Kevin Smith, director of Clerks, Mallrats, and my personal fav Chasing Amy (not to mention writer of the recently-released Batman: The Widening Gyre), took an enormous undertaking this weekend: 24 hours of straight Twittering.
“I’ve been training for this my whole life, simply by being a lazy fat-ass who’d rather stare at a screen than better himself with a brisk constitutional,” Smith told Reuters.
Of course, when you have more than 1.2 million followers, that tends to generate some nice questions. So we at Blog@ checked it out, bringing to you just a handful of Kevin’s musing — these discussing comics. Considering he’s a comics fan who also has his hands in film, it’s an interesting read.
And if you’re ever seen a Kevin Smith film, you know these Tweets below the cut are filled with vulgarities and likely not safe for work…
“Black Cat, Mary Jane, or Gwen Stacy?” Felicia Hardy, FTW. She likes to fuck masked men, and when they come clean, she wigs.
“Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern?” I totally buy him as a Hal. Reynolds can play less smirky, too. He can do this. It’ll rock.
“Would you rather have Thor’s hammer or Darth Maul’s double sided lightsaber?” Neither: Hal’s Oan power ring.
“Favorite Batgirl?” Babs FTW.
“WIll Disney kill Marvel?“: Dis also owns Dante & Randal, and didn’t “kill” them. Everything’s fine l’il shaver. Think pussy.
And, for the most likely comics-related joke to come out of Kevin Smith’s mouth:
“Who was/is your favorite Robin of all time?” Wait for it… I’m a total Dick-lover. There, I said it.

Still utterly mystified by the appeal of Smith. Sounds like any generic loudmouth you’d hear down at the comic shop.

Ugh, Kevin Smith is such a smug douchebag.

Maybe if he spent 24 hours writing instead of Twittering, he’d be able to make some deadlines.

his podcast with scott mosier (smodcast) is almost always funny, the exception being when his wife co-hosts. when she’s not, there’s not one that hasn’t had me in tears laughing.
