Let’s take a look at some of the press articles from the event along with some choice snippets. You can click the headlines below for the complete text of any article.

Macworld.com: Kevin Smith’s Expo Q&A is vulgar, obscene, and hilarious

“..While the questions he answered were almost all related to his life experience and his films, one audience member did manage to ask him a question about Apple: “What do you think about the iPad?”, to which Smith jokingly replied “the i-What?” When asked if he thought the iPad would change filmmaking in any way, Smith responded that he’s sure it will be used to kill somebody in a movie at some point, and that Steve Jobs will be displeased with this.

Other highlights include Smith being propositioned by an audience member, Smith giving words of hope–none of which I am allowed to print–to an audience member’s 14 year-old son, and learning that Smith had erotic feelings for the lead female alien character in Avatar.

Tasteless? Yes. Completely unrelated to Apple? Pretty much. Immensely entertaining and sidesplittingly funny? Absolutely.”

Even Forbes picked up on the hilarious iPad comments.

Wired: Kevin Smith Rains F-Bombs on Mac Nerds

“…Filmmaking students in the audience asked Smith what they should do to succeed as film creators after college.

“I’d make one,” he said. “Make one that everybody likes. What do you think happened? Think I was standing over a virgin holding a necronomicon? The trick is to make something everybody digs.”

However, Smith, whose mainstream movie Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, is due in theaters Feb. 26, acknowledged that the independent cinema scene has fallen on hard times. He mourned over Disney’s recent shutdown of art-house production company Miramax Films.

“I was very sad when Miramax shuttered,” he said. “It shows you the state of the business right now. Hate to throw that out to the independent filmmakers, but the market is fucked.”

Wanna see some video from the show? YouTube’s your friend. Kevin tweeted this clippage from Crunchgear which showcases around 10 minutes from the event. We particularly dig the story on Kev’s “Cop Out” directing techniques.

We’ll do ya one better, though. Scooper Brian was there with his hi-def camera and shot some footage as well. It’s all now up on YouTube in 3 chunks which will show you more than the Crunchgear video above.

Later today (Saturday), Kevin has announced that he’ll remain in San Fran for Bear SModcast, back on the schedule after his attendance was on a little shaky ground there for a while.
