I can't think of Kevin Smith without also thinking of this story.

Personally, not really a fan of Kevin Smith humor.

He did make Tusk (2014), which is almost in that 'so bad it's good' category.

Yeah, his movies never really appealed to me. That picture is hilarious though.

Jay and Silent Bob, Clerks, Dogma, and Zack and Miri are all so good though. The rest, not so much. I like all his Q&As that are like 3 hours long and he only answers 2 questions too.

They’re ok I guess? If I still had TV channels and one was on I couldn’t say that I’d be interested enough that you’d have a hard time pulling me away.

He makes comedies for edgy high schoolers.

Back when I was an edgy high schooler, I thought it was fantastic.

20 years later, not so much...

I'm a 45 yo high schooler then. His work is genius.

Never grow up.

Don't get me wrong. Immature humor never goes out of style. Freddy Got Fingered is still peak comedy to me, probably in the top #3.

Just something about Kevin Smith...

Umbrella Academy season 3 is a complete mess. Feels like the writers are just trying to see what sticks and promptly forgetting about things they set up or feelings that characters had.

I'm reluctant to start Stranger Things because I feel like seasons 2 and 3 had already been trending downward -- trying to capture the magic of the first season.

This is why I find it hard to start new shows. They either get cancelled or flame out badly and you've ended up wasting your time being invested in them. Everyone is saying the same thing about UA:

Season 1 is good
Season 2 is meh
Season 3 is crap

So I won't bother.

Not everything needs 5 seasons and a movie! In fact, rarely anything does. Ugh! It's all about money and engagement numbers.

I liked season 3.

The general consensus is that seasons 4 is the best one since the first. I think it gets long and drawn out at parts, but overall thought it was pretty good.

The remake of Jay and Silent Bob was way better than I was expecting

I usually try to start shows when they're done, but didn't always work that way.

I used to be obsessive about finishing books, shows and movies no matter what. Now i value my time so if it's bad i just stop or if it gets repetitive like Bosch, Eureka, Blacklist. They were good but just the same theme over and over. Well Eurelka was cheesy, but somewhat enjoyable.
