andyfilm_1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 He was awesome! He gave hugs to nearly everybody like a long lost friend! Really made your brief time with him an experience you'll never forget! :) Yes, please bring him back SM! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred_heart Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Kevin was amazing! Only saw him for an Auto on Sunday but I really felt touched by him. despite the queue being giant and pretty much having 6 crew members around him telling him to hurry up he still personalised and chatted (just a lot quicker than he had been) and didn't make you feel rushed. Moreover i believe he got through all those waiting. The Sunday podcast was awesome too - funny and again he snuck in so many extra questions despite being told off. I'd definitely get a diamond for him next year and suggest anyone else who is interested to as there were a few teary faces when it looked like he wouldn't get past VQ 150. also the Po Zu stall were saying they offered him a pair of shoes which he was super excited about but insisted on taking them after general sale to avoid someone not being able to buy a pair and missing out - that is a gentleman!

GoldenGrego Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I was batch SEVEN yet even still by then he was still enthusiastic and greeting everyone nicely! We got an awesome picture and he gave me a CRUSHING hug after 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelbigmartin Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Kevin is an absolute hero of mine, and he went beyond any expectation I may have. When we went up for the photo he held out his arms for a hug, like is said above, like an old friend. He was awesome and I want to thank SM for allowing me this experience.

HeartDT Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 great for those that got to see him but could have had more balance and met a few more fans I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldierspoon Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Really happy I got the chance to meet him, but he was so busy during the weekend. I almost thought I wouldn't get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvaNemesis Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 He was really very nice, very down to earth, friendly and genuinely pleasant. I really enjoyed meeting him and as someone else said, high fiving everyone at the photo session. It's people like Kevin that more than make up for those guests who really can't be bothered.

lomax Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 My favourite guest of all. I understand some were annoyed at not getting the chance to meet him but for those that did we got more than our money's worth. So kind and caring giving everybody a personal experience even when the crew were trying to rush him. I really suggest if he comes again people get a diamond pass. It's worth it and you won't regret it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllRedDan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Kevin was the perfect guest! Even though I spent all weekend and still didn't get his autograph, it didn't matter as the experience at the photoshoot was something I will never forget. The shoot was running behind. Staff rushing us through as quick as possible. But he still took his time to shake my hand and give me a very welcoming greeting. Said how great I looked and then give me a double high fived as I walked away. That short experience with him was just fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky50 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Terrific guest had time for everyone no matter what time of the day it was. I managed to a quick chat with him when he first arrived on Saturday morning and he signed "To Lee I love you so much" KS which we both laughed at, then later in the day at the photo shoot he still remembered me and I ended with a hug and a double high five. I've always loved his movies both as a director & actor having now met in person I'm so happy that one of my screen heroes is such a wonderful person in real life.

Sinistersam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Got to say one of my favourite guests so far, he was really nice and friendly with everyone on Sunday, had a fantastic time meeting him, I hope he'll come again, such an awesome guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobbin11 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Loved him as a director and actor since I first watched Clerks many years ago. Meeting him was awesome, so friendly. Shook my hand, posed, I gave a thumbs up, he commented on the "great thumb action", double hi-five and a "thanks man". No rushing, even though it was near the end of the shoot and Edge was standing waiting for his to start. So happy even though I have a massive cheesy fan-boy smile in the photo, still my favourite.

Kevkernow Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Brilliant guest and hope he will come again. Chatted and entertained while getting autograph and photo. Still can't believe it was last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarioVl Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 His movies, his writings, his talks, his random Internet posts... everything Kevin does resonates with me in a way that no other artist can compare. Probably because, at the core, he's one of us - a total nerd with the luck and talent to cross over to the other side. I've been lucky enough to be at one of his talks, and a comic panel he moderated, in another US event. But meeting him in person was my dream. So when he was announced I jumped at the chance - proud owner of Diamond Pass number 5! (and my friend got 37, how awesome is that?) I won't reiterate how great he was at the photoshoot or the talk. I do want to add that, despite feeling the pressure because he had to go through so many people, not only I got a fantastic personalized auto on my Clerks & Amy screenplay book, I also got to tell him how important his work is to me, how it taught me that it was OK to be a geek, and how much better my life is since. His answer was the best possible one: "That's what fuels me." You can tell he does love his fans in a very real way. Thank you thank you thank you Showmasters for giving us the chance to meet him!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posey1234 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 I loved how b4 the photo shoot he went outside the booth and said hello to everyone hope he comes back again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeld Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Gutted i didn't meet him. If Showmasters are reading this, please bring him back next year. He seems so nice and I guess everyone else seems to agree. His films are great and I love his podcasts and stories, especially the David Addison Bruce Willis Cop Out video, watch it if you haven't. If he comes next year I'll definitely straight away buy a photo shoot and maybe a diamond pass. I am glad that it seems he is a great guy in real life, like he comes across on his videos, can't wait for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which he starts shooting in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 After being too late to upgrade to diamond, I held little hope for the personalized autograph my brother had asked for. (He's a director, and Kevin Smith is very much his inspiration.) But even though he'd been told no personalisations, Kevin nonetheless did so, and for that he has my utmost respect and gratitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
