The Kevin Smith NY Comic Con Footage

Thanks to a number of readers who submitted this over the past week. Sorry for the delay in getting it up. Here's the clip of Smith talking about Singerman at the N.Y. Comic Con a couple weekends ago. Instead of getting the details second hand, it's always more interesting to hear them directly from the source. Note how the audience is just eating up every bit of it. Guess that's what happens when you get a room full of people who understand the character of Superman. Why couldn't Warner Brothers do that?

Wow the guy who made MALLRATS did not like SR, now that is something. What's next the director of GIGLI says he could have made a better film if he got the job.

I hate to burst your bubble SSS but saying that all the comic con fans were in agreement with him because they know Superman is dumb. Singer made an appearance at comic-con in the middle of SR run and there were tons of Superman fans there gushing at him over the film he made.

Anyone seen raimi's spidey footage yet? http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31776

FUCK IT WB, JUST GIVE THIS MAN SUPERMAN, PLEASE! That one clip was better than everything in returns.

Yawn, I hate returns and stuff but please don't suggest WB give that hack raimi, the superman franchise. He has his head even further up Donner's ass than Singer does...

And I wish I could get through that clip but I fell asleep during the boring as hell lifetime family chat scene in the beginning. Way to sell a movie... bore the piss out of your audience. just like stalkerman... Oh I love that word stalkerman btw. It's Genius.

Yes, someone who has done JACK SHIT in the entertainment business can "Defend" this turd BS "created", but someone who has made SEVERAL FILMS can't critique it? You really are a lame-brained moron, aren't you?

I would rather have seen Jason Mewes play Superman, than BS' "vision".....

Hate to break this to you SSS, but even people who liked the film would laugh at the points he makes. It has nothing to do with the audience understanding the character. Oh and his biggest beef? Wasn't even Singers fault. It was about the kiss in Superman 2 which then would make it rape. Last I checked Singer didn't write Superman 2.

And to my fellow apologists on here, say what you want about KS's movies...He's knows what he is talking about when it comes to comic books. He probably knows more than the people posting on this blog.

This is soo true...I like the Spiderman movies a lot, but they borrow their entire structure from Superman 1 and 2. They are talking about Raimi doing the hobbit and I want him no where near Middle Earth.

But he DID choose to "kind of, sort of" follow Superman II. So in essence, it IS his fault. No one made him do it, he was too unoriginal to do his own thing.

Regardless Spiderman 3 will suck hard. The special effects can't touch superman returns and the crappy Aunt May its like just die already. Superman Returns still rules!

With a sequel in 2009 even AP and the idiot who can't post his name will be in each others arms crying!

You are right in a way, but his main complaint was "When did you rape me?" that would be a direct result from Superman 2. Singer didn't do himself any favors by giving Superman a kid. I like the movie a lot, but even I am not thrilled with this. It's a complication and a fanbase splitting story element that he didn't need to put in the movie.

Hate to say it, but I think Kevin Smith is right about the kiss dilemma.

I think Singer would have done better just to say that it wasn't a quasi-sequel to Superman II or something.

WTF would he know, what has he done in the genre film wise. He has a rejected Superman script to show for himself. He trashes Burton all the time and he has made dozens of hits. KS knowing about comic books and writing a few of them does not mean he knows how to make a great superhero movie. If this guy actually did that then his words would carry more weight. Sam Raimi has a ton of credibility to say something like this. He has class though, something Smith knows nothing about. You don't hear big time directors in the Hollywood calling people out and trashing others work. Smith is a hack who will never be put in charge of something like Superman, so he feels free to just trash people's work like this.

Actually you are wrong...He was going to do a Green Lantern film, but decided not to because it's not the kind of movie he's comfortable making. So he would be put in charge if he truly wanted to do it.

