I mentioned in that post that I saw half of Cop Out, and while it was shit, I tend to ignore it due to him not writing it. His writing is usually the best thing about his films imo. I feel like he had very little to do with film, even though he directed it
probably just took the paycheck and told everybody to do whatever the hell they wanted while he got stoned off his ass in his trailer
red state was not very good. in fact, you're probably the only person on here I know that liked it. I thought it started out well and had some potential, but the 2nd half was just a complete clusterfuck that I grew more and more disinterested in, not to mention the characters were shit. who was i supposed to be rooting for again? I kinda wish Kevin Smith had ended it the way he originally wanted to end it. then I probably would have given him some props for going completely balls to the wall crazy. the ending he stuck with though, was just lame. I guess I still give him props for attempting something so different than what he usually does, but this is probably his worst film (though I still haven't seen Jersey Girl, who knows what I'll think of that)
