Buddy Christ
Ever since I saw Dogma, I have been in love with Buddy Christ. We even have the bobble-head for the car. Now I know what I have to do. I need to get a costume like this for the conventions.

Randal Graves from Kevin Smith’s brilliant film Clerks has is number 92 on Empire’s Top 100 Greatest Movie Characters.Why He's On The List: Randal is the voice of countless generations - anyone who's had a shitty customer service job in their early twenties will understand his attitude, wishing they could have articulated their frustration with his artful profanity and supreme disregard for, well, anything. But the key to Randal is that he doesn't necessarily hate his job, it's just that he remembers not to care (Empire).
Also on the List:
- HAL-9000 at #99
- Freddy Krueger at #95
- Buzz Lightyeat at #94
- The Wicked Witch of the West at #90
- Princess Leia Organa at #89

Review of Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Overall Rating: 10
Zack and Miri Make a Porno is another great film written and directed by Kevin Smith. Yet again he pushed the boundaries, made us laugh and think all the while remembering the most important part, giving the audience a great experience.This movie is a beautiful, hilarious, modern romance where lifelong platonic friends look to solve their respective cash flow problems by making an adult film together. As the cameras roll, however, the duo soon realize their true feelings for each other.
The movie begins with a great set up that is swift, succinct, and sent the audience roaring with laughter from the jokes. The characters are a real and believable group of misfits that we have come to expect from Kevin’s movies. The pace is just stunning. After the movie was over, all four of us sat there waiting and wanting more.
I was amazed at how Kevin was able to take such bawdy and provocative material as pornography and actually make it thoughtful, artful, and beautiful. I also enjoyed how Zack and Miri’s transition is about them finding what they are passionate about and how a passionate person can inspire that lust for life in those around them, so true.
The ending was thoroughly satisfying wrapping up all of the loose ends brought up in the film and showing all of the characters development. Do not leave the theater when the movie concludes. After the credits they show a hilarious and touching dénouement. This film is not for the faint of heart or young audience due to the irreverent humor, nudity, and language. That said I absolutely enjoyed Zack and Miri Make a Porno it’s worth seeing multiple times in the theater and I will have to own it.
For more information: Theater or Renter October 2008
Watch The Trailer here in the P:S HQ
Don’t forget to send two friends to see it!
P.S. to answer my question from before it is Yes!

In Theater: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Yea! Another Kevin Smith Film! Definitely a theater though I am biased as a fan of his works. Kevin has a wonderful, thoughtful, irreverent sense of humor that he puts into his films which not only makes them entertaining but also insightful. Zack and Miri Make a Porno was brought out of Kevin’s fascination with the public’s obsession with pornography and so I expect this project will explore more of those types of nuances. Read Theater or Renter October for more information.Jason Mewes returns for this film which of course begs the question how naked will he be? Watch The Trailer here in the P:S HQ. Zack and Miri Make a Porno hit the theater on October 31 and I can’t wait.
Let me know what you think. Will you go to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno in the theater on October 31 or rent it? If you have seen it in the theater should I go see it and why?
