Face it pal, like your two main protagonists in this mess, you ain't in your twenties and your pseudo-slacker act don't cut it anymore. You're a chubby, rich, white trash, chain smoking putz with a foul-mouth and generous streak of good-luck.
Clerks II is an abomination. It's the most manipulative, cheap piece of dreck I've seen in a very long time. If the movie isn't straining to be vulgar, it's sagging under the weight of clichéd, sappy sentimentality (My god man, didn't Jersey Girl teach you anything?) The cast (and I'm not dignifying them with the term "actors") talk at each other and sometimes it looks as if they are loitering around waiting to say their next line. Or waiting for a cab, it's all the same thing.
And I think you know what a bad movie this is. A majority of your defensive, post-opening week rhetoric focuses on the eventual profits this thing will reap in DVD sales. Not one word with regards to the content of the film. At least when JG tanked, you defended the film as a genuine effort to tell a more mature story.
So grow up Smith, step away from the Internet, stop with the lame ghetto-talk on your self-serving web site (hey gang, peeps my previews here) and try to come up with something that doesn't rely on tired drug, sex and poop jokes.
By the way, you're awfully proud of that eight minute standing ovation at Canne. Dare I mention that sarcasm is finely tuned art form throughout Europe and the audience may have treated you to a prolonged example? Or maybe they were happy that it was over?
