It had been a minute since I’ve seen this and they had it on Paramount+, so I guess I’m starting another Kevin Smith marathon? Maybe just the Clerks stuff this time around and not all the films. This is the first of them though and it’s as rough as a movie can be, but shows that with a solid script that has real world connections you can make something that’s both entertaining and can stand the test of time. There’s a couple usages of the F word that shock me every time I hear them, but back when this was filmed that word was dropped all the time in unpolite circles. I wonder if Mr Smith has ever commented on the usage of the words and the homophobic leaning comments in his scripts. I think he’s completely pulled away from it, though there’s still some ambiguity about the sexuality of both Jay and Silent Bob.
I don’t think I even (legally) haves access to everything he’s directed, something I want to work on, but it’s a slow process.
