- The video may seem warped at times because it has been stabilized. The original version was too shaky since I held it by hand. The battery does die at the end so you will miss the rest of his show.
Yes there is annoying laughter somewhere near me. I'm sorry about that as well. Enjoy!
"We made it pete", his voice breaks, so many feels.
Irish Musclegeek Gets me every time.
Jesus christ I teared up hardcore and I'm a 38 yr old man. I lost my best friend to a motorcycle accident he also died instantly. Soni feel his pain. It brought back flashes of all our good times we had. Ughh man peace and love to everyone who reads this.
Wow, that almost brought a tear to MY eye...
He should hire that sign language interpreter to be at every show, the interactions with her make this my favorite talk he's done.
I saw him do Smodcast and Jay and Bob get old at a live event, and him and Mewes did a bit with the interpreter there. It was definitely a highlight of the show
That sign interpreter - what a trooper! xD
31:46 I like how the woman is half way through signing "Silent Bob over here" before she realizes he's talking about her :-D
The dude is always so interesting to listen to, no matter the subject
Damn you Kevin Smith ! You killed me with the "We made it Pete" :(
Me too bro...Lost a best friend a few years back...Just glad I was watching this alone...
Kevin Smith should bring this sign language translator with him on all speaking engagements, their interactions are hilarious.
Can I be the one person to say this is actually great to watch and thank Carmen for posting it? That the "laughing woman" didn't bother me at all and the quality is actually a HELL of a lot better than most videoed shows like this?
Yes? Ok, then I will :) Thanks! :D
The laughing woman was cute, and kevin is just the best :)
No one can deny that the emotions in the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin on top of the volcano were there. It was amazing when I saw it.
There were some vaguely emotional bits in there. But since it was stretched out over twenty minutes of lightsaber-whacking, it's not quite as memorable.
***** "I HAAAATTE YOU!"
existenceisrelative Really? I seriously teared up when Obi Wan is like "YOU WERE LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!!". I LOVED the 3rd film. It wasn't perfect, but I really dug the story they were trying to tell and I thought they pulled off the emotional moments incredibly well. Whether Lucas really achieved it, or I simply give him credit because I want to like it, I really enjoyed how it truly felt like Anakin was slipping into madness. When something horrific happens, or you stay up too long and start running on fumes, you start to feel like nothing is real and everything becomes dream-like. I really felt like Anakin's slipping into his Vader persona in one night was a stroke of brilliance because I wouldn't have bought a slow transition. It really felt like they orchestrated events perfectly by having Anakin indirectly kill Windu by not helping him with Palpatine. I really bought that it was the kind of decision one could make in a split second, but that, once you think about it, peels back the layers of reality by having to come to terms with what just happened. Then he has to come to terms with the fact that his mentor, the one he thought was the ultimate good-guy is really the ultimate evil. But he's being told that evil is really good. Then he's further pushed over the edge by murdering the children, something he has already done with the Sandpeople. At that point he's just a complete nutcase and it felt earned.
Man, now I want to watch that again.
***** (Yes, Christensen included. He is a very shit actor, and it shows even on SW at times) *Fixed
yeah it was wish the story was there connecting it to everything else
you can literally see him see his memories as his eyes dart back and fourth when telling a story
"We made it, Pete" ... I can't even... #bawl
got me too man
I love Men's movies, but his real gift is speaking and telling stories. He is one of the most genuine people I've ever seen, and a truly love him for that. He's gotten me to pursue my passions on multiple occasions, just by being a regular guy, but still inspiring.
Kevin Smith is an absolute legend and he's the king of the talkers
Watching this at work was a poor choice. ;(
So much love for Kevin. He's the best.
+Superhero NewsHey! If you've spare time at work to watch youtube, then you've the spare time to create some more flavorsome content on your channel.I'm the one with the spare time to watch youtube at work ;-)
Kevin Smith starts at 4:27
11 years ago - and now we have 9+ Star Wars Movies and a Mandalorian AND a Boba Fett TV Series and much more.
Embarrassing.
