Clerks 2 had a donkey-loving scene and a scene with the characters running down a long list of racial slurs for laughs.

It was the worst piece of poo poo ever released in cinemas

Nah the character was deffo underage, part of the films resolution was a villain having slept with her and so going to jail.

I haven't watched Clerks 3 or the second Jay and Silent Bob yet, but while I've definitely outgrown Kevin Smiths movies, I do admire his honesty.

When his career was on the up he made a big deal about ending that universe, then when his career stalled he didn't sit about giving bitter interviews but just went oh well then I guess I'll give people more of what they want from me.

Every Kevin Smith movie ages like pure poo poo. Five years after his movies are released everyone pretends they weren't creaming their shorts tripping over themselves to get movie tickets at the time.

Also: Kevin Smith needs to find another fuckin anecdote. Any time I've ever heard him speak on a podcast he tells the same fuckin story about the robot spider.

Damn you, harlot! Science and I know what we're doing!
Kevin Smith’s blog account of trying to keep Mewes off of heroin is actually kind of endearing, but his last couple movies have basically degenerated into “remember that time I made a movie about _________”

Touche. To be fair, though, Ben Affleck's character gets sent to prison after the "good guys" broadcast a sex tape starring him and the underage character to everyone in the mall.

yeah, rip.
clerks 3 was bafflingly incompetent. just loving terribly made on every technical level, the editing and framing especially. remember all those witty dialog scenes in clerks 1 that mostly played out in masters and had comedic timing? what if instead we cut on every line between the master and the b camera positioned at a lovely 45 degree angle? also painfully unfunny of course, but i sort of expected that going in

When I was at uni I heard a girl telling her friend about a movie she heard about called Tusk, and relayed the entire story to her friend, that she had read on Wikipedia but was too afraid to actually watch. I was like "Just watch it, I guarantee it is dumber and sillier than what you're imagining. You won't get freaked out."

I liked the early episodes when he interviewed Adam West & he mentioned at the time the DVD rights for the 60s show still weren’t nailed down so he had taken the initiative to record commentaries on his own, or having Kevin Conroy on as I learned he’s a well trained actor. Drifted away when Dark Knight Rises came out & he was losing his mind about every frame as it was a bit much, checked & it’s over 400 episodes now, many over 3 hours & he’s screaming about Loki?

My ex and I met him at a con and she wanted to get a picture (i.e., wait in the line and pay for a pic) so he proceeded to grab my phone and take like a dozen selfies of the three of us for the cost of a single photo which I don't even think was all that much (like $25?)

Anyway that's my "Jason Mewes is pretty cool" story

A Strange Aeon posted:

By Kevin Smith's own admission, it's how he tried to square off thinking he was an Open-Minded Liberal Man of the 90s yet was unable to deal with the fact that when he dated Joey Lauren Adams he got shook that she was more sexually experienced than he was, so he ended up breaking up with her.

Then he decided to make a movie based on his feelings of that experience starring her.

also it was the 90s so apparently nobody knew about bisexuality

Yeah, the core theme of Chasing Amy isn't about sexuality at all, it's about getting over your hang-ups and insecurities, and learning not to project them onto another person (especially a partner).

Apparently, it's a controversial film among the LGBTQ+ community. It does confront homophobia (admittedly, in a ham-fisted way) and promotes that you don't have to restrict yourself to a specific label. The film's intended message on sexuality is "you can be in love with a person regardless of what's in their pants".

However, it's very easy to read the message as "all any lesbian needs is a good man to 'fix' them". A more experienced writer probably would have conveyed this better, but I re-watched it a few months ago and most of it still holds up okay for a 90's film with LGBTQ+ themes.
