flicks. God forbid he actually tried Green Hornet with the Weinsteins' help.

[Chris Miller]

It's disappointing. I always loved his Evening Withs, and his blogs, and saw everything up until Cop Out. I'm starting to wish he would have been as good as I thought he was, or wished he would be.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Worst thing to ever happen to him were those "Evening of..." DVDs in retrospect. He was openly talking about shit in front of fanboys/frat-boys that was common knowledge in Hollywood for years, but nobody was stupid enough to speak of in front of mic. And he making a lot of money off it to boot.

I guarantee you any interest studios had in him over the years disappeared when they saw he was telling all of Mom & Dad's business.

[Abraham Smashington]

The Jon Peters stuff and Prince stuff is the best shit he's ever told.

[Timothy225]

Agreed - man, the Superman story was beyond fucked up. I see Jamie's point - Smith really kind of slit his own throat with those, no matter how funny they are.

[Chris Miller]

Hooly shit the Prince story.

"Oh, Chaka's mad?"
"Chaka real mad..."

[FilmNerdJamie]

Agreed - man, the Superman story was beyond fucked up.

Agreed, and cements how WB doesn't know what to do with the character/property. Hence them begging Nolan to help them make the reboot and letting him as the producer make all the decisions.

[Timothy225]

Peters isn't still attached to the franchise, is he?
