Kevin Smith coming to Dublin

ztoical

According to the view askew website Kevin Smith will be in Dublin on the 14th of October [I've been told this clashes with some important football game in Croker]

On a side note anyone else slightly annoyed that the map for the Dublin event is that of the UK and Northern Ireland and not the Republic? On the bigger map they have Belfast listed as Dublin.

then he should know that Belfast and Dublin are different cities. If you click on the USA map on the top left corner it takes you to a map of the UK and Northern Ireland and Belfast is marked as the location for the Dublin show.

I found it via ticketmaster.ie just searched 'kevin smith'

Basq

Very tempting but can't make it unfortunately!

waltersobchak

ah this is AWESOME!!:D:D:D

Birneybau

Come on...

Kept giving the guy the benefit of liking his earlier stuff and stuck with him through the years....

The law of diminshing returns applies..

His films have been getting worse and worse.Actually made me re-evaluate his older stuff and I dont think its all that great to be honest.
Yeah,great if you are 15 and you watch "Clerks" but I dunno...

Fcuking "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" on the other night.Steaming pile of self congratulatory fcuking sh!te...

Birneybau,

You're clearly never seen his 'Evening With' DVD's. While you may not be a fan of his movies, he's one of the most enthralling and funny speakers I've ever watched.

He has a natural comedic ability. Not to mention the ability to make a 5 - 6 hour DVD of one man talking on stage fly by, and leave you wanting more!

I'm a fan of his.. not so much his latest films.. but as a speaker, he's absolutely superb!

Ah I'd love to go see this, but the mates absolutely hate his new stuff and refuse to come with me! Might have to go it alone, it's not everyday Kevin smith is in town, the evening with kevin smith dvd's are hilarious.

I stand (well,sit on my fat @ss) corrected..

TheIrishGrover

I think his last great film was Chasing Amy but, as basquille said, he's a very funny speaker and I really hope to catch this. I can't see that video clip here in work but is it his Superman Reborn story? That''s f*cking hilarious: Really? Spicolo as superman?

mylove

This guy has the worst movies but THE BEST speaches.. definitely worth going.

TheIrishGrover

i LOVE this story he had regarding his treatment for a Superman reboot. I remember reading the script beforehand and thinking WTF? He's lost it. but here's the story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYhLIThTvk

And here's the script:

He;s one of he few directors who, as opposed to all my other favourites, works better as a person talking about his/her own personal veiws on life than they do from a filmmaking point of view. He may have hit a few road blocks lately as a filmmaker but as a person/character/personality he's one of the few left that gladly exposes Hollywood's glaring flaws and weaknesses!

Red Sleeping Beauty

I have the first "Evening with" DVD and I liked it and watched it in one sitting but I doubt I'd watch it again.

€40 (plus additional fees) is extortionate for a director that's a part time comedian. Dylan Moran was cheaper I think.

The Stg£ prices seem to be about £35 which is weird

...that would mean that we're not getting ripped off on the basis that it's Ireland.



Is he doing anything at any of the colleges ? I suppose it's probably too early if they're not back to business yet though.

Keep it to yourselves ... ... but the code for the presale is "CLERKS"

Myself and BlitzKrieg will be there somewhere in the tables in middle. There's a bunch of boards people going if you check the thread in the comics forum....anyone interested in a meet up before or after?

][cEMAN**

Was this close to buying a ticket...then stopped because I had to use the money to pay bills this month. I'd f'in' love to go to this. I do actually like his films (except jersey girl).

Theboinkmaster

Booked myself 2 tickets this morning can't wait

Saw him at comic con in 06 and all his "evening with" DVDs - well worth the €40 IMO.

Ivan

Got 4 tickets for Row 62, cant wait! Now to find 3 other people to come with!

Sounds like a plan, I'll be braving this one alone as I'm the only Kevin Smith fan I know

Not sold out yet right?

bigslick

Thanks for the code guys. Got myself some table seats. Should be great

Penn

With the presale tickets, can you chose where you sit? I think I'll be going to this on my own so I'd probably prefer a seat away in the corner somewhere

JJ

You can't exactly choose where you sit but you can choose which general section you'd like to sit if there are seats available in that section.

That'll do for me. Cheers

Christoph

Hehe, nice news I've seen all of his movies. He's one of the best directors/screenwriters. See him face to face...why not?

Penn

I'm also heading to this on my lonesome, so if anyone else wants to meet up beforehand or even just sit together, I'd be up for that

Roar

got a ticket for this yesterday in the presale (big ups to cactus col for the password!) I'm at table 104, rather freakishly right next to a friend of mine who i didn't know was going, who bought his tickets just before me!

lookign forward to it.. Kevin normally does a long stint doesn't he? like three plus hours?

although someone told me that gigs in vicar street HAVE to be over by half ten.. that's surely not true?

Nevyn

At this rate half the place could be filled with boardsies

grimm2005

Got tickets for myself and two friends today, havn't seen his evening with dvds but love his films so looking forward to this

I know, we should all wear the same t-shirt or something and look like a freaky cult

Nevyn

If ever there was a need for boards.ie badges or maybe signs

iMax

if anyone has a spare couple of tickets or can't makeit... PLEASE think of me

Check this out:

It's the London Q & A he did. Check out the handsome devil shaking his hand at 0:54. It's me!

I'll be at Vicar Street, even if I though Zack & Miri was only okay, and his three previous films were absolutely dire.

strat

Can't believe i missed this till they were sold out. Is there like only 24 seats in this place?

ztoical

They updated the map on the website so Ireland is actually there and Dublin is no longer marked as Belfast

Penn

Goddammit, mate of mine now informs me that he can go, but has no ticket. Anyone know the best place to look or what the odds are of more tickets being released for this show?

Also, why the hell do Ticketmaster make you go through the whole process of picking how many tickets you want, what section, the verification code etc if the show is already sold out?

faceman

According to Smith on Twitter this morning, there are still tickets for Dublin left?

Unless Ticketmaster are only releasing a certain number of tickets at a time.. might be more on sale closer to the date.

I'd suggest posting on his board and asking him:

I wouldn't say Kevin is aware of it.. Ticketmaster are known for doing it!

Penn

Sorry to resurrect the thread, but it seems more tickets have been made available. I just bought 2 there a few minutes ago. I don't know if its because people have cancelled orders or if they just kept a few, so I don't know how many may be left
