Kevin Smith Shares Bittersweet Video Of His Last Interaction With Stan Lee 😔

Before Marvel was Hollywood's driving cinematic force, before Iron Man gave Robert Downey Jr. his rebirth into the public eye, even before Toby Maguire suited up as Spider-Man to bring the superhero genre back into the public discourse, Stan Lee made his first of many cameo's in a much smaller movie: 1995's Mallrats directed by Kevin Smith. Since then, Smith and Lee have been good friends, which made Lee's passing earlier this year an even greater heartbreak for the director.

Friday, December 28, would have been Stan Lee's 96th birthday. A lifelong fan and recent friend, Smith couldn't let the day pass without remembering the comic-book icon by sharing a video of their last in-person meeting. The pair last crossed paths nearly a year ago at Lee's surprise 95th birthday party.


Smith told the story in his caption:

"One year ago today on his 95th birthday, I saw @therealstanleein real life for the last time. Stan's faithful body man Max invited me to a steak house in Beverly Hills for a surprise party on behalf of our beloved Mr. Lieber."



He went on:

"I asked 'Are you sure it's a good idea to throw a *surprise* party for a 95 year old?' But it truly was: as you can see in the video, Stan made it through the surprise just fine. I remember nearly not going because I had a HOLLYWOOD BABBLE-ON with @ralphgarman that night (like we do Monday for New Year's Eve; Tickets at the link in my bio). But then I said 'The Man's only gonna turn 95 once…' I'm SO glad I went, as this was the last time I'd ever see my friend and hero: two months later, I had a massive heart attack. And nine months after that, Stan would leave us for a better place where the master storytellers gather and reminisce about how their magic words changed the world. Happy Birthday, Stan! We all miss you because you hung the moon, man.

There are few bigger Marvel fans than Kevin Smith, who claims to have watched Avengers: Infinity War 48 times since its release, and had quite the emotional reaction to the trailer for this spring's Avengers: Endgame.

Twitter misses Lee right along with Smith but took solace in their caring friendship:





Stan Lee continues to influence the world through his immortal characters and stories.


As long as Kevin Smith is around, the name Stan Lee will never fade from the public memory.



RIP, Mr. Lee.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
