Clerks was awsome!

Hmmm... guess Kevin Smith has run out of ideas.

Not so Sandman. He's signed up to write and direct "The Green Hornet". Aaaah, Kato and Silent Bob.

You're making my point for me.

Dunno about that. Tim Burton did a great job with Batman. I expect Kevin to really sink his teeth into GH since he is such a comic afficianado.

Yeah, but when Tim Burton did it, Hollywood had yet to discover what a cash cow comics were.

Superman I and II did pretty damn well in theaters.

True, but they were both released about ten years earlier.

I'd have to do a search, but IIRC, there weren't any successful comic book movies in between. Since Batman, there have been quite a few that have grossed over $100 million.

im just dense i guess...

what in the world is your point sandman?

you dont like kevin smith, and think this will be a dumb movie?

you dont like the idea of him making a comic book movie?

just trolling until you catch something like me?

Clerks and Mallrats were awesome. The first 20 minutes of Chasing Amy was great too with perhaps one of Kevin Smith's best scenes ever ("What's a nubian?"). Everything since then has pretty much sucked.

I wonder if he can get back into the raw fun, dialog and humor that made the first two so great.

Without resorting to how much was made, there's been a pretty steady stream of comic book based movies since Superman, through the Batman series and since. But, there's been a recent rash of pumping out virtually every comicbook series known to man. I believe that's the bandwagon Sandman is talking about.

I have to agree that Kevin Smith seems to be running out of ideas. Clerks and Mallrats weren't great because of what they were based on... they were great because they weren't based on anything.

Yeah Mini D...clerks and mall rats were awesome, chasing amy was good as was dogma, the rest I could do without.

I would rank Dogma as my favorite followed by clerks, although I saw Jersery Girl on my flight back from NY a couple weeks ago and its not a bad flick. What makes it especially good is that it doesnt seem like his type of movie at all but he did a good job with it.
