Best & Worst: Kevin Smith

15 years of highs and lows with the king of stoner cinema

Best & Worst: Insult
 

The Best: LOTR vs Star Wars


Film: Clerks II (2006)

Why It Rocks: Kevin Smith hands Peter Jackson’s middle earth amblers a beat-down. How? In the form of Star Wars acolyte Randal’s (Jeff Anderson) withering description of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy as “just a bunch of walkin’”.

Cue threats from the Tolkien head to “kick his ass back to the Shire” and spew all over the Mooby’s floor.

The Worst: The Giant Poop Monster

Film: Dogma (1999)



Why It Sucks: Not technically an onscreen swipe but an insult to moviegoers everywhere. Convoluted Catholic loopholes, demonic hockey players and fallen angels we’ll take.

But a steaming pile of crap presenting itself as a fearsome monster? Sorry Kev, we’re going to have to flush this one.

      Wow, in another article you put Alanis Morisette as God as one of biggest miscasts in movies ever and here you praise it.