“We made it Pete!” And now I’m in tears just like you Kevin
Devastated when the story cuts out half-way through
If they had just thought to edit the end of the 'cut out' out, and end on 'we were humming Star Wars songs', it would have SEEMED like that was the intended final statement, LOL...
"If it doesn't happen by 2014, then it'll never happen."
Well shit
And eight years later, he finally made it.
I'm seeing him tonight and I have never been more excited for anything in my life. I have adored this man for years and his work has shaped my sense of humor and my general outlook on life. Tonight is going to change everything for me.
That first sign language translator had better been paid gold in her weight. LOL!
R.I.P Pete
Says he has till 2014 to do Clerks III or else its never coming out. Its 2022 and we got Clerks III. HELL YEAH!
And it was horrible
Best part of the whole thing... the interpreter, Kev was having sooo much fun with her. ;)
That signer chick is so cute! Anyway, thanks so much for making this available, no matter if it's not the full thing. Unless this was filmed and released somewhere else I don't know about, this is my only chance to see and hear this. Thank you. RIP Pete King.
the big brother i never had. guy is an icon to life :)
Holy heck, those die-cast Micro Machine sets were my faves!!
The announcers reminded me of those self help psychos like Tony Robbins or w/e.
thanks so much for posting this!
Loved when the male signer walked on stage and was like "bring it on southwest"
I'd usually find someone laughing annoying, but that is a great genuine laugh.
I didn’t realize until recently how Kevin was invested in Boba Fett. Can’t wait to listen to him review The Book of Boba Fett when that comes out later this year.
Thanks for posting this, great job! Too bad about the battery, I can listen to Kevin's stories all day.
I'm pretty sure I'm in love with the ASL translator. Just saying.
This was awesome! Thank you SO very much for recording and posting this. I know if I were there, I wouldn't have wanted to take the time to record. The fact you did it for free and posted it for others who couldn't attend speaks volumes to the kind person you are. Thank you very much for this! The stuff with the Signing Translator had me rolling!! :)
"You know who's gonna get us off??? Fat Kevin Smith."
Thank you so much for giving us such charisma, Kevin. 😂😂😂
they're an easy crowd because what it's really about is love of star wars. any hardcore star wars fan would just love to sit around and here these kind of stories from anyone. there's nothing wrong with that. he's not there to make a mark as a comedian.
This is one of my favorite things I've ever watched.
Kevin Smith is a great American story teller. It follows that he would become a screenwriter. He appears to see life as a movie.
Interplay with signer is hilarious. Who but Kevin Smith?
Wow. Awesome. Kevin Smith might be the only person who is a bigger Star Wars fan than me. I have seen the first movie maybe 19 times. I was 17 when it came out in 1977.
IS THERE A PART 2!? :-O
I had those mini playsets. The jabba, darth vader, and boba fett heads that opened up into their iconic places and little figures.
I still have my AT-AT! And all my other old toys! Now I know why I love Kevin Smith!
Kevin is the same age as my cousin. Same Star Wars passion too. My cousin had every action figure, and even had the Star Wars wallpaper in his bedroom until middle school, until some kid ragged on him and he pulled it down.
I remember the X-Mas when the AT-AT was new..I got the Millennium Falcon and my brother got the AT-AT. I was so happy.
I know how you feel. Christmas 1983. The rebel snowspeeder!!!!!!!
i love hows he just fucks with the signer
9 years later, we're anticipating The Book of Boba Fett...
This is hilarious, I haven't laughed this much in a long time!
have so much respect for this man. fan boy since day 1. one of the smartest person on earth!
i've never seen any of kevin smith's videos, but i always catch his conversations and podcasts.
watch dogma and clerks and all of his films
I was in the first row, to the left of stage, right in front of the signer. She deserves a raise. What a great sport. This was the highlight of the whole weekend.
Love how no matter what the question is he ends up going into a 10 minute story
I was so into that when it ended
Cheers Carmen for posting this video! Gutted not to have the whole Q & A what what we got to see was brilliant! Thanks
It's good to see he finally lost all that weight, he was sweating buckets here, those lights must have been killer.
I still have my ATAT! So many great memories.
This is classic Kevin hilarious as always thanks Carmen also the women who keeps laughing sounds hot lol.
