Pleasantly surprised by this very entertaining very chilled, movie, the idea of a director just talking for two hours, not all about his movies but his career, his ideas his arguments, and philosophy, and ancedotes.

It's in Lazer in Ranelagh, which incidently has nearly gone totally DVD, and it's four hours long.

You're left with an strong sensation that american college students are utter morons though.....

Slightly smaller, only one floor. Same collection only less, similair vibe (you feel guilty renting anything trashy when they've got such an extensive stock of good films)

i know the feeling. I've taken the walk of shame with a few Judge Reinhold classics in my time.

i've struck gold a few times in laser though. They're great for off the beaten track directors and b/w classics not to mention music movies and tv boxsets.(they should pay me for that paragraph)

Yeah, got this out a few weeks back!

Thought it was great fun. Am a huge fan of his films though.

Loved the Batman story where he has to fight the "big mechanical spider"
Also thought the story about the documentary he was making on Prince was very interesting! Prince comes across as a right lunatic though. Having sex with the open wound was also hilarious - but equally horrible!

There's a sequel to the documentary in the works apparantly: An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (Die Hard 2 reference in there, i'm guessing!)

He comes across as smart and funny bloke which is more than can be said of most of the college students. And even though I'm a big fan of his films I found his stories unrelated to his films the best part(eg. Prince Documentary, Superman)
