The New York Times bestseller that is profane, honest, and contains totally wise sh*t from one of America’s most original voices. That Kevin Smith? The guy who did Clerks a million years ago? Didn’t they bounce his fat ass off a plane once? What could you possibly learn from the director of Cop Out? How about this: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-three, and since then, he’s done whatever the hell he wants. He makes movies, writes comics, owns a comic book store, and has built a podcasting empire. Tough Sh*t is the dirty business that Kevin has been digesting for forty-two years and now he’s ready to put it in your hands. Kevin provides you with a blueprint for success, taking you through some big moments in his life to help you live your days in as Gretzky a fashion as you can: going where the puck is gonna be. Read all about how a zero like Smith managed to make ten movies with no discernible talent and how when he had everything he thought he’d ever want, he decided to blow up his own career.

In the first chapter, Smith writes: "It's advice; don't fight it. Either make something of the advice or simply discard it, but don't try to fight it."Tough Shit is full of little nuggets of wisdom and of personal experiences. Taking the line above into consideration, some of the book I found very i...
Listening to audiobook.This book is a group of stories that Kevin Smith tells about different parts of his life and what he has learned from these experiences. I've been a huge Kevin Smith fan from the first time that I watched Clerks many years ago. I've continued to watch the majority of his mov...
Let me start off this review by saying that I am a fan of Kevin Smith. I’ve seen all of his movies, listen to his podcast, am a regular attendant at his Hall H panel at Comic-Con every year, and even visited his comic shop, Jay and Bob’s Silent Stash, back when they had a location in Los Angeles. Wh...
I've been a fan of Kevin Smith (of Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Red State fame - just to name a few) for a long time so when I saw this book I was excited to read it. First, let me say, if you don't know Kevin Smith be prepared for swearing and some crude humor. If you are offended by that kind...
