Director Kevin Smith gets the last laugh with his booming podcasting business.
The year 2010 did not begin quietly for voluble writer-director-übergeek Kevin Smith. The only thing that overshadowed the dreadful reviews for his action comedy Cop Out was his much-headlined booting from a flight for being too fat. "A lot of people thought I had a great sense of humor about the Southwest Airlines thing, but it was the worst moment of my life," the notoriously potty-mouthed Smith confesses. "For three days, there were thousands of news stories in which everyone felt license to write 'Kevin Smith -- comma -- the fat director.' I didn't want to get out of bed. Larry King asked me to be on, and I was like, 'I'm not fucking Octomom.

It’s been a while. Without going into detail, I had some errands that needed taken care of. Space errands. “How’s space,” you might ask? Cold, lonely, shitty TV reception - but surprisingly good bagels. Enough of that, though. You can read the mission report from Nasa. That’s not why I’m here. “Why is he here,” you might be asking yourself? (I totally set you up for that). What could possibly pull me back from the outer reaches of the heavens to join you here, once again, in the written form?
Movies. Movies, movies, movies. What in the heck are movies? Scholars maintain that they were first discovered in the early fourteenth century, when a small Latvian boy named Unter Vander-Wool stumbled and accidentally fell into a pile of celluloid...
