Kevin Smith Is Alive!

Hey, remember Kevin Smith? If you do, I’m assuming you didn’t get laid much in high school. But Kevin’s movies gave us hope, not particularly because of anything in them, just that if that fat nerd could get Joey Lauren Adams to sleep with him when she was still hot, then we really could accomplish anything. Well, Kevin had a heart attack between shows for his podcast Hollywood Babble-On last night, but thankfully he’s okay.

After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground! pic.twitter.com/M5gSnW9E5h

Kevin’s got an episode of The Flash coming up later this year, but for the moment it seems like all of Hollywood is hoping he gets better and sending him well-wishes on Twitter.

Is Finn Wolfhard even old enough to watch R-rated movies? He’s like 12 or something, right? I wonder if knows you can change your embarrassing Twitter handle once you become famous.

OMG PAL! Glad you’re still kicking!!!! Oy!

Hey, that’s the award-winning director of Face Them, Elizabeth Gmaz, best known as “additional voices” in my podcast when we would do dumb s**t like have Vladimir Putin cover up Christmas aliens. Every word of that sentence is true. Other than the part where people listened to my podcast.

So grateful for that doctor!! Get well, Kevin. Sending you ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!

Hey, Floriana Lima is still around, that’s nice. I’ll bet she wishes she could make a single tweet without her mentions being flooded by nerdy lesbians asking her to go back to Supergirl.

By the way, that’s Adam Goldberg the Hebrew Hammer, not the Adam Goldberg who has the show Kevin is a director on.

Beyond relieved to see this bearded face this morning. Kevin went from doing The Flash to direct The Goldbergs finale tomorrow while filming a standup special. Your super fans like me demand you recover fast and get back to doing what you do best. We adore you @ThatKevinSmith https://t.co/5lmrAWKgSv

That’s the Adam Goldberg with the show Kevin is a director on.

Kevin we don’t know each other too good but I have loved you since Clerks and I’m praying my ass off for you cause I believe in the healing power of prayer. Can you please pray with me people!? 🙏♥️ https://t.co/syB7BiQaoY

Praying for you. I will continue to. You inspired me with Clerks when I was a senior HS. I’m tagging my Lb/rb football coach who showed me the movie cause he believed in me and knew I’d be inspired. @hodge1916 🙏♥️🙏 https://t.co/syB7BiQaoY

I didn’t realize Chris Pratt was so Jesusy. That’s kind of weird. Still, he seems like a nice guy, possibly the actual nicest guy in the world. I can’t imagine Pratt doesn’t bump into him in the hospital while visiting sick kids.

We here at The Blemish hope Kevin has a speedy recovery, too. Believe it or not, I didn’t get laid a lot in high school and I watched Kevin’s films almost religiously. My best friend and I probably could have acted out all of Clerks from memory. You know, except the part where they play hockey.
