Kevin Smith Regrets Talking Shit About Bruce Willis After Working Together On “Cop Out”
Yesterday we learned the sad news that 67-year-old Bruce Willis is taking a break from acting because of a diagnosis of aphasia, a condition that affects a person’s cognitive abilities to communicate, whether that be speaking, writing, or understanding language. Plenty of people have reached out with their thoughts on the matter, the majority of them being to celebrate the work Bruce Willis was able to do before his health forced him to step back from a career that spanned over 4 decades. But the tone of Kevin Smith’s comments on the matter were just a little different than most. Kevin decided that now is the best time to take back what he said about working with Bruce Willis on the 2010 buddy cop box office bomb Cop Out.
Kevin Smith Says Harvey Weinstein Pulled “Good Will Hunting” Out Of Theaters Early To Mess With Robin Williams’ Money
Kevin Smith just did an interview with The Daily Beast to promote his new book, “Kevin Smith’s Secret Stash.” Now, before you click away out of overwhelming disinterest, Kevin did drop some interesting tidbits. He reveals that Harvey Weinstein pulled Good Will Hunting (1997) out of theaters early so star Robin Williams would get less money. Kevin, who was an executive producer on the film, explains that Miramax made a high-percentage first-dollar gross deal with Robin, aka a “movie-star deal.” The more money Good Will Hunting made in theaters, the bigger Robin’s split with the studio would be. So Harvey pulled the movie while it was still making big bucks and put it on video where “the split wasn’t Robin-heavy.” And I guess stars/screenwriters Matt Damon and Ben Affleck weren’t too pissed off, cuz they proceeded to work with Harvey approximately 12,000 more times.
Ben Affleck And Kevin Smith Are Friends Again
It’s a miracle! One possibly orchestrated by The Patron Saint of Snoochie Boochies (on their break from their shift at Heaven’s Quick Stop). Kevin Smith recently revealed that his relationship with his former brofriend Ben Affleck is no longer bad, like Yoga Hosers, but good, like Clerks or Mallrats.
The End (game) Is Near: Some Of The Millions Of Looks From The “Avengers: Endgame” Premiere
God bless ya if you’ve been able to keep up with all the fucking Avengers running around here these days. Just looking at the poster for the upcoming Avengers: Endgame movie takes so much concentration. I keep thinking I’m supposed to eventually see a sailboat or some shit. It’s a mess, and it gives me a throbbing, Thanos’ dick-sized migraine. But the poster isn’t nearly as much of a mess as the red carpet for last night’s premiere of Avengers: Endgame: Too Many Spidermen. Not only was every Groot, Korg and Kraglin Obfonteri from the movies there, all the Marvel universe TV characters were there too. It must have been the least exclusive guest list to hit Hollywood since the premiere of Gotti. I mean, they even let Colin Jost in!
Ben Affleck And Kevin Smith Still Aren’t Speaking To Each Other
Ben Affleck and Kevin Smith’s friendship used to be like a Jersey Mike’s club sub version of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese. A few years ago, we learned that Kevin and Ben weren’t exactly on speaking terms, and the blame was placed – by Kevin – on Jennifer Garner not liking him. Ben and Jen aren’t together anymore, but that doesn’t mean that Ben hasn’t run back into the arms of Kevin Smith.
Drake Goes Back To Degrassi In His New Video For “I’m Upset”
Canada Day came early this year! Yesterday Drake dropped the video for his latest song, “I’m Upset,” a video that has surely made any major fan of Degrassi: The Next Generation anything but upset. If Drake was looking for a good way to temporarily distract anyone who was still thinking about that messy beef with Pusha-T, this is it.
