    I was being sarcastic.
    As I went through post by post, I thought that was the case. Until it was three in a row, and figured it was becoming sincere. And the painkillers may be altering my thinking.

    So maybe it is funny!

    ARe you guys serious?

    I chuckled at some of the movie references, otherwise this looks worse than most Kevin Smith movies, and I haven't even thought one was okay.
    Oh I'm not going to watch it, but there were a couple funny moments in there.

    I'm a bitch when it comes to cinema comedy. I'm just saying I laughed out loud at the trailer. That's all. Do you guys do that with comedy trailers? I usually just slap my forehead with em.

    Okay I laughed a few times at the Red Band trailer. But I'm still not convinced this movie will be truly funny. So yeah, its now a rental at most.

    I just never found him funny at all.
    THANK YOU!

    Glad I'm not alone. I actually actively dislike his presence in anything.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    He's actually pulling the discrimination card. This is ridiculous, Mr. Smith sir.

    I hate the airlines, so I'm pretty sympathetic to Smith's cause, whether or not it's a publicity stunt. There was an appallingly stupid segment on Anderson Cooper last night in which he had a fat woman espousing "fat acceptance" debate a shrill skinny bitch whose basic message was, "Put the fork down, fatty." The implication here is that any issue can be treated in terms of right-versus-left, or in this case, fat-versus-skinny, when actually there's a wide range of body types. The bottom line is that the airlines make the seats too small so they can sell more tickets. And God help you if you're a westerner flying with Korean Air.

    Actually, I agree with this message, and I'm a little stout around the tum.

    Good on Southwest if it's true. You're purchasing space on a plane and if you can't fit in it, tough. If he knows this and usually purchases two tickets, he shouldn't have been flying standby in the first place. I've sat next to someone who spilled into my seat on a flight and it made for a very unpleasant experience.

    1. He fit the space.
    2. He doesn't usually purchase two tickets, but sometimes when flying Southwest, he does because the only class is coach, the tickets are dirt cheap and he likes being a recluse, because "everyone recognizes him and he doesn't like all the OMG SILENT BOB CLERKS OMG".

    The majority of the controversy now is over the fact that Southwest was lying about it.

    Kevin Smith is really not that fat. If he fit comfortably in one seat, he shouldn't have been ejected.

    But the idea that airlines need to give up space for wider seats so the obese can sit comfortably is nonsense.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    How about giving up space for wider seats so that a normal sized person can sit comfortably? The last thing an airline seat is designed for is anyone's comfort.

    They do have those. It's called business class.

    I think you're entitled to be comfortable when you fly, whether you can afford to sit in business class or not.

    I think that's why they have options. Public transportation is never fully comfortable, but I'm usually pretty comfy with airplane chairs. The seat sizes they have are sufficient for the average person. If you don't think it's enough for you, you can upgrade to a luxury seat, but such a thing is not within anyone's entitlement.

    If you can't fit into a coach airline seat, then you're fat. That's the new criterion.

    I agree with this though. I've been able to bring up both of my feet and bundle myself into a ball sideways and go to sleep. This is on Southwest.

    That really has nothing to do with whether or not you're fat, though.

    I'm not wide at all, but I am tall. Most of the flights I've been on I've had my knees propped up on the seat in front of me, because there wasn't enough room for me to put them down.

    Flying conditions blow.

    But it is. I can fit myself, with feet on the seat sideways, and still have room. If you're wider than that, sorry, fat.