In what sign language school do one learn the sign for "glory hole"? oO
I've always wondered why the 'cons never have a professional camera set up to record and post videos. It's always footage from audience members.
I love the back and forth with the ASL interpreter 🤣
He didn't ruin your childhood, remember that he's just showing you something that you can watch with your kids and then fresh batch of movies all new trilogy for the new generation before I say so on and the process repeats itself. They are all different movies with unique settings and travel across tons of planets and environments and seeing other worlds in new and exciting ways. You can show your kids your old pre special edition vhs original trilogy before bringing them to see the new ones cuz they're so timeless and the physical practical fx that go hands on don't end up looking corny by future generations looking back on it cuz they had the best team with years of experience from long before they started filming a new hope. George Lucas is a man who believed in a dream and put it on film and that's what Kevin Smith is as well.
Thank you
Damnit Carmen!!! Why didnt you bring a backup camera?!?! :) I was so caught up in what he was saying. Now I will always wonder how the story ends. This will haunt me forever. Seriously though, thanks for posting this, wish i were there.
Here I am watching this...and I have no background relating to Star Wars...never seen a complete movie (started watching Episode One and got a headache never finished it)...but, but I like Kev Smith.
Now I am watching your video here, pretty much listening and laughing. But at 45:07 on this video I almost went into full cardiac arrest. I was listening and I heard, "where are you". Not too audible, sorta a whisper...I almost died I was so scared. My brain couldn't function...I figured someone was watching me watch youtube...
Turns out it must have been someone around you saying, "I am in a interview, Hello!!"
Just thought I share...thank you for the video
"Alright folks, before Kevin Smith comes out, I gotta remind you that you're supposed to cheer very loudly for Kevin Smith because he's Kevin Smith and you're all dumb sheep in this here cheerfest we've planned, so don't forget, you have to cheer LOUDLY!"
I want Kevin Smith to always have a sign language interpreter.
Funny thing, Jay and Silent Bob are basically copies of R2 and C-3PO thematically. R2 and C-3PO are copies of a pair of slaves in a Japanese movie, the Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa, which also forms the basis for most of IV: A New Hope. Toshiro Mifune was even supposed to play Obi-Wan originally, as Obi-Wan is based on his character from The Hidden Fortress, the General. Funny he goes to Japan and the reporter connects things.
Very happy to find this! I was there and it will forever be burned into my memory!
My favorite voice-actor and favorite director in one room? Serious Joygasam!!
All he had to say was "I'M RIGHT WITH YOU RED THREE". "AND RED SIX STANDING BY......"
Kevin Smith's opening monologue is like a stand up set :D
Nobody tells me to act like Silent Bob, except my wife when she tells me "Shut the fuck up." XD
I honestly don't understand the love for Boba Fett. Disregarding the EU, the ONLY thing he accomplished was falling head first into the Sarlacc Pit.
+Devilofthering He just has a cool costume and was a blank slate so people could imagine him to be whatever they wanted. Personally, I think Lucas made good with Jango Fett. I think he is a super cool character and satisfied my "I never want to see what he looks like" obstinance.
+Devilofthering he captured han solo
No, he didn't. Vader did. He simply went "Vader baby. Do me a solid? I know where they'll be."
dude, his star wars movie idea was pure gold
Just stumbled across this - The Mandalorian must be pressing some of Kevin's buttons now :D
And I'm so sorry for that signer :D That was hilarious
Thanks for posting this
23:59 - 25:45
29:34 - 30:25
38:43 - 39:35
48:35 - 49:28
Best parts right there
Thank you for putting all the parts with the sign language interpreter
Perfection man, from the sign language jokes to his stories. The Pete story hits hard, had a person drift away and die as well, always used to play video games together, now everytime a new one comes out in the series we played I get a bit misty. True stuff Kev. And many thanks for the upload!
Kevin Smith is one funny ass guy! Have enjoyed watching the dude's stuff since Clerks came out.
24:03 This is probably the funniest on-stage interaction with a signer I've ever seen 😅
this is great lol Kevin Smith is the man
Good effort! Thanks for sharing the experience for those who couldn't be there!
