Kevin Smith wants you to watch this graphic clip when he dies

"Academy, please use that clip when I die," he pleads in an interview with EW.

Kevin Smith wants to be remembered for his work — most notably, a nasty moment suggesting bestiality in Clerks II.

After he dies, Smith wants EW, the Academy, and film fans at large to memorialize him with a grotesque scene from his 2006 movie, the 4:30 Movie director said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Smith begins by saying that his 2011 movie Red State is so good, even his most vocal detractors would appreciate it.

"You could show this to somebody who f---ing hates me and everything I've ever done and they would be impressed by this movie," he tells EW. "This is an impressive film and I hope when I die and they're like in memoriam on the Oscars — you know I was going to say I hope they show a piece from this, but that's not true."

No, Smith has something more memorable in mind. "This is what I want them to show," he says. "EW should really hold on to this, and you have my permission to put this up. If anyone's like 'Ew, this is in poor taste that they put this up after Kevin Smith died,' [write] 'This ain't in poor taste. Kevin Smith would love this s---.'"

Smith hypothesizes that an "In Memoriam" clip for him would probably be some Silent Bob coming around a corner s---" — but he thinks that's "Bulls---!" Instead, he offers an alternative idea. "This is what I want," he says. "In Clerks II, there is a donkey show scene," he says, referring to a scene where Zak Knutson's "Sexy Stud" does unspeakable things to a donkey in a club as Jay (Jason Mewes), Silent Bob (Smith), Randal (Jeff Anderson), and Elias (Trevor Fehrman) hesitantly watch.

Smith explains the setup of the sequence. "So the whole scene is bathed in this beautiful bluish purple light that we stole from Spike Lee's movie 25th Hour — honestly, one of the most beautifully lit sets I've ever had in a movie," he recalls. "We show Zak, the sexy stud, go toward the back of the donkey and then we pan up the donkey, tastefully. And just as we're leaving Zak's crotch, you see him stick his hand into his pants and s---. And as we come up to his face he goes like this and he spits. He hocks this massive loogie into his hand and half of it goes between his two fingers into the purple light and s--- like that."

The filmmaker half-jokingly says that that single shot nicely summarizes his filmography.
"Academy, please use that clip when I die," he pleads. "That says so much about my work. That shot would not exist in a mainstream motion picture — yes, probably in some animal porn or some snuff film — but it would never exist in a movie that played in an AMC, in a multiplex, were it not for Kevin Smith."
