Kevin Smith: Fat, Man

[Smelodies]

Seriously, though: Southwest should stop discriminating against obese people, so that Kevin Smith can get back to making movies that make crass fun of women, gays, and the disabled.

Comedians are supposed to make fun of people and things, and airlines are supposed to fly people to their destinations.

Which one?

Yes, I read that he bought the two tickets for an another flight; then tried to take the one he was kicked off of.  He knew the deal.

This is true. He's said before that he always buys 2 tickets, but he took a single seat on an earlier flight on standby in this case. After he was seated, he couldn't lower the armrests. He knows he can't fit into a single seat because that's why he buys 2 tickets the rest of the time, and the flight attendants called him on it. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Comedians are supposed to make fun of people and things dish it out but never take it, and airlines are supposed to fly people to their destinations.

Fixed, apparently.

One of the buff, hunky male ones that looks all-human, and isn't half-horse or satyr or some weird shit.

The man does write comics, and not everyone in that industry has Matt Fraction's rugged looks, or Grant Morrison's super skinny bald looks. But yeah, I don't think we will be seeing any cameos in his movies anytime soon.

Uhhh, I call bullshit.  Everyone who works in comics is super hot.

Bill Gaines could turn a straight man gay.

If there's one thing that's hilarious, its policemen dragging someone handcuffed to a bumper.


*I managed to be offended by this BEFORE i realized kevin smith was involved with Cop Out.

I bet hes gotten fatter because he recently took up smoking pot.

I'm going to make the shocking prediction that he didn't "recently" start smoking weed.

Also, I'm going to guess that he was a complete gentleman on the flight.

Finally, this story needs to go away.

Yeah he has talked about it a lot on other radio shows that he appears on, he said he had really never smoked weed until a couple years ago aside from just trying it once or twice. The way he talked he was all about it now.

Always a bad sign when a comedian cant take a joke on themselves.

[Joe Rogaine]

I had no idea he was directing Cop Out until I saw the link to his twitter page.

Apparently, someone wisely changed the title from Smith's painfully unfunny original title: "A Couple Of Dicks"*, which I think I actually heard about when he was on the Mike Show.  

Seriously, though: Southwest should stop discriminating against obese people, so that Kevin Smith can get back to making movies that make crass fun of women, gays, and the disabled.


* (Get it? The word 'detectives' is sometimes truncated to just 'dicks'. In a humorous coincidence, this also happens to be an obscene slang term. Do you get it?)

As with most of his movies this one doesn't look that great. It might be worth watching for Tracy Morgan but did they really just have a "copy cat" bit in the trailer uhh? A Couple of Dicks is what he originally wanted to call it but the politically correct studio executives made him change it.

Starring in a movie with Bruce Willis seems to mean you're an actor on the rise. Directing a movie with Bruce Willis seems to mean you're a director on a decline.

Much like the recent film The White Ribbon, everyone must bear the burden of guilt in this story.
