Kevin Smith Interview
Kevin Smith sits down with some guy and discusses a variety of subjects, for approximately 45 minutes, broken up into four parts below:
NOTE: Apparently, this interview just keeps on going (which isn't surprising considering how KS is the king of gab), but the guy has only posted the first four videos so far. He says it will probably end up being 8 videos in all, so when the 2nd half of the interview is posted in its various parts, I'll post the rest! Enjoy...

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
Many people thought that the end of Khan meant the end of the franchise, especially considering Leonard Nimoy’s animosity toward the series and his notion that he was being type-cast by his portrayal of Spock. Well, that all changed when Nimoy regained his love for the character (and to some extent, because of the success of Khan), so when asked if he wanted to reprise his role for a third film even though he’d been killed off in part two, he emphatically accepted the opportunity. With the leverage he had garnered by threatening to leave the series forever, he also convinced Paramount to allow him to direct the third film. With the main thread of the story pretty much set in stone with how the previous film ended, we start with the Enterprise limping back to space dock after its battle with Khan and the Reliant. Many were taking Spock’s death hard, but none more so than Bones (Dr. Leonard McCoy for the uninitiated). He started exhibiting odd behavior, including breaking into Spock’s quarters, where Kirk finds him mumbling about Vulcan. Upon arrival at the space dock, Kirk is informed of the decommissioning of his other long time friend, the Enterprise. So not only was he trying to cope with the loss of Spock, now was losing his ship as well! The rest of the crew is sent on extended shore leave, except for Scotty who is reassigned to a new vessel, the Excelsior, which is the first in a line of ships with an experimental technology, a transwarp drive.
Kirk and the most of mainstays (except Bones who is currently sedated and Scotty who has been reassigned to another starship), Sulu, Uhura, and Chekhov are drinking for their absent friends when Kirk tells them that the Enterprise is being decommissioned. Someone knocks on the door, and Kirk goes to answer it thinking its Scotty, but to his surprise it is actually Spock’s father who demands an audience with Kirk…alone! Sarek is upset that Kirk did not follow what would have been Spock's final wishes, but Kirk is unaware of any particular request Spock would have made, and had no contact with him in the immediate moment of his death. Sarek believed Kirk would hold Spock's katra, his living spirit, but after a mind meld, Sarek does not find it. Kirk determines that if Spock knew he was going to die, he would have found a way to save it. After reviewing surveillance tapes at the time of Spock's death, they find out that it was Bones that received his katra which explained his odd behavior upon arrival back at the space dock. Kirk swears he will get Spock's body back and return him and Dr. McCoy to Vulcan so they can find peace. With this vow, Kirk attempts to get Starfleet to allow him the use of the Enterprise and to return to the Genesis planet, which now has been restricted. His request is promptly denied, so he decides to go anyway, even if he has to steal the Enterprise and end his Starfleet career. He recruits his friends, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura, to rescue Bones, who is being driven beyond his control by Spock’s katra and has been arrested for trying to charter his own vessel. After saving Bones, and thanks to the great engineering skills of Scotty, they are able to, with a small crew, steal the Enterprise and elude capture.
All the while, Kirk’s son, Daniel Marcus (Merritt Butrick) and Lt. Saavik (Robin Curtis now replacing Kirstie Ally) have hitched a ride with the USS Grissom to the Genesis planet (created in part two) and scan the planet. During these scans, they detect an unidentified life form, so they beam down to the planet’s surface to investigate. They determine that the life form is an evolved form of a microbe that was attached to Spock’s casket that landed (undamaged) on the planet’s surface and is now EMPTY! They hear a scream from the nearby forest and startled, go to investigate. They find a young Vulcan boy they conclude (DUH!) to be Spock. Saavik requests to have Spock beamed aboard, and while awaiting authorization, a Klingon war bird decloaks above the planet. Apparently, those pesky Klingons, led by Kruge (played by Reverend Jim…er, I mean Doc Brown…er, I mean Christopher Lloyd) and his most trusted officers, Maltz (John Larroquette) and Torg (Stephen Liska), have been plotting and scheming, as they always seem to do, to steal the Genesis technology for use as a weapon of mass devastation. The Klingons are primarily used as the antagonists of the story to keep Kirk and crew from finding Spock, but the best thing that came out of this movie for me is the introduction of the now-legendary Klingon warship, the “Bird of Prey”, which will be important as we head from part three to part four of the Star Trek series. Anyway, is the process of threatening the Ulysses, one of Kruge’s crew inadvertently destroys the Federation ship while trying to shoot a warning shot across her bow. Enraged, Kruge executes the incompetent crewman right there on the bridge. After detecting life signs on the planet’s surface, Kruge and a landing party beam down to the planet to pursue and capture the remaining Federation crew members.
Kirk, riding the captain’s chair of the Enterprise once again, arrives at the Genesis planet, briefly detecting the Klingon Bird of Prey before it cloaks and disappears. They hail the Ulysses with no luck, and begin to scan the surface of the planet for life signs. Meanwhile, Kruge has captured Daniel, Saavik, and Spock and has beamed back up to the Klingon ship after being notified of the presence of the Enterprise and begins stalking his prey in the cloaked Bird of Prey. Kirk and Sulu detect some unusual readings on their sensors and just as the Klingon ship decloaks to attack, the Enterprise fires two photon torpedoes at the Klingon position, both making direct contact. Unfortunately, the shots didn’t do enough to cripple the other ship and they return fire, causing significant damage to the Enterprise and setting her adrift, lifeless and defenseless. Kirk, realizing the situation, tries to bluff the Klingons into surrendering before they had a chance to scan the Enterprise and destroy her. Unfortunately, Kruge recognized that he has the upper hand and calls Kirk’s bluff, demanding he give them all the information he had on the Genesis project or risk harm to the hostages on the planet. To show that he’s not playing around, he orders his men to kill one of the hostages. The Klingon warrior chooses Saavik and is about to stab her with his weapon and David jumps in front and tries to take on the far superior fighter in the Klingon warrior. David is stabbed in the chest and dies. Upon hearing that his son is dead, Kirk surrenders to the Klingons. In classic Kirk fashion, he tricks the Klingons into beaming over to the Enterprise just as he sets the auto-destruct and he the rest of the crew beam down to the planet. Before Kruge, who is still over on the Klingon ship, realizes what Kirk has done, the Enterprise explodes and disintegrates into the planet’s atmosphere!
