    I finally got around to renting this over the weekend. It's basically footage from five college Q&A sessions. Most of it is hilarious, especially when Kevin talks about writing the doomed "Superman" script for Warner Bros, and the bizarre documentary he filmed for Prince.

    I love Kevin's movies and could listen to him talk for hours and hours. Even if you aren't a fan of his films, this DVD is really enjoyable.

    I had it for awhile, but sold it. It's great the first time you watch it, but each additional viewing is boring as all get-out.

    My mother gave it to me for Christmas when it came out. I found it quite funny. I've actually re-watched it a couple times. (I didn't expect that either.) My favorite part was his exchange with Tim Burton.

    A friend of mine downloaded Kevin's "Superman" script for the author to sign at a college appearance.

    He signed it, "F**k Tim Burton! Signed, Kevin Smith"!:laugh:

    That is one of the funniest dvds I have seen. I love the part where he talks about the producer who wants a giant spider etc and how he went on to produce Wild Wild West.

    Very funny, and I'm not even a big fan. I particularly enjoyed his account of Prince world.

    I am so sick of hearing about Smith's "Superman" script. It may have made a good comic book but it was no damn good as a feature!

    I am sort of looking forward to "Jersey Girl." It looks to be his first "adult" film.

    Me too, especially since Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back was very childish(albeit funny).

    His skateboarder aged fans are not gonna like it, methinks, but I'm sure I will.

    BTW, I thought Dogma was an adult film.

    Evan, I don't disagree about Dogma. But I can't say more in this thread without crapping (so to speak)... :D
