Since @smodcastlecinemas is nearly 3000 miles away, I saw the @deadpoolmovie at @landmarktheatressunset yesterday (where they gave me these popcorn buckets)! Holy. FUCK! Suffice to say Marvel Jesus pulls off a few minor miracles! I’ll tell you more when I post a spoiler-lite “review” of the flick on my @youtube channel later today. What a great way to start @comic_con weekend! I’m headed to #sdcc tonight, where I’ll be moderating @thesimpsons panel Saturday at noon and doing my Hall H panel on Saturday night! #KevinSmith #deadpoolandwolverine #deadpool
SCORE! I moderated @thesimpsons panel at @comic_con this morning and the legendary @mattogroening gave me a Maggie sketch, suitable for framing! Look close and you’ll see the pencils under the inks! This is an absolute treasure to the guy who stole Maggie’s shtick for his character, Silent Bob! Next I have a signing for my Secret Stash book at the @insighteditions booth, and then my Hall H panel at 7:30, after the @marvelstudios presentation. #KevinSmith #thesimpsons #comiccon2024
My Dad was not very self-expressive but he loved all things nautical. So one day, very uncharacteristically, in a fit of interior design, Dad engaged in the only arts & crafts project I ever saw him shape. On our front porch, he hung a fishing net and then dotted it with plastic crabs, rubber lobsters, real seashells and fake fish (my sister @virginia_in_vienna is pictured in front of the net in question, circa 1980). Over forty years later, when we were shooting THE 4:30 MOVIE last summer, I asked production designer Ratface if he could replicate Dad’s decorations. And for the low, low cost of fifty bucks or so, the long-dead decor with which Dad once adorned our house returned from the grave to feature in a scene starring @jasonlee and @raedratch as movie versions of my parents! I’m gonna debut the official poster for THE 4:30 MOVIE right here TOMORROW MORNING and premiere the trailer for the @saban_films release during my Hall H panel at ComicCon on Saturday night! #KevinSmith #the430movie

It’s my birthday. I was born 54 years ago. Ready for the sum total of my decades of wisdom? Your life is like a comic book. And you get to decide its value. So don’t settle for the back issue bins. Because you’re an expensive wall book, worth far more than your cover price indicates. Bag and board to protect your investment, sure – but always open up and let people in so they can see your story and get lost in your pages. Then make sure they buy something. This isn’t a library. #KevinSmith #birthday
NEPO-FUR-BABY ALERT! Mother/Daughter Lucky and Birdie are a pair of #germanshepherd dogs we adopted from a rescue center. So it was an easy yes when the extraordinary @charlienunnphotography asked me and The Girls to pose for a book supporting @wagsandwalks that’s gonna be full of familiar folks and their canine companions. But after seeing these outstanding images, I’m dragging my dogs into showbiz! I mean look at these beautiful bitches (their words, not mine): don’t they belong in commercials or on a dog food can? @petco! @pedigreeus! @purina! @proplan! I’ve got a pair of model dogs looking to break into the billion dollar business of woof-worship! And they will work for food! Many thanks to Charlie Nunn for stealing our souls! #KevinSmith #dogsofinstagram #charlienunnphotography #dogs #dogoftheday #wagsandwalks

Presenting the first poster for THE 4:30 MOVIE – my 16th film, coming to theaters this fall from @saban_films! Set in the summer of 1986, we shot this sentimental journey of a flick at @smodcastlecinemas, the movie theater in #atlantichighlands, New Jersey that I grew up going to and now co-own with my friends. Created by the talented folks at @wearebond, this first poster showcases our fresh faced foursome of (from left) @nick_v_cirillo, @reednorthrup, @austinzajur and @sienaagudong – the incredible kids who carry the picture. I love how the designers put the billing block up top in the theater marquee. My name above the title is a compromise I made in lieu of using the “A Film By” credit (which I’ve always eschewed). We’re debuting the trailer at my Hall H panel on Saturday night at @comic_con – but if you’re not going, you can see it online Monday morning! That’s when tickets go on sale for our World Premiere: it’s a big benefit for #smodcastlecinemas so you’ll be able to watch the flick in the same theater where we shot it (and since we’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, you’ll be able to write off the cost of your tickets)! #KevinSmith #the430movie
Presenting the trailer for my 16th film since 1994, entitled THE 4:30 MOVIE! It’s a personal paean to the John Hughes coming-of-age movies I grew up watching, shot in the same movie theater where I saw ‘em all as a kid! Journey through a 1986 day-in-the-life of pop culture-obsessed high schooler Brian David as he tries to take his dream girl on a movie date while skipping from theater to theater in the multiplex to sneak into flicks with his best friends. Starring @austinzajur, @sienaagudong, @nick_v_cirillo, @reednorthrup and @kenjeong, The 4:30 Movie is a not-so-secret origin story set in my hometown of #highlandsnj and neighboring #atlantichighlandsnj where @smodcastlecinemas lives! @saban_films is releasing it in theaters everywhere on SEPTEMBER 13th, but if you wanna attend the World Premiere on August 24th at @smodcastlecinemas where we filmed the flick, tickets are on sale right now at The430Movie.movie! When real life sucks, REEL life rules! #KevinSmith #The430Movie

