I liked his stuff better when I was younger and fogied myself out of them when I got older. Yes, I used "fogey" as a verb. I don't know how else to describe it. But I still dig Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I've shunned everything past Clerks II. But that's because none of it has interested me plot-wise or actor-wise, not because of Smith himself.
Also, I still miss dead Kevin Smith. Dammit, that was a handsome man. Dude, why did you climb that tower in China? And you fell "several stories." Ugh, le pain. I like to think he would've had a Karl Urban-type career if he hadn't died because I think he had the chops for it. I compare him to Karl Urban because Karl Urban also came out in Xena. Just saying in case some of you didn't know or something.
