Silent Bob Speaks

From the award-winning screenwriter and director -- a collection of irreverent and hilarious rants on the absurdity of just about everything.In 1994, Kevin Smith debuted his low-budget film Clerks at the Sundance Film Festival. It became an instant cult classic and made Smith the top dog of the indie film world. Next he was an executive producer of the smash hit Good Will Hunting and quickly earned the title "King of Gen X Cinema" from Time magazine. He appeared on Charlie Rose, Politically Incorrect, Late Night with Conan OBrien, and currently holds a regular spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno hosting a segment entitled "Roadside Attractions." Fans of his films will instantly recognize Smith as Silent Bob -- the character with no lines. And last year Smith began writing a hilarious monthly column covering popular culture for Arena magazine.In this side-splitting rant-fest, Kevin Smith waxes rhapsodic and obnoxious on everything from his platonic infatuation with Ben Affleck to his bloodcurdling hatred of Britney Spears, from his shocking diagnosis with morbid obesity to the fatal flaws of SpiderMan -- all done in his inimitable, raunchy style.Silent Bob Speaks interweaves the best of the Arena columns with a new introduction by the author to produce Smiths first collection of bawdy, over-the-top essays, guaranteed to make his legions of fans choke on their Cheerios.

Kevin Smith Fan? You Will Love This

Kevin Smith proves himself as a very good writer once again with this collection of his blogs.

If you are a fan of the "Evening with Kevin Smith" DVD series, this is basically the same kind of thing...

A treat for Smith fans

What does it mean to have a cult following? When one speaks of directors like Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard, Martin Scorcese or Steven Spielberg, the reference is to a director that appeals to a broad audience, as opposed to one who appeals to a smaller group. This limited appeal director can be said to have a cult following, and like with regular cults, the followers are often more avid (or deluded, depending on your viewpoint)...

If You "Get" Kevin Smith, Than Get the Book

"Silent Bob Speaks" is a book that any Kevin Smith fan will appreciate. Like his movies, you have to "get" Keven Smith to appreciate "Silent Bob Speaks." Smith is the first to know that Silent Bob's humor doesn't speak to everyone, so he doesn't try to change his ways to appease the masses. Smith is happy conveying his special brand of humor uncensored for those who like it the way it comes out. I highly recommend "Silent...

Great book....

This book is laugh-out loud funny, an hilarious and irreverent look inside a filmmaker's world, one who professes love for his family, friends, his comics and films. I am a Kevin Smith fan and I admit it but I believe this book shows his best strengths lie in being a funny, acerbic written wit. I hope he writes more.
