'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
sounds like somebody needs a tax cut on income north of quarter million in dollars
I guess Kevin Smith is Chasing A-Meeting with the head of that airline company.

At least, Zach and Miri make a plane on time.
Looks like the Dogma of fat people on planes can’t be followed by Kevin Smith.
he shouldnt have eaten all those fat clerks before going to the airport
The first agent probably didn’t let him on because he saw Clerks. The second probably didn’t because he saw Clerks 2.

Maura Kelly would let Kevin Smith on her airplane. Sedated and secured in the cargo area.
Ugh, I hate him so much for just using the word Behooves.
Upvote, but I really love that word!
I hate him so much for just using the word Behooves.
Fixed it.
Whoa, apparently I didn’t fix it. Everything after “I hate him so much” was supposed to be stricken. I’m going to bed.
How do you do that That One? And how do you bold words? Or maybe I shouldn’t be asking you?
Haha, I guess I’m not the best person to ask. I learned basic html in college (That’s right, motherfuckers! College! Jealous?!), but there’s a bunch of sites that can help you out. W3schools is pretty comprehensive and easy to navigate.
The Pilot requested that Smith be removed from the plane for fear that passengers would assault him after viewing the in-flight movie ‘Cop Out’.
Good god, that is too many words. Shut up, Kevin Smith.
Can you imagine having to sit next to him on a four hour flight?
Did I ever tell you about how much I hate Jennifer Garner?
I don’t know you and just want to watch Valentine’s Day, that is how much I do not want to talk to you
asshole people’s problems.
What do you think the chance is of getting Kevin Smith to shut up? FAT chance, I’m sure.
I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again, being white is hard
These guys know what you’re talking about:
ugh. this fucking guy. i couldn’t bring myself to read the entire novel, but in scanning his note to Virgin Airlines, I came across this gem: “all I cared about was my wife’s luggage… Which was under the plane… And contained her medication. She needed to take it eight hours from her last dosage. Rather than put it in her carry-on, she put it in her bag that went under the plane. Since we were gonna be home in six hours, what did it matter?”
You can’t say 1000000 times how much you fly and follow it up by saying “I thought it’d be a good idea to trust commercial air timing with important medication. I mean, medicine is SO HEAVY, why would we put it in the carry on?”
Kevin Smith: you make me less mad at the hand model lady.
He seems like the kind of guy who would make something like that up just to get people on his side.
yeah for real, why put important medication in the checked luggage, what a LIAR lying sack of shit
Especially when you are travelling with KEVIN SMITH. And especially when you are MARRIED to Kevin Smith.
You would think they’d expect fights/delays/small seats/other random issues on every flight….
Kevin Smith how do you ever, ever think you get to play in my Medication Accessibility Game?
Man I will see your “My wife packed her medication in her checked luggage,” and raise you a “The county failed to inform me of the expiration of my free-for-childless-poor-people state insurance in October, and despite having reapplied two weeks ago, I still have no insurance and have had to stretch my multiple-times-per-day medication to once every other day, and am down to my last dose.”
I called the Whaambulance for him, but the seats weren’t big enough so they wouldn’t let him ride.
“SNAP!”

