When female filmmakers and filmmakers of color say "White guys can coast on mediocrity for decades in this racket, but if we don't deliver a smash hit right out of the box we're off to movie jail," Kevin Smith is exactly who they're talking about. There aren't even fumes left in the tank any more. I'm sure Smith is a nice guy and fun to be around, but instead of endlessly retreading past glories that weren't really glorious to begin with, he should just hang it up and stay home. Filmmaking resources are utterly wasted on him.
