Yoga Hosers is up to rent, I'm about to watch it. Stoked.

Not great reviews. But tell us how it is.

Critics are full of crap, movie rocked

But, I'm a big Kev fan going back to the Clerks days so my opinion is biased

[diableri]

Glad to read that. I enjoyed the last couple for what they were. Looking forward to this one as well.

It's like Strange Brew mashed up with an 80's monster film

Kevin Smith might be a great proof as to why weed is bad for you. Good lord he was so much better before he started smoking. He talked about retiring from filmmaking...he should really consider that again.

This is not a drill! This is an actual image from my laptop! Yes, Kids - Jay and Silent Bob are coming back! Here's the story: Sadly, Clerks III can't happen (one of our four leads opted out of the flick). So I worked on a #Mallrats movie instead... which also didn't happen because it turned into a #Mallrats series. I've pitched said sequel series to 6 different networks only to find no takers thus far. Mind you, I'm not complaining: nobody gets to make EVERYTHING they wanna make in this business (do they?). And I've been lucky to make anything at all, there's so much competition out there, so many much cooler ideas from fresh folks. And besides: I had #comicbookmen and then @tuskthemovie and @yogahosers (which all came together so crazy quickly), and the podcasts and #fatmanonbatman. With all of that, how could I bitch about no Clerks III or Mallrats 2? Then when I started directing @thecw shows, it was such a slice of Heaven on Earth, I happily put my Askewniverse sequels to the side. Since I sold #Clerks and #Mallrats years ago, they're owned by others, which limits my moves with my own material. I don't mind: back in the day, all I ever wanted to do was sell my stuff so I could be in the movie biz in the first place. So I don't own Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy or #Dogma... But I DO own #jayandsilentbob. So while I love playing with someone else's new toys on @cwtheflash and @Supergirl, I'm getting eager to play with my old toys again in the inter-connected View Askewniverse I spent the first half of my career creating. And so all last month, I had the time of my life laughing while writing "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" - a fun flick in which the Jersey boys have to go back to Hollywood to stop a brand new reboot of the old "Bluntman & Chronic Movie" they hated so much. It's a tongue-in-cheek, silly-ass satire that pokes fun at the movie business's recent re-do obsession, featuring an all-star cast of cameos and familiar faces! And I already met with the good folks at Miramax and they're into it, so I'm hoping we'll be shooting in the summer! Never give up, kids. You CAN do anything you want in life, so long as you're patient and malleable. #KevinSmith

Retire? Fuck that Holden McNeil, you can never have enough weed and dick and fart jokes.

THIS is a reboot I can get into.


Why not sell the mall rats series to Netflix? It would KILL.

I love that I just see "COCK".

[defcon]

So excited.

Yoga Hosers left a bad taste in my mouth but in a weird way I kind of liked the movie.

Snooth to the bootch!

[dobyblue]

So disappointing that despite virtually all key cast members committing to a new project, Mallrats:Whatever didn't get off the ground.



Snootchie Bootchies!

He probably did.

[chadizzy1]

You can watch the pilot for Kev's new show, Hollyweed

http://on.rivittv.com/hollyweed/

And then you can pledge to support it so more episodes get made! Watch it for free, it's awesome. Then go pledge to support it, because I want more

It's unfortunate that Comic Book Men wasn't picked up for more episodes. They were just starting to pull in some bigger named guests from doing the convention circuit.

Even though it was a direct rip off of Pawn Stars, I still enjoyed it.

It was intentional. Kevin Smith always said he wanted a show that was "Pawn Stars in a comic book store"
