You know, after ten years working in the corporate world, the part at the beginning (where Smith gets called in repeatedly to deliver his rant about the script sucking) makes a whole lot more sense to me. So often, it happens that you get an ill-conceived project that should have been deep-sixed early on, but for whatever reason it wasn't, and now nobody is willing to stick his/her neck out and say, "Man, this thing is just unworkable. We have to kill it and start over." It's an "emperor has no clothes" situation. Nobody's willing to take the risk of stepping up to say "This has to end," because if you do that and no one backs you up, you won't accomplish anything and you'll nark off whatever bigwig is pushing the project. In that situation, when you get a guy with some credibility who's willing to say out loud that the emperor has no clothes, it's exactly what you need. You get him to say it for you, and then it's safe to agree with him.

Those were some truly idiotic demands from Peters. That’s like saying “I want you to write a Batman script, BUT.... he doesn’t wear the batsuit, he doesn’t drive the batmobile, and he doesn’t fight anyone, including the villain.”

If you pay attention to Batman '89 it is basically exactly along those lines. Batman just straight up murders his way through Batman '89, there's a scene where Batman brings Vicki Vale to his cave and then boinks her, it basically makes no sense that Joker kills Batman's parents... the only reason it really works is that Batman is closer to Jon Peters' ridiculous mental image of 'cool' than Superman is. In short, we're lucky that Joker didn't have a giant spider and a gay R2D2 sidekick...

I saw the clip being passed around on Twitter. During it, my reaction was close to Smith’s reaction to “The Wild Wild West.” At the start, all I could think about is how of a piece of shit that was. I saw the Nic Cage Superman and thought,”Well, it made sense for what they were going for.” Then, I stopped and backed up the video. As I rewatched that particular part, all I could say was “No way!” before laughing my ass off. Jon Peters finally got what he had been bugging WB about and it took 25 years.

Just coming back here after seeing Licorice Pizza and Bardely Cooper as Jon Peters shows up. Nearly lost my shit when he says to Gary in the film "You and me, we're from the streets." Never thought I'd see a reference to this story in a film, props to PTA for the deep cut reference!

"In hollywood you just kinda fail upwards " perfectly describes kevin smiths career

I just bought Superman: Doomsday at the local Dollar Tree, and I laughed my ass off at the part where Kevin is one of the bystanders on the street, saying "Like we.needed him to take care of a giant spider. Lame." I love that they threw that in there.

Thank god Kevin didn't die from his heart attack. It would've been so tragic. Really great that he changed his life around, losing weight and keeping his health a first priority.

I've watched Kevin tell this story whenever I've needed a laugh so many times over the years. So many times now that whenever I see a movie with a giant spider in it, I just automatically assume it was produced by Jon Peters. Lord of the Rings trilogy? Peters. Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal? Peters. That nightmare I had that one time? Peters. And then it got crazier...I saw The Main Event on TV and couldn't believe that Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand were fighting a giant spider at the end. Then I looked at my DVD of Clue and one of the alternate endings had a giant spider as the real killer! Spiders and Peters, Peters and spiders. Spider-Man: No Way Home....multiple Peters. I need to see a psychiatrist.
