Funny and Insightful

The following 20 minute video is Kevin Smith talking about his version of a Superman movie that he did for Warner Brothers back in 1998-1999. He talks very humorously and intelligently about the process he had to go through on writing the drafts of his script. In the end Warner Bros. turned Smith down for his version and picked up Tim Burton's version instead...but of course they turned that one down too and picked up J.J. Abrams' version in the end and that is what came to be called Superman Returns. Even with Superman Returns there are numerous versions that were "supposed" to be made and that got discarded for any number of reasons.

Kevin Smith's story of writing a script for Superman is really funny. It's also sad that movies get made this way, because movies often get made by people who don't have a fucking clue what they're making. Oh well.
