Looks like he's not quite out of making movies, yet. He's writing a script for a Human Centipede-esque horror film about a man in a walrus suit. He's looking at Michael Parks as the walrus enthusiast and Quentin Tarantino as the lodger put through the procedure.

Tarantino should only act for Tarantino scripts.
Though I'd love to see Michael Parks as a mad scientist.
Mostly his Red State stunt, his noted hatred / slapfight with critics for not liking his shittier movies, and most of what I heard him say on Smodcast before I got fed up and gave up.
I do love Clerks/Mallrats/Chasing Amy/Dogma/Clerks 2, etc and the animated series, but he really turned into a twit that makes shitty movies now.

He embraced pot a little too much, I think.

Nah, I don't blame pot, pot owns.

Not putting down pot, but the degree to which he embraced it.

I loved Red State, and look forward to this movie.
I will fully conceede that I'm a Kevin Smith fanboy and even loved Jersey Girl.

Red State was ok until Kevin Smith completely wussed out on the ending.

He didn't wuss out on it. He talks about it extensively in the DVD extras. The ending was supposed to be exactly what it appeared to be, but they didn't have the budget to do it.

I'm not saying he didn't intend for that ending, it's just, in my opinion, not good. It's like most horror movies. No one knows how to end a horror movie. It's almost a genre trope that they end badly.
It was a sweet, heartfelt movie that was mainly hurt by the fact that it featured ten minutes of Ben Afflek and Jennifer Lopez as a couple and came out just after Gili.

I also liked Jersey Girl.

I think Jersey Girl was better than most of his movies.
Actually, thinking this over, that's an overstatement. I liked Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy better, so I like Jersey Girl better than his less important movies.

It also didn't help that his audiences were expecting dick and fart jokes and got a rom-com.
His worst movie, by far, in my estimation is Zack and Miri Make A Porno.

note - my beef isn't with the content of red state, more how he handled selling it at Sundance
