The discreet charm of Kevin Smith

My list of why Smiths' films are popular ('cause I like making lists of things)

1. His films are funny
2. His films are also dramatic without sucking out the fun
3. His characters talk more like real people than in most films, even if the actors don't deliver them convincingly
4. His films are, mostly, continuous, with many of the same characters popping up, and people like familiarity
5. Like Tarantino, he makes movies that he'd like to see. He doesn't care about them being important, or socially relavant, or groundbreaking, he just wants to make good movies

... and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You can't eat filet mignon all the time, once and a while it's good to have a hamburger.
