I am a dazzling large fan of Kevin Smith. I listen to his and Scott Mosier’s Free Podcast (called Smodcast) fairly regularly. I hold the other Q&A DVDs, and I have really enjoyed most of his movies.

When I got “Threevening,” I was expecting that it would be a puny bit more “manufactured” for DVD than the other DVDs solely based on the fact that it is the third installment and, obviously, now it is more of a money-making venture than the first Q&A DVD that paid off nicely. The first and arguably second DVDs seemed to be remarkable more organic in the sense that the filming was of Smith doing a just Q&A format, actually answering questions (though, in a long and winding map) and conducting the events not to gain, market, and sell a DVD, but to actually retort peoples’ questions.
When you sight “Threevening” it is gorgeous apparent that the events were organized (staged? ) for the sole purpose of maximizing the profitability of DVD sales and not to genuinely respond fans’ questions. It’s very easy to characterize a group of straight-to-DVD production company executives sitting in a room watching and re-watching the first two DVDs so that they can re-create in “Threevening” what made the first two DVDs sell so well and then give Smith a bullet-point list of things he needs to do during the demonstrate as per his contract with the DVD filming and production company. If the implied obviousness isn’t enough, Smith makes a few references to the “DVD [being filmed]” in the DVD itself.

Also, instead of answering questions, he unbiased seems to recite a prepared stand-up act (though, tranquil laughable) regardless of the participants’ put a question to. Of course, he adapts the very beginning and very ruin of the 10 limited stand-up bit to portray relieve to the request, but again, as I said, it’s determined that this is impartial a staged attempt to acquire another superior Q&A DVD in an easy format.
Finally, many (not all, but many) of the stories he tells in the Q&A are nearly verbatim from past Smodcasts or in his Stout book “Soundless Bob Speaks,” such as the “Shecky” memoir and the “Anal Fissures” fable. There are some elements that he didn’t hide in the Smodcast version of the sage, but all the comical parts are generally there. There are novel stories in “Threevening,” but if you have listened to the free-to-download Smodcasts, watching (and buying) “Threevening” makes you feel kind of gypped given that this old/free material dominates anything original.
With all this said, I composed consider Smith is very comic, and given that “Threevening” and the other Q&A DVDs are extremely long and captivating, and calm only cost about $14 shipped, this is a solid DVD and worth purchasing if you’re a Smith fan.
If you aren’t a mammoth Kevin Smith fan but want to check him out, I would initiate with the earlier “Evening with Kevin Smith” DVDs and then recede on to this one. You won’t be sorry.
I am probably the world’s biggest Kevin Smith fan. I hold everything he has released on DVD or in print. Given that, it is with a heavy heart that I say this one is not as favorable as the two previous incarnations. It’s beneficial, especially if you haven’t read his books or listened to his smodcast. For the diehard, though, there is precious miniature modern material.
One of the things that made his previous “Evening With…” discs so incredible was seeing his interactions with the crowd — beyond unprejudiced the regular Q and A, such as dealing with hecklers, making phone calls to bosses, etc. There’s none of this. No particularly though-provoking questioners, and not considerable (in 5 hours) in the procedure of movie making anecdotes — most of the edifying stuff comes in the “special features” on disc 2. There’s plenty of “TMI” (too powerful information) moments, so be warned. It’s a decent disc, but if you had to grasp, I’d go for Evening 1 and 2, in that order.
