"After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack," Smith tweeted. "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!"

"After the first show, I felt kinda nauseous. I threw up a little but it didn’t seem to help. Then I started sweating buckets and my chest felt heavy. Turns out I had a massive heart attack," Smith wrote.

If this isn't a sign for every fat person to lose weight, I don't know what is.

He's lost a good amount of weight over the years.

you are aware that fat people are not the only ones at risk for heart attack?
Posted on 2/26/18 at 8:42 am to Commandeaux
It's a sign that everyone should have regular checkups.

I bet he has hypertension and didn't take meds.

That airline he ranted on twitter about making him get fat seat on plane was just helping him out in hindsight.

At least he has his priorities right

Heart disease doesn't care how fat you are

So.......is he making "decent" movies at all? I don't think I've watched anything he's done past Jersey Girl. Saw bits of Clerks 2 but turned that off quickly.

Nothing worth looking at, IMHO.
I didn't care for Jersey Girl. I liked Clerks 2, but one would have to be a hardcore Viewaskewniverse junkie to enjoy it (or Jay and Bob Strike Back, for that matter).
For the record, Silent Bob has made 3 great movies - Clerks, Chasing Amy and Dogma. Mallrats and J&SBSB are fun, but not truly great films. The rest are "meh" or worse (and I'm a huge fan.)

I thought Red State was pretty good. Could have been better, but still good.
Posted on 2/26/18 at 9:34 am to Ace Midnight
I was a huge fan back in the day, saw Dogma and J&SBSB in the theaters, and to this day I can watch the first Evening with Kevin Smith over and over. He's a great story teller. Just something about him just got old with me and I haven't bothered since.

Mallrats and J&SBSB
Posted on 2/26/18 at 9:37 am to King George
I watched the shite out of Mallrats when I first discovered it, but it got boring really quick. Jason Lee is really the only redeeming thing about that movie.

Better than most (as you seem to hint at).
But I’ll forever thank him for giving us Clerks. Love that movie so much.

His early films don't hold up that well (for me anyway). Clerks and Mallrats are still entertaining and interesting as early works of someone new to the business.
Chasing Amy and Dogma he's trying a little too hard for my taste.
Out of his later stuff, Red State and Jersey Girl were better than advertised. Tusk was truly crazy and terrifying (I won't watch it again.)
As an actor, he's a blast to watch. I thought that he did great in Catch and Release. I wish he was cast in more films.
In person, he's entertaining as hell. If you have a chance to see him perform live, go.
