J.R. and I have been on Kevin Smith overload lately. J.R. needs to catch up in Kev world (he'd seen Dogma, and that's it), so I started him off with Clerks a few months ago, we moved on through Mallrats and Chasing Amy, and we re-watched Dogma this weekend. We also watched An Evening With Kevin Smith and Evening Harder, both of which made us laugh so hard we wheezed. Finally, tonight we saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. Don't get me wrong, he's still Kevin Smith (and I love him for it), but I think he may actually be growing as a filmmaker. Or maybe he's just using better actors. Whatever. It kinda freaks me out, but in a good way -- not the way that I was freaked out when I saw Mewes. All of him. Ahem. Bygones. It was a fun film, and I look forward to making J.R. watch Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl, and Clerks II, so he'll be where I am now. Or something.
Also, I'd like to point out how hard it was to write this entire post without using the word "cock." And you should definitely stay through the credits at Zack and Miri. Garrett out.
