I see what you're saying.

No.

Quote from: The Bill Hicks Appreciation Society on August 2, 2008, 01:40:51 pm

I think he's quite obviously influenced by John Hughes, especially evident in Chasing Amy and Mallrats. I don't think you can say Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back are particularly John Hughes-y

Well, he thinks so.

'My stuff is basically John Hughes films with swearing'.

He says a lot of self depricating stuff, though.

I think there's a bit more to some of them (particularly dogma) than that.

Just finished his diaries 'My Boring Ass Life' - very funny read, and an excellent section about when Mewes was trying to kick heroin.

Got my tickets for Manchester

£13 for a front row premier seat. Fucking bargain. Cannot wait not just for the film but the Q&A.

Went to his last London Q&A and paid £45 for the ticket and then add onto that hotel and travel. Lets just say that this is a bargain price and would have paid alot more

Still listen to his podcasts on the train and love all of the. It was through his podcasts that I discovered Ralph Garman (Garmy Strong) who is really funny and I love the Per Diem podcasts he does with his wife.

Red State is so far out of the standard Kevin Smith box that it sucks you in. Gutted that his next film after this will be his last but the way he is going out is very brave

Yeah if he gets Alan Rickman in as he wants then he'll kil with this. Hockey is not something I'm interested in (outside of The Mighty Ducks when I was 9

). But I'm interested in this

I've always had a small interest in ice hockey. My old man and I used to watch NHL games on tape and I really think he'll pull out the stops with this.

Seems really excited by it

Yeah. This fascination with Gretzky is almost a religion to him now and the attitude he has taken from that (adding in his new found love of weed

) is certainly come through the past year

You heard much about this semi-TV talk show he may be doing next year. That could be very fun

Only what hes said, thing is he could turn his hand to anything.

He's just a funny guy and could make a living by doing tours.

It's about being where the puck is going... Or some shit

If he comes to Liverpool and the price is similar to Manchester then I'm doing both

<£30 for 2 Q&A's with him = worth it for me

to put this in perspective the American tours for this have had ticket prices between $60-$80. So cost wise this is an amazing price

I was waiting, but didn't want to miss out. Sure if he announces a Liverpool date ill be able to sort something.

Im set as it is so that's all that matters

Damn good point, as you said his Q&A tours cost a fair amount usually.

And its not likely to be the same show twice over.

He is not doing a live Liverpool date. But his London Q&A will be live streamed to the other picturehouse@fact's (including the Liverpool picturehouse)

Just got a ticket for the Manchester Q&A. £12 is an absolute bargain. Saw him at the O2 about 2 years back, and he's an incredibly entertaining bloke.

Hope he does his "Manchester, England" song that he does on Hollywood Babylon podcast!

Yup that was the one. He still mentions Bethany on his many podcasts now and again. Enjoyed the show, a few too many bellends wanting to get a hug from him though!

Yeah that pissed me off. But everything else was great. Got amazing seats. Didn't have the balls to ask him a question. But was made up with what he had to say.

According to the Odeon website it will go on for about three hours (film and Q&A) so well worth £12.

Bry and Q from tell em steve dave are doing a show 18th September at the Fab Cafe in Manchester - might not be everyones cup of tea - but its given me as much joy as Smodcasts so I'll certainly go along.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #72 on:** August 23, 2011, 04:43:12 pm »

Sounds like Kev is pissed about having to do these uk dates. The uk distributers have sold the tickets way too cheap (I knew those tickets were way too cheap) and without kev's permission.

Also those who have joined that smodcost service (premium rate service that let's you get tickets early) weren't told (because no one told Kev).

This could be a crappy Q&A. Still looking forward to the film

Well I heard about them from his tweets, plus I can't see him making the fans suffer.
More likely he'll have a pop at the distributors in the Q&A

Red State got released in America yesterday and the torrents are starting to surface. Resisting the temptation to watch it before the Q&A.

What an awful awful movie Red State is. I don't even know what to say beyond that. There was absolutely nothing good or enjoyable about it, just a big ball of nothingness. Was only ninety minutes long but it felt more like three hours.

Probably not a bad thing that he's quitting making movies.

Totally agree. It was a huge disappointment. A real mess of a movie. Didn't get it at all. No idea what he was trying to achieve with it.

Well only got to wait til tomorrow now. Hotel is all booked. Just need to pick up my tickets and I'm sorted

I know its got some negative press. But I've managed to stay away from the torrents and the critics reviews. Will give my verdict when I get back on Thursday.

Regardless about how I feel about the film I am sure I will enjoy the Q&A
