Kevin Smith on Superman and the Hollywood film development process
This clip of Kevin Smith telling a story to a group of students of his time working on a production of one of the films in the Superman franchise with producer Jon Peters is one of the best and worst stories about "the business" I've ever heard. This is kind of long (20 minutes), and personally I'm not a huge fan of Kevin Smith (and by "not a huge fan" I mean of his films, which I just never really got into, but I love his writing and his authenticity) but this is too funny and rings too damn true for me not to post it. Just hit play and go about your business as if you were listening to the radio or a podcast, although some of Smith's facial expressions and body language do add to the funny at times...
Thank for sending this over E!

He's got a podcast. It's him and his friend/producer Scott Mosier. It's called smodcast and I highly recommend it even if you aren't a kevin smith fan.
this story is why, at last year's comic con, smith sat nose against monitor to watch the preview of watchmen.
he was just so amazed that snyder got almost carte blanche on what to put on film.
the story he tells about working on a documentary w/Prince is hysterical too.