Kirk and the crew, now on the surface of an ever-deteriorating planet, detect life signs and head that way, hoping to rescue Saavik and Spock. Kirk taunts Kruge, trying to get him to beam them up to his ship before the planet destroys itself, but instead Kruge beams up everyone except Kirk and Spock and beams down to the planet, ready to kill or be killed. They have as epic a battle as possible considering it’s an aging William Shatner fighting Reverend frakkin’ Jim, with Kirk obviously coming out victorious by kicking Kruge off a cliff into a river of lava! Kirk tricks one of the remaining Klingons on board the Bird of Prey to beam them up to the ship by impersonating Doc Brown, I mean Kruge, and upon arrival, takes control of the ship. Once Scotty figures out how to control operate the foreign vessel, they plot a course to the Vulcan home planet where Sarak and Uhura greet them. They are all taken to a ceremony where a Vulcan priestess reunites Spock with his katra, making him whole again and relieving Bones of the heavy burden. Spock, still trying to piece together his memories, recognized Kirk and says, “Jim. Your name... is Jim." and Kirk smiles.
This film is quite literally a rebirth of the franchise with the infusion of passion that was once lost from its director and co-star, and is a decent bridge between Wrath of Khan, which was the ultimate battle of wits between two legendary adversaries, and The Voyage Home, which was ultimately a buddy adventure flick teaming up two old friends relearning their relationship one step at a time. Obviously, this film was doomed to failure from a fan’s perspective by following and trying to live up to the best film of original cast films (I’ll explain this in more detail later), and making Reverend Jim the main villain was a curious choice, but I think for a directorial debut, Nimoy pulls it off well especially if you compare it to Shatner’s awful first attempt at directing is later in the series.

Fanboys (2009)
As some of you may be aware, the original version of Fanboys revolved around a group of four friends who happen to be lifelong Star Wars fanboys, one of which has terminal cancer and won’t make it to the premiere of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. With this, they decide to roadtrip to Skywalker Ranch, break in, and watch an early version of the film. In traditional Hollywood fashion, The Weinsteins thought the whole cancer element of the story wouldn’t sell, shelved the movie for a couple of years, and decided they were going to rip this part out and just make it about these geeks that think it’d be cool to break into the Star Wars Mecca that is Skywalker Ranch just because. Well, the true Star Wars fanboys revolted in the only way they knew how, with online rants on blogs and online petitions, of which I signed many! The crazy as hell Weinsteins relented and decided to keep the film as is, well with the exception of some additional reshoots thanks to an INCREASE in budget. George Lucas himself, for the first time that I’m aware, gave his stamp of approval for a non-Star Wars film to use actual sound effects and score elements as well as many props from the films. This added an element of realism to the film that made it that more effective in bringing me, as a fan, back to the excitement and anticipation that was the years, months, days and even hours leading up to what should have been one of the greatest moments of my life. There were moments in the film that were so great that they actually gave me the chills and made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, such as the scenes at the end where the gang (well, most of it), after camping out the night before in front of the theater, are sitting in their seats along with the rest of the rabid Star Wars fanboys, most in full costume ranging from the commonplace Princess Leias to the less common Tuscan Raiders and Imperial Guards, as the famous Twentieth Century Fox logo and theme song come to the big screen. It was this moment that was captured perfectly, showing the pure joy on the theater occupants’ faces that gave me chills as I reflected back on having that same look on my face and emotion flowing as the same logo and theme song appeared on the screen and I knew I was about to witness a new Star Wars film. Ultimately, Phantom Menace became a huge letdown, but that didn’t matter at the time. I actually watched it three or four times in the theater that same day because my friends and I had waited in line overnight weeks before to pre-order tickets so we got tickets to multiple shows throughout the day. We all just assumed it was going to be awesome. I mean, it was Star Wars for crying out loud. WHO KNEW!?!?!?
Anyway, back to Fanboys…The film was a mixed bag in my opinion. Like I mentioned, there were moments of perfection as a fanboy myself that allowed me to relive the great moments in my own life that led up the release of the film, the great use of terminology, sound effects, and props that show that the director and writers were true fanboys as well, all of the cool cameos and of course Kristen Bell in Slave Leia garb! However, there were some ridiculously stupid moments as well, like Ethan Suplee as Harry Knowles and Seth Rogen as a Trekkie. You’ll understand what I’m talking about if you see this so I’ll leave it at that. The scenes involving these actors, both who I normally like, just seemed out of place in the context of the film. The problem I had with Rogen was that he just seemed like Seth Rogen with prosthetics to make him look like a geeky Trekkie. I think it would have been much better to get someone that already looked the part to play that role, but I’m nitpicking at this point. Speaking of cameos, there were some great ones but I won’t spoil them for you because they were good and I want you to get the same spoiler free reactions that I did. In conclusion, it was an average buddy movie made better by all the Star Wars and Star Trek references, so it gets a 6.5/10 from me and a ‘Recommended’ for those of you that are either admitted or closet fanboys of either the Star Wars or Star Trek franchises.
