TUSK Director Kevin Smith Talks Midnight Madness on the SModcast!

The latest episode (episode 307) of Kevin Smith's SModcast, the very venue in which the idea for TUSK was hatched and formed, features some audio from Kevin's Q&A after the Midnight Madness screening of his walrus transformation horror and a little rundown of the evening.  Check out the link to the page here, or if my understanding of embedding stuffs hasn't failed me, you should be able to listen to it directly from this very post!

Thanks to my pal J. for the tip!

TUSK Final Screening:
Fri., Sept. 12th, 3:45 PM, SCOTIABANK 1

Pics from the WORLD PREMIERE of Kevin Smith's TUSK!

I bandy about the terms 'bizarre', 'surreal', and 'downright brain-breaking' a lot on this blog, especially now that Sion Sono's work is popping up more often at Midnight Madness, but those words start to lose all meaning when describing Kevin Smith's TUSK. Instead, I'll let Ian Goring's pictures from last night's world premiere of the first-ever walrus-themed horror film to speak for themselves.




I have to say, this was one of the most hilarious and kind of frightening TIFF lines I've ever been a part of.


Justin Long looking sharp...for now.

The lovely Genesis Rodriguez poses for some shots before TUSK!

"I see dapper people!" Haley Joel Osment struts the red carpet before TUSK!



I think we can all agree that Cop Out would've been awesome with this dashing duo.

Kevin Smith does his best "I'm a director" pose.

Kevin Smith does his best "I've just been unwittingly turned into a walrus by Michael Parks" pose.

Even the press was unable to resist getting TUSK'ed!


"URK URK URK!" said the Ryerson audience, clearly delighted by TUSK.

Kevin Smith and Colin Geddes discuss following one's dreams, even if they lead to making a movie about a mutant walrus (especially so!)



Kevin and the cast take questions from the audience.

Do you ever wonder what the Ryerson theatre staff thinks when they find the room littered with beach balls, blow-up dolls, and walrus masks after a screening?

If you can identify this Midnight Madness blogger, we'll...uh, be impressed?



TUSKnanigans abound!

If you missed TUSK, you have one more chance to see it here at TIFF.  URK URK URK!

TUSK screening times:
Fri., Sept. 12th, 3:45 PM, SCOTIABANK 1

Social Media Buzz for Kevin Smith's TUSK!

It's only fitting that the indescribably weird TUSK, a movie that largely came about due to director Kevin Smith's #WalrusYes campaign on Twitter, would be so hotly discussed on social media following its premiere last night at Midnight Madness. Jonny Bunning has compiled some of the best comments about the walrus horror movie love letter to our fine country of Canada!




If you missed the screening (and your chance to get one of these sweet walrus masks) last night and still want to catch TUSK, check out one of the alternate screenings.  And please keep tweeting your thoughts about Midnight Madness!

TUSK screening times:
Sun., Sept. 7th, 9:45 PM, BLOOR HOT DOCS CINEMA
Fri., Sept. 12th, 3:45 PM, SCOTIABANK 1
