- Entertainment Weekly had it’s special Summer Double Issue (as they called it), with it “It list.” Kevin appears on page 105, listed as “It Dirt Disher.” Complete transcript is as follows:
Age: 30
Why Him?:
“Clerks” and “Dogma” director Smith was among the first filmmakers to embrace the Internet, launching viewaskew.com in 1997 to cultivate his fan base. Recently, he’s become the acid-tongued Army Arched for freaks and geeks, regularly slamming such Hollywood sacred cows as Disney, Miramax, and Director Paul Thomas Anderson (his anti-Magnolia rant is legendary). “I think people appreciate getting a peek behind the curtain,” says Smith, who takes plenty of shots at himself. “I figured they’d enjoy it more if I pulled the entire curtain down , shredded it, and burned the remnants.”
Required Web Reading:
The message boards at aint-it-cool-news.com “It reminds me that not everyone is going to like what I do.”
Career He’d Most Like To Have:
“God’s.”Closest Brush With Career Immolation:
“Do the death threats we received for ‘Dogma’ count?”
Next:
“Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” (August). “The flick’s largely a satire on how ridiculous internet culture can be.”
