He sort of believes it and even later, years later "" jokingly"" made some suggestions to the camera like "hey Hollywood, I know you're watching, here's what I think you should do next!". He's done that more than once so it's assumed that Hollywood is taking notes from a fat drunk in Milwaukee. He's an arrogant middling critic who has terrible ideas for movies and his suggestions for script doctoring are bad and derivative too.
He directed the first two. The first one made it's money back and then some like $389 mil against a $150 budget, the sequel made way more, almost half a billion. It's not Titanic but its a hit and was popular for it's time, even with Trekkies.
Yeah they're apologizing for it all. Any time anything exploitative or sexual is brought up Mike now awkwardly goes out of his way to show disapproval, like anyone gives a shit.
My only solace in liking that blubbering asshole's movies was that I was 12 the first time I saw Clerks.
I think someone in the production did say they took the Plinkett review into account as an example of what NOT to do. Most of the marketing seemed to go out of its way to say this movie won’t be Episode 1 again. Basically deliberately slapping Lucas in the face. Some friend Katherine Kennedy is.
If either JJ Abrams or Kevin Smith called RLM to be a guest they'd cave in two seconds though just to sniff some hollywood douche's farts.
They invited Jack Quaid, Patton Oswalt and Maculay Culkin on and mostly it was a disaster. Celebs are really boring guests without any wit or charm and RLM are desperate to get as many of them on as they can.
They really are phony. I remember Mike’s Rogue One review getting bashed left and right for criticizing the movie for the same things he praised Episode VII
The worst was Max Landis. One of the creepiest looking jews on earth. One of his girlfriends accused him of being a "serial rapist" and a bunch of women came out and said the same thing. And so this weirdo kike wrote some public letter about how it was unfair to compare him to Harvey Weinstein, not because of the rapes or serpent DNA, but because "Weinstein is way more famous".
Yeah and if you watched the video, you'd see how much they hated him...
What? Go find the original thread on their reddit forum. Their fag fans are praising his appearance. No one thought that they hated him until his rape allegations came out. Then they rewrote history to make it seem like those Milwaukee fags were not sucking up to a hollywood zilch. Mike literally wanted to have him back.
