kevin smith is the worst person on the planet.
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 2:28 pmso recently i re-watched dogma, and i am struck with how dumb it is.
lettuce examine the various fallacies:
loki is not an angel, he is a norse god of mischief and evil. loki is a scandernavian name which is about as far away from israel as you can mother fucking get.
serendipity is not a fucking muse. i suppose mr. smith was trying to be clever by using the word as a muse's name (serendipity means accidental discovery - bone a muse and you get gud ideaz), but, what the fuck muse could she be? calliope, the muse of epic poems? thalia, muse of comedy? erato, muse of porn?
along the same lines is the entire character of azrael: azrael is not a greecian name. it's a DEMONIC name.
and muses weren't fucking male. jesus christ that was a dumb idea. none of them 'fell' because muses aren't angels.
of course, these are just the characters. as a director of movies, kevin smith fails TERRIBLY. his direction technique is purely textbook, completely elementary and bland. it's like he bought a book on How To Make Movies. his shots, his cinemotography, lighting, music and scripts are entirely bland and without interest.
lauded director that he is, it's kind of fishy that he is so fucking BLAND. there's nothing to look for. there aren't any cool shots. there aren't cool lighting effects. there isn't great music in any of his movies, except for that new pornos song played in the background in jay and silent bob.
his stories are dumb. you think that his characters are supposed to be ironic archetypes, like every character in a frank miller comic or in slaughterhouse-five or in a quentin tarentino movie, but it's not like that at all. his characters aren't 2-D, badly acted and terribly developed for a purpose - they're like that because he can't write a fucking character, nor can he direct a fucking actor.
DEVIATION FROM SUBJECT AND POINTLESS FLAMING GO!
