Kevin Smith made me want to see Cop Out. That's saying something about the brillance of Kevin Smith in his ability to get you to WANT to see a piece of sh*t (his words, not mine). Prior to reading Tough Sh*t, I never wanted to see Cop Out, and this coming from the biggest fan of the man and one that owns pretty much everything he has on DVD (as well as his InAction Figures and more). A master storyteller, Smith has a way with words and Tough Sh*t is full of 'em. If you are a fan of the dude, you will know what I mean when I say that the book is a series of stories, each with a beginning, middle and end. This is basically his Q&A's (An Evening with, Evening Two, Threevening, etc....)  in print format. If you want to hear (read) a man at the top of his game telling stories that will engage and entertain you, THIS is the book to get. This book is also kind of a 'Self Help' book in that Kevin does his best to encourage other dreamers out there to pursue their own goals. What more can you ask for in a book that is funny as well as insightful? I highly recommend this as a Buy.

Along with Cop Out, I have Red State being sent to my Library. I've known about RS, it just kept slipping from my mind. The book goes into great detail about the movie and got me to finally put in my request for it.

Helena Handbag sounds amazing... Russell Brand as Jesus-zilla, are you kidding?  There.
