Kevin Smith's Red State

[FilmNerdJamie]

Peters' deal basically involves his production company getting a credit and he gets a big fat paycheck in the mail. For doing absolutely nothing.

That's what happened on Bryan Singer's film. Probably the same for this reboot.

[Chris Miller]

Still want to see the giant spider.

[Abraham Smashington]

I want to see Superman punch a polar bear in the face.

[Abraham Smashington]

And the polar bear is played by Jason Mewes.

Gotcha - I only ask because Peters was the main target of Smith's rant when he was talking about the Superman Lives flick he was proposing (no suit, no flying, and a space dog).

[Abraham Smashington]

*puts on hazmat suit*

I dug his script for it. But I have no ties to Superman at all.

[Chris Miller]

No flack from me, I love Smith's dialogue on the page, the only issue is the 70% failure rate from page to screen. This was particularly tough before he started hiring actors outside of his circle of buddies. Jason Lee and Seth Rogen did pretty well with it.

Smith just needs to write for people and keep doing Evening With... tours. Or actually go back to film school and learn some more directing tips. Or listen to more DVD commentaries as far as that goes. Or hang out with Prince more and record music in his bathroom studio.

That's the one.

Any of those works but yeah Prince takes the cake.

Listening to this past week's Smith-absent Hollywood Babble-On.

Garman can totally just do the show himself from now on if he wants or just rotate guest-hosts for him to bounce off of.

[Ed Hocken]

Garman has been doing the movie news segment for a local radio morning show for years. He's usually quite good on it.

[FilmNerdJamie]

I'd totally listen to his local stuff. Very funny and likable as Hell.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Sounds like the "Red State Tour" isn't doing that awesome if Smith's having to do this to cover distribution costs.
