Comic-Con 2008: Kevin Smith




Kevin Smith started his panel by offering people $20 for one of the free Wonder Woman bags they handed out. His wife wanted one, he couldn't find one, and he wants to get laid via the barter system.

He showed 5 minutes of Zack and Miri Make a Porno and then the cast joined him - some dude, Justin Long, Traci Lords, Katie Morgan, Jason Mewes, Seth Rogen, and Elizabeth Banks.

The panel was hilarious, of course. The clip was great - Justin Long and Brandon Routh play a gay couple. The movie got an NC-17 rating for the first 3 cuts. Now he's appealing it to the ratings board. Otherwise he has to cut "thrusting" and "something unspeakable." He is contractually obligated to deliver an R-rated movie.

Kevin was asked if there's any subject so offensive he won't touch it. He said, "I can't do anything with rape. In real life either." He's done with the Jay and Silent Bob characters. He is toying with a Clerks 3 with the guys in their late 40s. He wants to do a courtroom drama. Next up is a horror movie, followed by something he couldn't discuss, other than saying it was "set in space".

Kevin Smith is a god among men with his quick wit. Love it.

I'm lining up at 4 AM tomorrow for the Heroes panel. Is that weird? I just want to do the crazy fangirl thing. As if going to Comic-Con weren't enough.
