His movies lately haven’t been very good but his means of self-promotion, particularly the way that he made Red State happen, are way ahead of the Hollywood curve. I don’t think he works very well in the studio system but when he’s on his own and he’s calling his own shots he tends to really shine. He’s like Robert Rodriguez that way. Every piece of promotion for Red State that I’ve seen so far is unique and the way that he involves his fans and curious parties in general is smart. It’s going to work out well for him in the end. I think this movie will do well because of it. It’s also made on such a small budget that it can’t fail. Clerks 2 was a giant box office success because of that in spite of the usual critical dismissal of the movie in the press.

I’ve still not seen COP-OUT.

Anyway, RED STATE wasn’t really on my radar until I started catching up on Red State of the Union. Everyone who’s working on this and everyone who’s seen it seems to be so damn behind it.

How do you feel about the way he’s releasing promo material? Yesterday, for instance, he gave the rights to the second teaser poster to the highest bidding film site (proceeds going to charity).

I’m not a huge K. Smith movie fan, but I feel he could do some great things in the horror genre. The whole Phelps religous angle could be brilliant if executed right, and I really liked Dogma, but feel a darker religous satire might be better-handled by Smith. And with John Goodman in the cast, I’m already lined up.
