Ability to write good dialogue? Attention to character development? A sense of structure and narritive?

Man, he really ISN'T a good horror director...

i know, it is very scary that smith might make a horror movie that is actually smart. i just hope it is gory.

I'm sure I'm the only one in the world but I don't really like him all that much to begin with. He's ok but not all that. However, I think that his directing a horror film may broaden his works and I would probably watch it.

i think kevin smith can do anything well he sets his mind to.....

as long as he leaves chris rock the hell out of his movies.

chris rock is a brilliant stand up guy but he glaringly clashes with the sensibilities of the View Askew world Smith created.

maybe he can get Ben to do Phantoms II

Phantoms is such a horrid waste of film....

Problem number 1, Ben Affleck. number 2, Ben Affleck in a lead role.

Ben Affleck didn't bother me in Phantoms as much as Rose McGowan's shitty acting. Yes, she's hot. If they would have had her naked through the whole movie and cut all her dialogue, it would have been better. Naked girls don't bother me, shitty acting does.

I liked Phantoms, mostly due to liking the book and of course Mr. Peter O'Toole. Didn't think it was as bad as people say it was. I think Smith has read enough graphic novels to know what gritty is and I think his comedy is at times dark enough to transition into the horror/comedy genre but I doubt he'd even be interested in straight up horror.
