If there’s one strength that Kevin Smith has as a filmmaker it is his sense of humour and the ability to tell stories. You can see evidence of this in an even more pure form whenever he does spoken word engagements, and as captured on the original An Evening With Kevin Smith DVD. Being a bit of an outsider within the Hollywood system has given him some great stories about the egos and oddities in the movie world. I almost wish he would just quit directing movies and host his own talk show instead. Anyways, some may know that over the past couple years he also did a few more spoken word engagements at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto and the Criterion Theatre in London. Highlights from these shows will finally be released in August as An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder. I have to admit I did find the DVD artwork somewhat amusing, and as long as they cut out all the embarassing fanboy questions there are probably some pretty amusing stories captured on this 2-disc set as well. The DVD is supposed to hit stores on August 15th, which was originally a couple days before the theatrical release of Clerks 2. However, with Clerks 2 getting bumped up to a July 21st release, it is possible that this may follow suit in order to maximize its cross-marketing potential. In the meantime you can watch a Quicktime trailer for the first disc, or check out a larger version of the artwork at the link below.
