Quotables

“I’ve porked the fuck out, man. I’m really, really fat right now. Fattest I’ve ever been. But as soon as this flick’s out, I’m taking my life back; gonna drop out of sight and drop a bunch of pounds. It’s the deal I’ve made with myself. Just gotta make it through the next two and half weeks of press and running around.”

Zack and Miri Make a Porno director Kevin Smith, on his blog.

  • Yeah, well that’s a terrific goal, because he looks a like a walking coronary. How do you let yourself go like that – what
    happens to you that you double your weight?

  • Drop out of sight and drop a couple pounds?…Do I smell a Star Jones solution to the problem? Either way, its great he wants to get healthy.

  • I didn’t realize that “Zack and Miri” is a Smith film. Now I’m totally watching it.

    Also, good for him for taking initiative.

  • I love Kevin Smith. :) Very good for him for doing something about it, too ! I’m glad at least ONE celebrity wants to be healthy – whether that means dropping weight or gaining weight. Good job, Kevin !

  • Love Kevin Smith’s work, but dude needs to lose a few, too. Like someone else said, take Raven with him. Weight loss surgery, in my opinion, isn’t always a legitimate solution. I used to work with a girl (and I thank God she got fired) who had the Lap-Band or whatever, that ate a 5 pound block of cheese every week at work, and a loaf of bread, 3 or 4 of the big bags of Doritos, and literally a gallon of soda a day. My opinion is that he needs to get up and get a little physical. A little exercise goes a long way, especially if he throws in some resistance training. Muscle burns calories just by existing. And hell, spend more time being actively physical with his wife. She’s a bit of a hottie, and that’s always a nice bit of incentive for a bit of exertion.

  • Wow, someone making a personal choice to manage their own health without the blogosphere screaming at them to do so.

  • “OMG GUYS LYKE HE’S TOTALLY NOT FAT, YOU GUYS ARE FAT!! RAAAAWWWRRR” – I’m still steamed about how defensive you guys are about Raven’s…”jelly” being called out.

  • He needs to drop some weight.. I mean he broke a goddamn toilet he’s so fat. I like the “dropping out of site” idea. What you do is hole up somewhere with a bunch of video games and speed your ass off for a few months. Then you reappear with a new wardrobe. TA DA!!

  • How does someone actually become that size? It blows my mind.
    I find his tiny little straining ankles hilarious though.
