Inept might be a little more fitting for a guy of his ability. <br /><br />I wish he would just get back to basics and make comedies about shit he knows. There's still an audience for it, I think, but he may be way beyond that point in both his career and personal life to come back around.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-56610064830051635602012-02-22T01:25:44.084-05:002012-02-22T01:25:44.084-05:00I pretty much hated ever second of Red State.

I wanted to believe that Kevin Smith could turn that ship around and get sailing in the right direction. But no, I thought it was really, really awful. <br /><br />I think that what you're calling ballsy I'm gonna call lazy. It's easy to write ten pages of monologue regurgitating Westboro Baptist Church talking points and letting Michael Parks carry a quarter of your movie on his charisma alone. Especially since the scene was neither informative, interesting or suspenseful. It was just boring. That's not good directing or brave, it's just lazy.Joe Humphreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352634618857807360noreply@blogger.com
