A Fire Inside

Has anyone seen this?  It's a collection of like 4 different guest lectures that Kevin did at various colleges around the country.  Its one the funniest things I've ever seen, possibly rivaling his films.

Do a search...you'll find a few threads about Kevin Smith.

This is the only relevant thread, really: http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=1389&highlight=evening+kevin+smith  No harm discussing this DVD itself, IMO.

I have the DVD.  Bought it from Mac, here, actually.  (Thanks again, Mac.)  It was probably the funniest, most enjoyable three-plus hours I've spent in a long time.  Kevin Smith is such a great talker.  Loved the story of how he met his wife, his run-ins with Burton, his touch with a possible Superman film and the problems he experienced, etc.

Oh...I didn't know this was a stand-alone DVD.


It's in DVD Talk so I should have figured. :)

Those stories are all so great and the best of the bunch, but how you forget about his talking about Prince? "Prince wears sneakers?"

Smith is just a natural storyteller. All his antedotes, and the way he tells them, just keep you riveted.

Chuckhimselfo, I was thinking the same exact thing.

Just got this...made me cry with laughter.

The people who asked him questions were fucking annoying.
"Can I suck your dick for 5 dollars?"...I mean what the hell?? Way to be creative. You get a chance to ask Kevin Smith a question and you ask him that...jeezes... :roll:

Loved the story on how he met his wife...that's sweet.

I've been interested in seeing this for a while but too lazy to get it.  I want to see if he told the same stories at all his lectures as he did when I saw him speak at my school.  I hope that I'm wrong and it was always as seemingly off-the-cuff as it was with my experience.

i bought this a while ago from a friend for 5 bucks and it's seriously one of the funniest things i've seen. the story about how he met his wife is great. also, when he calls that guy's boss, asking for his job back....classic.