And now I'm crying like a baby over "We made it Pete". One of my best friends who I grew up with isn't doing too good right now and he's really sick. I'm sorry but I need to get this out...
He's the oldest of 3 brothers, and both he and his youngest brother were born with a very rare disorder, with a very long name that I have no idea how to spell.
This disorder effects the spine and brain, and it could start in the lower spine and work it's way up, or start in the brain and if it starts there, you only have about a year to live after first showing symptoms. When starting in the brain you start to forget things, and it gets progressively worse until you die. The youngest brother had this one, and unfortunately he passed away before he ever turned 20. That one was sad, seeing a friend younger than you dying and you're only 20 years old, it messed me up, and I can't even imagine what it did to his family. His poor parents didn't have any money, and the poor kid looked so bad that they had to close his casket at the funeral. He didn't even get a tombstone till his parents were able to save up enough money to buy him one.
If the disorder starts in the spine and works it's way up you get accending paralysis, along with a whole lot of other terrible symptoms, and a life expectancy of about 40 years. That's what my buddy, the oldest brother has, and he's currently 42.
It's breaking my heart seeing him the way he is now, cause now he's starting to forget things and saying things that don't make any sense. He was so inspiring, he'd go to the gym with his walker every day, every single day, and he'd use the treadmill to the best of his ability. It was so humbling to watch, and whenever I felt like I had it bad, I'd think of him and I'd instantly get myself out of the funk I was in.
God I'm really gonna miss you Johnny, when I go to see you now, and I can tell that you don’t recognize me anymore it breaks my heart. I know you don't have much time left, and I'm trying to help your family as best I can. I hope I have a "We made it, Johnny" moment in the future, like Kevin did with his friend Pete. I hope I can help your family in any way. Your poor brother feels so guilty for being born healthy, IDK what to say to him. I can barely look at your mom and dad in the eyes, I just can't imagine their pain.
Now that I'm older and I have some money put away I promise that I won't let your funeral be like your brothers. You won't have to wait for a tombstone like he did, and if you want to be buried back in Peru, we'll figure out a way to make that happen for you. I love you brother, it will not be the same without you.
Kevin Smith is such a beast!
I had really given up on KEVIN SMITH as an artist or filmmaker but he's so welcoming, entertaining and a bundle of presentable talent, you could hire him for your granny's funeral and it would be a celebration! Good on the Fatman!
Awesome 👍
"They have a sign word for glory hole!?!?!" Holy balls I cant breathe I'm laughing so hard..
thanks for uploading this dude !
Awesome, thank you. I listened to the podcast and the first thing I did after was look for video because I wanted to see the bits with the translators and you made it easy for me.
Sync this video with the 1 hour 32 minutes and 22 seconds one on the related videos xD
Jesus, that first story made me cry.
Thank you Carmen Williams, you made my Saturday night
Shut up hollering people, I want to hear Kevin not you yelling!
If it was Kenji Ohba then the View Askewniverse has its link to Super Sentai and there could be a team of cleancut young superheroes who are color coded and ethnically diverse and don't do drugs and are in excellent shape who have strange wristbands and unusual cellphones and disappear for 10 minutes at a time and always run as a group but also do volunteer work and all that wholesome stuff... Except these teens were assigned to... Leonardo, New Jersey which is driving distance from Red Bank.
Thank you. Impressive video. I can just imagine that you had an amazing time. Thanks for the contribution again.
up to 21 minutes and fun to watch, thanks
Just wanted to say thanks.
I hope that interpreter didn't get in trouble... cuz it wasn't her fault she was legit doing her job, and she handle it with so much charm
"hey, so, I'm not going to go into a long winded story like I usually do..." *Goes into a long story* lawl
What a great guy Kevin Smith is. He interveiws another true gent in WWE LEGEND Mick Foley on his radio show. 2 witty men shooting the shit it was music to my ears. Also RESPECT to KEV for helping his longtime friend & partner in crime The 1&only JASON MEWES FOR KICKING an addiction. I hope he is still fighting the good fight.
Thank You Mr. Porkins.
Kevin begins to talk at 4:00
