Filmmaker Kevin Smith and wife renew vows in surprise Vegas ceremony
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Silent Bob has spoken up and said “I do” — for the second time.
Filmmaker Kevin Smith, who often casts himself as the verbally challenged stoner in his raunchy comedies, renewed his wedding vows Monday in a surprise ceremony arranged by his wife as a birthday present.
Smith turned 34 while visiting Las Vegas to shoot one of his regular Roadside Attraction comedy segments for The Tonight Show, and found himself at the city’s Little White Chapel for some unexpected nuptials.
The first time Smith married his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, was in April 1999.
The writer-director broke the news about his remarriage to fans Wednesday on his website ViewAskew.com.
“What do you give the man who has everything? For his birthday? You give him a wedding. That’s right — I’m getting married. Again. To the same chick. In Vegas,” Smith wrote. “I’ve been out in Sin City since (last) Wednesday, spending my days writing and my nights gambling with Schwalbach. ... The whole thing was a total surprise set up by my one, true love.”
Schwalbach, a former USA Today reporter, was featured in 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as part of a team of sexy, leather-clad cat burglars.
Smith, a famous comic-book fan, also photographed her for Playboy magazine while she posed nude with a Superman look-alike.
About 20 of their family and friends flew in for the festivities.
Among the guests were his five-year-old daughter Harley, his producing partner, Scott Mosier, and his longtime pal Jason Mewes, who plays Silent Bob’s chatty, foulmouthed “hetero life-mate” Jay.

Sorry, Huck, but who cares?

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

That was mean.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

But I'm not sure this required a new thread.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

All the other threads were really, really long. I swear I did a search. I just wanted to point out how icky it was that he did that thing that I bolded.

― Huck, Thursday, 5 August 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah man, making your wife pose with a Superman lookalike is WRONGO.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Shame on you, Huck.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

What about the pictures do you think turns on KS more, the Superman lookalike or his nude wife?

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Shame on YOU.

― Huck, Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Shame shame shame, shame...of fools.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

What if KS himself dressed up as Superman to pose with his nude wife?
100 bucks says he's already done this...

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Superman lookalike

As opposed to the REAL Superman?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

He's probably dressed up as Daredevil.

Just to keep all my newswire asshattery under one thread:
Spanish-language reality TV show offers immigration services as prize
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Spanish-language reality TV show is offering contestants an unusual prize: the services of immigration lawyers to guide them toward a green card for U.S. residency.
Gana la Verde (Win the Green) began airing daily last month on KRCA-TV Channel 62 in Los Angeles. Owner Liberman Broadcasting also airs the program on its San Diego, Houston and Dallas stations.
“People say that our show is like Fear Factor, but it’s different because the climax of the show involves working,” production manager Adrian Vallarino told the Los Angeles Times.
The show’s winner receives a year’s worth of help from lawyers to expedite the residency process, the Times reported Wednesday. There’s no guarantee of a green card.
Contestants have performed stunts including gulping down live tequila worms, trapping a butter-drenched pig and jumping between two speeding 18-wheelers.
A U.S. immigration official warned against undue optimism for contestants.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to comment on the premise of a television show except to say that they are holding out false hope to people,” said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, adding that it “sounds very much like exploitation.”
The show has consistently reached an average of one million Hispanic households and last week was No. 2 among Hispanic viewers aged 18 to 49.
“If it’s true what they say, that they are helping people get their papers in order, I think that’s great,” said Luis Sanchez, 24, of Los Angeles.
“I don’t think the show can hurt anyone .... I don’t think the immigration service is going to go after anyone because they are on the show.”
Lawyer Richard Sherman, representing Liberman Broadcasting, said contestants are made aware of the risks.
“If you’re illegal, it probably would be better not to be on anybody’s radar screen,” Sherman said.
“It’s possible there is some risk of that. But I don’t think it’s going to catch the attention of (the U.S. Department of) Homeland Security. They have other things to do now.”
Many of the contestants have student or work visas or have applied to become residents.

I can't believe people still think this twat is an auteur.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you talking about KS or me, Gear?

― Huck, Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

You heard me the first time.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahahaha!

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

What is Cahiers Du Cinema's position on the issue of Horace Mann as all-controlling auteur?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to know.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Huck, when you finally learn how to frame a 2.35 to 1 shot, then come talk to me.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you still actually calling him Horace? It's 2004, you dolt.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I kid, I kid, you're a great guy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

He will always be Horace.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

but I admire your bold use of the word "dolt". It is 2004, after all.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Who is this imposter?

HBO producing series on polygamous family, stars Bill Paxton, Chloe Sevigny
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Think Tony Soprano, but without all the violence or swearing — and with a wife who doesn’t care if he sleeps with other women.
That’s the star of HBO’s new original drama series, the Tom Hanks-produced Big Love, about a polygamous, fictional Utah family living in the present day.
After viewing a pilot, the cable channel announced this week it had green-lit the production of 10 episodes, starring Bill Paxton and Chloe Sevigny.
HBO has won critical acclaim with original series like The Sopranos, Sex and the City and Six Feet Under dominating the Emmys this year with 124 nominations.
Whether Big Love will follow that tradition remains to be seen, but it will be closely watched in Utah, which still carries some stigma for its polygamous history.
Polygamy is among the teachings of Mormon church founder Joseph Smith. But the practice was abandoned by the church more than a century ago as the territory sought statehood. The Utah Constitution bans it and the mainstream Mormon church now excommunicates those who advocate it.
But it’s believed that tens of thousands in Utah continue the practice, including the well-documented, present-day polygamists in the border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.
Many remaining polygamists describe themselves as fundamentalist Mormons, living ultra-religious lives in small, secretive sects in the West.
HBO spokeswoman Mara Mikialian said she hadn’t seen the pilot, so she couldn’t provide many specifics about the show. She said the family would not be Mormon, and the show would be shot in California — not Utah. It’s scheduled to premiere in 2005.
Rowenna Erickson, co-founder of the anti-polygamy group Tapestry Against Polygamy, said she always appreciates discourse on the issue, but wasn’t sure how it would be framed in the show.
“We’re kind of wondering who their contact people are to give them the information,” she said.

Huck, I for one, think K. Smith's baffling act of creepiness deserved its own thread.

You even missed an element!