Also (ugh, this fucking guy) people don’t stare at you when they walk by because of your fat fight with Southwest. They stare at you because you are a celebrity. They stare at Kate Moss too. If I knew how to make gif’s there would be some sunglasses coming down from heaven onto a dog’s face or something right about now.
holy shit. I’m turning into the Kevin Smith of Kevin Smith’s. I’m out.
If it makes you feel any better I wholeheartedly agree with and upvoted all of your comments on this post.
I don’t know. Not to be a contrarian, but this does sound like employees of an airline being kind of dickish. While I can see both sides, essentially shutting the door on someone in view of the plane is kind of ridiculous. I’d be pissed too. Not so pissed I’d use my celebrity to whine about it, but I can get it I guess is what I’m saying.
So you’re saying you wouldn’t shut the door on Kevin Smith if given the chance?
ok, one more thing (sorry, sorry.) As someone who is not famous but does have to travel alot: yes, airlines are assholes, but people that hold planes up and make them late, especially when it’s due to choice, are also assholes. There are no winners in Bing’s philosophical quandary.
But, if what he said was true, he was less than, say, a minute late? The fact that he was in sight of the door as the attendant was closing it, and notifying the attendant that they were on the way, seems just unreasonable.
I’m trying not to let my like of Kevin Smith cloud my thinking, but if I replace anyone else with Kevin Smith, it’s a dick move all around. (TWSS?)
I completely agree that this situation seems somewhat unfortunate for him. I guess I just feel like Kevin Smith has already reached his quota of my time he’s allowed to take up with whining about bad encounters with airlines.
Also, I find it very amusing that the whole reason he got into this situation was because he was trying to avoid all this unwanted attention for his previous mishaps with airlines, and the first thing he does is run out and attract a whole lot more attention the second something new goes wrong.
He’s completely one of those famous people that calls the tabloids whenever he sets foot outside and then cries about the crushing burden of celebrity when some embarrassing picture of his vagina shows up on the Internet.
This I will agree with. Clear abuse of celebrity.
I’d just like to say that the day a picture of Kevin Smith’s vagina shows up on the internet is the day that I stop using the internet.
DSN, you’re right. The employees were probably being dicks, because airline employees are always dicks. Flyings sucks, I have never once had a decent experience flying. If I’m not sent down to the front to mail my makeup (or have to throw it away) or pulled aside for some random invasive screening, they lose my luggage or the best ever, my flight was late so I missed my unbeknownst (see what I did there, it’s like behooves) to me non-refundable transfer flight and had to shell out 600 bucks to get on a flight 12 hours later. The problem to me is not about who was right/wrong in the situation, the problem is that he think he’s famous enough that he’s above the suffering everyone who flies endures.

Kevin, it’s like you’re asking for it.

Dun .. Dun. Lets get Lennie Briscoe on this, oh wait we already did.

Of course Jason Mewes was traveling with him. I feel like Kevin Smith just runs around in jorts with Jay at his side at all times trying to hang on to the good times.
Jason Mewes is actually the one thing I have to give Smith credit for, if not for Smith Jay would be dead right now
do you guys think it would help if kevin smith just tried to lose some fucking weight?
There is no cure for reverse Peter Jackson syndrome, I guess.
Just know that if I knew how to use computers, this is where I’d make an amazing movie poster for Operation Dumbo Drop: 2 Fat 2 Furious.
Eh, I don’t see what the big deal is. He’s a customer. He went through great lengths to try and make his air travel experience as painless as possible by hiring a concierge and avoiding all the things that made his previous news-worthy(?) flight news-worthy(?). He got shafted by the Gate people. He has the right to write about his experience. What the fuck is the internet for, if not to bitch about stuff?
Shut up you guys, Kevin Smith is awesome and the airplane industry is complete shit.
“Boarding started at 11:15, and we arrived at the gate at 11:35 ”
“And you WANT me as a customer, man: I’m a first class fiend and I travel TONS. But this shit may have even put me off Virgin Atlantic, too.”
“I was concerned with getting our bags off the plane…plane sat right there at the, jetway still attached. Our bags could’ve EASILY been removed in the time that the jet remained parked at the gate”
My bad.
Still, airline companies are complete shit.
Yeah I mean I know he comes off as an asshole, but I’d be pretty pissed too if this happened I paid extra for a concierge service (them shits aren’t cheap) who’s main job was to tell me when to head to the plane and board. He wasn’t late for the plane because he was lazy, he was late because the people he paid to tell him when to get to the gate didn’t get him to the gate on time. It might be a douchey service to pay for (I mean it isn’t that hard) but he has every right to be pissed that because he placed his trust in that service (provided by the airline) a different airline employee wouldn’t let him on the plane.
.
I laughed at the wankiness of having an airline concierge when there are huge computer displays all over the airport telling you what time you need to get your arse to the boarding lounge. Surely he’s not so overweight that he can’t lift his head to read a screen?
Side note: when the fuck are there going to be designated seats for tall people on planes? Ever tried sitting in one of those economy seats when you’re six feet tall? Torture. Where is the uprising of tall people at airports?
I’m tall AND fat. I’m getting shafted at both ends. (TWSS)
They should have separate planes just for the people who feel victimized by life. That would make everyone happy.