KS freely admits that the big epic movies aren't his thing..All he wants to do is make personal films that his fans will like and make a profit. Everyone of his films has made a profit for the studio (even Jersey Girl, although not much)

Clerks 2 was made for 5 million and made over 20 in it's domestic run. And their marketing budget was very small..So let's say he would have to make 12 million to cover all expenses and theatre cuts (double the budget and 2.5 more marketing wich is probably higher than the actual number) that means that Clerks 2 made the studio 8 million dollars before foreign sales (admittedly I don't know how it did over seas) and DVD sales which were very good, like all his movies.

Clerks 2 that is your example of success. 10 people in America see KS movies when they come out. Don't you see how foolish he looks making fun of a guy like Burton who has made tons of films that have easily grossed over 100 mil at the BO. That is why Burton came out and fired back against Smith years ago. His attitude was i am Tim Burton you are a fucking nobody. You look awfully petty when you say i just want to make personal movies and have no interest in this big epic films. Then turn around and rip the shit out of people that have the talent and guts to actually make them.

It doesnt matter what Smith has done film wise. He wasnt critiquing the film from a directorial perspective, he was critiquing it as a story about Superman. Being that he was actually a writer for DC I'd say that makes qualified to comment on the character content of the film. Superman is Superman no matter what the medium he appears in. If you know these characters and have a love for them like Smith does to a level he actually wrote them than I'd say he's more than qualified to comment on what Superman does in a movie, regardless of what he'd one as a director.
Your logic is ridiculous, it's like you're saying you have to be able to direct a good Superman movie in order to be able to critique Singer's.
And it's funny, if some comic writer or artist came out saying that they liked SR, you Apologists would have a 100 page thread dedicated to how cool it is over on BlewTights.

Right but when Donner and Raimi come out and say they liked the film they are full of shit on the subject. Anyone of any merit in Hollywood that says they liked the film according to you guys is a liar. Guys like KS with far less credibility say they did not like it and that is truly meaningful. He has a right to voice his views on the film. I am just saying this guys history of ripping on other peoples work whom have accomplished far more in Hollywood than him makes him look petty and immature.

If Smith was not allowed to be immature he would have no career. His films are usually about people getting stoned watched by people who are stoners.

Anonymous said...

I dont know or care much about Raimi but Donner has a vested interest in saying good things about Singerman. Considering Bryan's good friend and producer on the X films was Lauren Shuler Donner, Richard's wife, and Singer's film was basically a love letter to him that enabled him to finally do his cut on Superman II. Dick Donner also regulalry works for WB so it's in his best interests not to say anything but positive things about it.

Anonymous said...

Yeah and Jay and Silent Bob now that is a quality film right there. Blows out of the water The Usual Suspects. Jersey Girl WOW that did wonders to revive Ben Affleck's career. You guys realize that Smith makes appearances all the time and always works the crowd by talking shit about people. It is who he is and what he does. If Smith spent as much time making movies as he does ripping other's film he might be as big as a Singer or a Burton.

Considering he rips into his own films and his own talent just as much as he does directors films that he doesn't like, I don't see the problem. Remember, I'm an apologist and I don't see what the big deal is with Smith not liking the film.

In and of itself it is not a big deal. However when people want to give his take all sorts of legitimicy. They can't then conversely say other big time people in Hollywood liking the film are not credible. I have seen that too many times on this blog, it goes both ways guys.

He is shitting on Singer's film due in part to the fact that he never got his shot to make Superman. Burton thought his script was shit and told him to take a hike. He has been bitter about it ever since.

It just putting things in perpective is all. Smith has a grudge against Burton because he tossed his script for Superman aside years ago and Smith has talked bad about him ever since. Burton is a far better director than Smith comparing their careers is laughable. Now KS is talking shit about SR. Well gee i am supposed to believe that he is still not bitter about what happened to him and that had no bearing on his comments. If anyone who likes SR is in Singers back pocket according to you guys, then why the hell should we take Smith at his word, with no agenda behind it?

