This guy has made some of the funniest movies in the last few years.

Clerks
Mallrats <- wonderful movie that is highly underrated
Chasing Amy <- kind of a chickish type movie, but still good
Dogma
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Some good, some bad... some excellent.  The discussion on the morality of killing union workers aboard the half finished Death Star is one of my favorites of all times.

I loved Mall Rats and Clerks
I thought Dogma and Chasing Amy were OK (Except for comic book conference scene... a favorite)
I didn't much care for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

Lol Kevin Smith is pretty funny.

I like Clerks the best, anyone who ever worked retail should love it.

Clerks was very good, very funny.

Mallrats I didnt think was very good, seemed mighty amateur.

Chasing Amy was an excellant movie.

Dogma had its moments, but I thought a tad too vulgar at times.

Love all his stuff...saw Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back at the sneak preview in Boise.  Most of the audience were big fans, so that added to the entertainment of the movie.

Speaking of Vulgar, anyone else watch "Vulgar".  It was written by someone else, but produced by Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier.  Had probably the most disturbing scene with a clown that I've ever been witness to.

The bad language is part of the joke.
