How do people on here rate Kevin Smith?
I recently started watching "Chasing Amy" again (originally saw it at the cinema when it came out). It is very amusing to see Ben Affleck with a late 90s grunge beard, and there is some sparky dialogue, though the Alyssa character has a very strange voice and I haven't got to the end yet.
I also recently saw "Tusk", which is bizarre but absorbing. It concerns a man who abducts a podcaster and sets about turning him into a walrus. It's weird and quite compelling. I saw the first half hour of "Red State" and that seemed well directed and plotted.
What do you reckon to him? Which films of his have you seen and liked or disliked?
The reason I started watching him recently is that I read some of his autobiography, which interested me when it dealt with his filmmaking and writing.
So - is he a talented director and writer, or a dated 90s has been who finds pooh and weed more funny than they really are?
