: Kevin talking about the new movie (the fatherhood one). Wanting to start shooting around February or March.
: I dunno if this is NEWS or not, but I figured I'd report it.
I hate to say this, I mean no disrespect towards Kevin, I mean I'm sure he wants to do a "fatherhood" movie for personal reasons-being a father and what not-and if he wants to do that, let him do it.
But I still wouldn't want him to do it-I mean, come on, we all have already seen "She's Having a Baby", and that was awful(especially for a great director like John Hughes)! From what it sounds like, Kevin's new project seems just like that!
I suggest that if Kevin Smith wants to branch out into other genres, he ought to do something else-like a suspense thriller, an erotic drama, a black comedy, a tearjerker-anything but a lame-ass family comedy.
But, like I said, it's up to Kevin; even if he does decide to do "She's Having a Baby: the Next Generation", he still won't lose any credibility with me as long as he doesn't go completely lame-and I am pretty sure that
will never happen.
