In a candid conversation, the filmmaker discusses his history with Affleck and Damon, the feature he'll shoot in 2026 and wishing he'd concentrated "on being more of a "financial success" during his career.
"Mallrats," Kevin Smith's second movie, is now 30 years old. Smith talked to The Ringer's Katie Baker about how it changed his career. “[Universal Pictures chairman Tom Pollock] was like, 'This is gonna make a hundred million dollars,'” Smith says. “He was off by 98 million."
Starting up the Mallrats extended cut and wow, even the intro scenes are so different. Bizarre. I dunno. Full reactions after I finish it, I suppose. Wild. It's my favorite Kevin Smith movie forever and I'm not sure it can be improved on 😂

Doing laundry and watching one of the classic Easter movies: Mallrats.
Here's my favorite plot twist/hole I didn't discover until years later when it came out in an HD format: The magic eye poster is NOT a sailboat, despite what everyone in the movie says. See the attachment.
So maybe they were all gaslighting poor Willam and nobody could see it, or maybe the set designer couldn't find one of a sailboat and they didn't bother to change the script to match.
What did you just do?!
@Nickiquote there's a certain demographic, though, for whom the chocolate covered pretzel will forever be associated with the stink-palm. We will never eat a chocolate covered pretzel, ever 🤮