"The momentum to remove Singer continues unabated"

It is funny you guys really seem to think this. You just love to spin everything about Singer. Did SR disappoint financially yes it did. However at the end of the day it got good reviews and made more money WW than Batman Begins. Why would you think that is not enough to bring Singer back for one more Superman movie? Because of what SR cost to make. Any other director will have to deal with the same budget Singer is going to deal with in the sequel. It will have to be made for less money. They are not going to hand a different director a ton of more money than Singer just because he is not Singer.

because Smith's issues are with Tim Burton, not the character of Superman. Burton's Superman Lives had next to nothing to do with the film that Singer wound up making. They scrapped Burton's whole idea and went through 4 other directors before Singer.

No one said the sequel would be bad because Singer has less of a budget. We're saying the sequel will be bad because Singer had a crap load more money to put out a Superman film and completely blew it, so he sure as heck wont be able to atone for it with less of a budget. You're right, another director would have the same budget to deal with. However many directors have done much more than Singer did with far less cash at their disposable. Most of the competent ones tend not to spend $10 million on scenes that get cut because their deemed unnecessary for the film. A decent director spends that money wisely, and makes sure the vast majority of it is worthy of showing up in the final product.

I understand all that but you guys can't say that Smith is totally credible in his views on the film and then tell me when Donner and Raimi say they liked the film they are full of shit. Smith was tossed aside like trash by Burton and WB. It is very easy to assume he is still harboring a deep hatred about all of it and was going to despise any version of Superman that he was not involved in.

Sure we can. Smith wrote for DC comics and was one of their better writers for a while he gets the characters. He has no vested interest in the film other than that of a fan, so why shouldnt his opinion be credible? Whereas Donner has a million reasons to nod his head in agreement with what ever Singer does. How many time must we list out them out?

Smith wasnt "tossed aside like trash." Way to embelish that. He's said numerous times he was paid for what he did so I'm not sure how that makes him "trash?" So your BIG assumption about him "harboring hatred" is a way off base, and is only assumed by you so as to somehow make it easier in your head to discredit anything the man says.

LOL hey buddy do you realize that people from DC at one time approved Muhammad Ali and Dustin Hoffman to play Superman when the Salkinds were just getting it together. I'd say they understood the character and those were their choices for Superman. Reading comics and yes even writing them does not mean you have what it takes to make a great comic book film. Bryan Singer has proven that he can do this, so has Burton Smith has not. I agree with the poster about Smith he never shuts the fuck up about other peoples work which makes him come off as less credible. I am sure when this came out most people in Hollywood just said, hey look Kevin Smith is shooting his dumb mouth off again, what else is new.

Of course he is bitter the guy admits that when fans ask him to sign copies of his Superman script he signs his name and then always puts FUCK TIM BURTON, right next to it. Does that sound to you like the actions of a man not bitter about being dismissed from project?

Do me a favor, Don't presume to call me a fake fan...I've been a Superman fan my whole life. It was the only comic I read. I didn't read it religously, but I would read them. I watch everything having to do with the man of steel. I'm an apologist, because even though I didn't like the spying, and I'm still not sure how I feel about the kid (but he has had a kid in the comics with Lex so to speak) but I'm not so stuck on any one version to hate this film. I enjoyed it..It could have been a lot better, yes...But I still enjoyed it.

I winced just like you guys did when he xrayed Lois's house, but I just decided not to let it ruin the film.

Hate or love it, I don't care, just don't call me a fake fan. If I was a fake fan, I sure as hell wouldn't put up with the abuse that we get on this blog. I don't defend the movie because I love Bryan Singer, I defend it because I happened to like the film. Now I will admit that I'm very easy to please, but I'm not about to let the fact that this Superman isn't like the Silver Age or Golden Age Superman run my life.

who said anything about Smith's ability to make a good comic book film? No one is debating that or valuing Smith's opinion as a filmmaker. His opinion has credibility due to his stellar work on the comics.
Amd check your facts, DC Comics wasnt approving anyone to play Superman in the 1970's. It was the casting company that the people previous to the Salkinds brought in.

