Though now I think about it, how great would it be if Kevin Smith’s and Ridley Scott’s sci-fi films came out at the same time. That would be quite a choice i’d have to make.

I do like Kevin Smith as an storyteller and writer, and enjoyed Clerks and Dogma. But, honestly, the guy has not grown as a director, and does not have the directorial chops to deliver a ’sci-fi epic’. He’s a master of witty dialogue and has a real flair for pop culture observations — he’s said himself on numerous occasions that he can’t direct action scenes…. that’s going to leave us with ‘Clerks in Space’ (which will at least be better than ‘Jersey Girl in Space’, although the notion of shooting Jennifer Lopez into space isn’t without a certain appeal…), which I don’t really see the point of.

Hey, maybe I’m just shallow but the notion of sitting through a movie in which fantastical space battles happen in the background while two characters ramble on about pop culture references doesn’t really appeal to me.

But he’s a good guy, and a fellow geek, so I still wish him all the best. Who know, maybe it’ll turn out great.
