Kevin Smith, the potty-mouthed, juvenile indie director, was given an early screening of Zack Synder’s “Watchman” and guess what? Evidently the comic-book nerd loved it. Apparently it is “fucking astounding.” During one of his many hours (drunken?) spent on the social networking site, Myspace.com, Smith posted that he had seen an early cut of Synder’s film and said that it was one of the best comic book adaptations ever, even better than, gasp…”Sin City.”
What “Clerks 2” (and all of his films, except maybe “Chasing Amy”) should have taught us is that Smith should never ever be considered an authority on anything. So this endorsement means zilch to anyone aside from brave enough to call themselves one of his fans publicly. In fact, Smith’s endorsement should have us all totally worried.