No according to one of the many documentaries in the Ultimate Collection DC provided a list of people that could play Superman and those were two of the names they came up with. As crazy as it sounds they seemed to think Dustin Hoffman could play Superman.

I did. Your mom is going to tell you to call me "Daddy" from now on, shit-stain. And don't call your mom's FACE "comics" anymore. It's not THAT ugly.

Isn't it funny how some fucking lame-brain "Apologist" spits out insults, then whines like a fucking pussy when he is shit on all over by me?

Go fuck yourself, junior. No one else ever will.

ApologistPuncher said...

Oh, I get it now. Pretty fucking weak attempt to be 2 "people", you "ladyboy" bitch.

First, the ball-licker posts this:

"OK Denialist who jerk off over the comics."

Then this:

"Hey AP dont you have a life I at least take a few days off!"

ALL under his "REtard" monicker.

THEN, he comes back with this:

"It is awfully pathetic how much you post here. If there are 80 posts you are responsible for half of them."

And:

"Stop jerking off to comics so much and find a girlfriend."

Under "anonymous". Jesus, you warped-brain asshole, try not to be so OBVIOUS in your patheticness.

Go fuck yourself, junior.

Wow I must really scare you huh?

Yeah, the fucking LIAR who claimed he would leave and NEVER come back is telling us we're supposed to take him by his "word"? Anyone else with a brain see the absurdity of the situation?

I have a NAME here, I don't make one up and put it on the bottom of my shit-filled posts. The PROOF I supplied shows you are a fucking liar and a BAD ONE at that. I knew once I posted that you would be here with your fucking bullshit again.

Go fuck BS, you ladyboy faggot.

Freud would have a field day with you posting your "fantasies" online anonymously, closet-boy. Your parents HATE you already, what would it hurt to crack the door? Let your limp-wrist hang, youngster.

And soon, probably under another topic, these same "Apologist" pussies will be whining about the harsh, but well-deserved, shit kicked in their faces. I've said ti before and I KNOW I'll say it again: You have to be brain-dead to be an "Apologist".

I was saying how YOU, being a closeted homesexual, should stop casting YOUR fantasies on others. As a heterosexual male, fantasies between a man and woman are perfectly NORMAL, you ignorant asshole....

Here's my advice to you AGAIN, I suggest you take it:

You are having fantasies about banging peoples mom's you inbred sack of dog shit. That is you answer to anyone who outdebates you. Oh yeah well i fucked your mom and your signature GO FUCK YOURSELF JUNIIOR, mighty clever. I know you are a faggot and ashamed of it. That is why you talk so much trash about Singer being GAY and mask it by talking about sex with people's mothers. I can set you up with a good therapist and you can get all these issues out in the open.

Go Singer in 2009!

No matter what, they'll always be the wholy grail of Superman mythology. NOT The donner movies. No matter what this donner fanboy, Singer, thinks. I think he's a talented director, but he fucked up. Apologists, just get it through your thick skulls. He fucked up. There's no hidden brilliance to his film. He just fucked up. Re-doing STM and adding a kid is fucking up. Yes.

Why should they accept that he fucked up? They liked the film a lot of people liked it. I don't think there has ever been a film in history that has made 200 mil at the BO, received good reviews and been looked upon so harshly by the many in the public. Expectations for SR were just through the roof. Seems to me anything short of Spiderman numbers and people were going to complain. Spiderman BTW was a film that i read the studio was hoping would make about 150 mil. They never saw coming the massive smash Spiderman became. I personally think WB overestimated Superman's appeal. This is a genre that has flooded the film industry in recent years. Many of us see Superman as the best comic character of them all. However too the non-fans many see him as just another Superhero.

HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS I THINKING? THE CRITICS EXCEPT THE MOST WIDELY KNOWN AND RESPECTED ONE EBERT SAID IT WAS GOOD SO IT'S GOOD. THE MOVIE MADE IT TO 200 MIL SO IT'S GOOD. THE BLUETIGHTS SITE SAYS IT'S GOOD SO IT'S GOOD. PEOPLE JUST THINK SUPERMAN, MOST POPULAR SUPERHERO IN HISTORY, IS JUST ANOTHER SUPERHERO THESE DAYS, SO THAT'S WHY IT DIDN'T MAKE BACK ITS BUDGET AND STRUGGLES TO MAKE A PROFIT. HOW COULD I BE SO WRONG. THANKS FOR SETTING ME RIGHT.

NOT.

I know what I think. There's no excuse in the world that'll work for trying to convince anyone here that remaking stm and adding superboy was the best way to bring back the man of steel in 2006. Good try. And keep trying. It's good for a laugh, you apologist.

The REALLY sad part of this kid's post is this: He COPIED ALL OF HIS INSULTS FROM MY POSTS. jesus, at least try to be original, you fucking ball-sack. Oh, and way to prove you are BOTH of those "people" AGAIN.

Here we go with the "lot of people" bullshit.

As an "Apologist", you have to forget the amount of weeks it took to get to $200 million, the extended $1 theater run, and the IMAX 3-D boost. They talk about "all" of the people they know who "liked" the film, ignoring others when they say people they know DIDN'T like it. It must be all "rainbow's and sunshine" in their world. Luckily, I live in R-E-A-L-I-T-Y.

And a GOOD Superman movie would have made $400 million domestic EASILY. When we get one, you'll see.

Nowhere did i ignore the people that do not like the film. That goes both ways you can't simply ignore all those who liked it simply because you did not. I have no idea why you would say a good Superman movie makes 400 mil domestic. What are you baseing that on? STM did not make that much, check the inflation, Superman 2 same thing with inflation made about 250 mil. As i said before Spiderman caught the studio by surprise they did not see the success it had coming not even close.

How can I say that? Because it's TRUE.

Just because Singerman Peeps under-performed, does not mean it's the movie-going public's fault. It's just another EXCUSE for you "Apologists" to throw around. "It's not the film, it's the people". WRONG. If Spiderman did it, a GOOD Superman movie would too. Did the studio not expect part 2 to make $373 million DOMESTIC too? Was that a "surprise" too?

Come up with a NEW excuse, "Apologist". All of your old ones are played-out.

I am not saying a Superman movie can not do it i am saying it is unlikely. Why did Spiderman destroy all the X-Men movies in terms of BO. By all accounts X-Men and X2 were great comic book films and did not come close to Spiderman's BO. Your point about the sequel is irrelevant. Once Spiderman made what it did the sequels's success was almost a given. Lucas never saw SW success coming but obviously he knew Empire would be a big hit. As i said before Superman's overall appeal is not what it was. Ask yourself this question. Why when SR got good reviews and was promoted to shit by WB did it not open a lot bigger than it did? Word of mouth had yet to spread and all signs pointed to this being a good film.

Sorry, but the "signs" were BAD from the start.

Do you think people weren't put off by the costume? Honestly? Because people KNOW what Superman looks like, whether YOU "Apologists" think so or not. Then they saw that STUPID kid, and it was obvious where THAT was going. So don't "assume" it was Superman as a CHARACTER that failed, it was BS and BS alone.

Also, if you think the general move-going public is hooked on "reviews", then ALL of the Oscar-nominated flicks would be breaking records. They aren't. NOTHING in the trailers "grabbed" people, and if you took off your "Apologist" glasses for a second, you'd see that.

LOL you are fucking joking right. Way to prove what a fanboy clown you are. Every magazine i picked up i read how much BR looked like CR asshole. So shit yes i know what Superman looks like and they cast a guy who is a dead ringer for the last Superman. BR was not flying around in a black fucking Superman suit you retard. Are you deluded enough into thinking the average person noticed a big difference in the suit? None of that shit was the problem try again, that was your weakest yet.

Yep, proving your age here, dickless. See people, I say "take off your "Apologist" glasses", and this mongoloid couldn't even do it ONCE.

If you don't think he looks like him that's fine but both the media and the public say otherwise.
