Fans are freaking out over posthumous cameos in 'The Flash,' but ThatKevinSmith tell us the controversy is silly. 'I don't know any actor who'd be like, 'Don't use my image when I'm dead.' When I'm fucking dead, you could stick me in fucking porn, dude!'

As much as I consider myself something of a filmmaker, I was a member of the audience first. And that, to me, remains the most important aspect of my relationship with cinema, is not being the guy that makes the stuff, but being the guy that loves this stuff.

Just don’t call it a fucking spider.
Some people have been asking me about that. I don’t know Nic Cage. And if I’m ever gonna reach out to Nic Cage, it’s gonna be like, “Yo, be in theSo you’re saving that favor for something that actually matters?] I’m not gonna call in that favor and to be like, you want to read the Superman part at the movie theater? I’ll have Jason Mewes do it, and it’ll work just as well.