In the 1986 of my new flick THE 4:30 MOVIE, no wrestler was bigger than MAJOR MURDER – and only the Mean Gene-ish Mad Brad Woodland could get him to talk in promos! My Babble brother @ralphgarman plays Mad Brad and the sensational @thesamrichardson is Major Murder! We debuted the trailer for the @saban_films release at my Hall H panel but you can see it for yourself on Monday morning when we put the trailer online (along with @smodcastlecinemas benefit premiere tickets) at 7amPST / 10am EST! #KevinSmith #the430movie
Thanks to main character Brian David’s brandishing of a mini tape recorder, old school #Smodcast fans have picked up on the #EmoKev references in trailer for THE 4:30 MOVIE. My new flick offers a few nods to the self-proclaimed “King of Dark Notions”, with subtle cinematic swaps – like the film’s Ponder Dock substituting for the real life Ponder Rock (nerdy eyes might recognize a copy of @officialstarlog beside him). But @austinzajur had to deliver the unvarnished, most cringe line I ever said aloud: “I’ve got a 24 karat case of love.” If you recall Smodcast episodes 223 and 224, you’ll remember @samosier nearly dying laughing at the recording of a young Kevin Smith saying that shit out loud. Now, over three decades later, composer @bearmccreary and his brother immortalized that goofy sentiment – redeemed it, even – by writing a closing credits track for 4:30 entitled “24 Karat Case of Love.” The 4:30 Movie will be in theaters everywhere on September 13th, but you can come to the World Premiere at @smodcastlecinemas on August 24th! Get tickets at The430Movie.movie! #KevinSmith #the430movie

ASTRO BLASTER AND THE BEAVER-MEN is the fake flick all the kids in 1986 wanna see in my new film THE 4:30 MOVIE – coming this fall!. @logic plays the Flash Gordon-ish hero from Earth and @baderdiedrich plays Damocles of the Beaver-Men (akin to Flash Gordon’s Hawk-Men) ! And your first chance to see them on the big screen will be at my Hall H panel on Saturday night at @comic_con next week, when we premiere the trailer! Anyone in attendance will get a first look at my new movie about sneaking around a New Jersey multiplex in the not-so-weighty 80’s! Are you already going to the @marvelstudios presentation in Hall H on Saturday? Then simply stick around to see Silent Bob speak and show you a sneak preview of the new flick! Here’s the official panel description: Kevin Smith wants to use his mouth on you at Comic-Con! As Clerks celebrates its 30th anniversary, the writer/director and pop culture loudmouth returns to Hall H with an exclusive sneak-peek at his newest flick, The 4:30 Movie! Once he’s done hawking his wares, get ready to have your Q’s elaborately A’d by a guy who loves the sound of his own voice! Attendees can also expect to get some inside dirt on the next Jay & Silent Bob movie, That 90’s Show, Smodcastle Cinemas, Secret Stash Press, and Chronic-Con – the inaugural IRL convention this fall devoted to all things Askew! That’s not all I’m doing in Diego during #comiccon. I’m also honored to be moderating @thesimpsons panel Saturday morning and doing a signing of my book at the @insighteditions booth! ComiCome see me if you’re in #sandiego next weekend for #sdcc! Many thanks to @thedarknatereturns for the handy schedule graphic! #KevinSmith
