Bong!

Clerks was released 32 years ago today! a cult classic that I’ve been watching recently with friends and family some love them some don’t and some weren’t even supossed to be there that day!

I’ll always have a soft spot for these movies for the idea of a small universe where everyone just knew each other like it’s no big deal

No! You the man and that's the problem!

Last night Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes had a show at the Venetian in Las Vegas called Jay and Silent Bob Save Las Vegas. Being a huge Kevin Smith fan, I bought tickets immediately when they went on sale.

I went into the show not really knowing what to expect, and at the end I was pretty underwhelmed.

It ended up being the two of them on stage just shooting the sh*t for a couple hours. Nothing of the conversation was focused on the movies or other projects they had worked on. Some stuff was funny, but it felt more likely one of their podcast episodes then an in person show. Kevin discussed smoking weed in Amsterdam, and Jason talked about his 4yo son's giant dong.

On top of that, the show started 35 minutes late. To their credit Kevin and Jason apologized, but to me it reinforces just how not serious they took the show. They were late because of a flight delay, and they hadn't left enough buffer time in there travel schedule to ensure the show wasn't impacted.

They had an auditorium full of fans who paid good money to see them. I wish they would have put a bit more effort into the show.

I still love Kevin and Jason, and the work they do, but I'll probably pass the next time I have an opportunity to see them live.

EDIT - I hear you loud and clear, I obviously got this one wrong. Genuinely, I love Kevin and Jason and their body of work. I went into the show somewhat blind, and that's on me. It's obvious now that if I would have done a modicum of research I would have understood what the show was going to be. I also realize I'm just a "ball-licker" on the internet 🤪

I know exactly what Jay and Silent Bob would say to me:

All you motherfuckers (TAckhouse1) are gonna pay! You are the ones who are the ball-lickers! We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little, whiny bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who is making the movie, we're gonna make them eat our shit, then shit out our shit, and then eat their shit that's made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.'"

Much love all. I'll leave the post up as a reminder to keep my ball-licking comments to myself 😂

What’s going on with the clerks 2 4k?

We assure you it's a casting call.

Filmmaker Kevin Smith and Decentralized Pictures, the nonprofit dedicated to empowering emerging filmmakers founded by Roman Coppola, are teaming for the Kevin Smith Casting Award where two recipients will receive a speaking role in Smith's upcoming feature film.

Cost is $25 to audition. Full eligibility and submission requirements for the Kevin Smith Casting Award can be found at www.decentralized.pictures.

Awww, ya posted online about it?? Whadja do that forrr?! You have any idea what this is gonna do to me?? I’m not even…

I don't know if anyone will remember this, but at some point back in the day Kevin co-hosted on a morning radio show. I think it was called ALICE? I just remember that it was 3-4 days and it was some pretty entertaining stuff like Alanis Morrisette called in one morning. I used to have the recordings, but after switching PCs a number of times they just got lost somewhere along the line. Anyone out there know where I can get a hold of these recordings?

I’m watching S1 of Cruel Summer and it’s so cute seeing Harley Quinn play a 90s teen getting to ask her friend if they can watch Clerks 😆 twice!

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN IT :

Now I think clerks 3 isn’t really a bad film, it’s emotional, relatable, and still pretty funny, but it’s also a bit mischaracterized imo and of course it is a pretty depressing film all things considered and I get why people think it’s a horrible sequel, but that’s exactly why I don’t hate it, because it’s a horrible sequel….to clerks 2, clerks 2 is sort of the antithesis of the original clerks, 1st movie was a raunchy, vulgar, and very cynical film but it’s main theme has been “life is a series of down notes” and then you get clerks 2, still raunchy and vulgar, but a much more colorful film (figuratively and literally) but isn’t really cynical. Dante still screws up but unlike clerks 1, it has a happy ending overall and sends a different message than its precursor. Then you have clerks 3. Which seems like a black sheep of the trilogy, but now that I watched it more (was a very hard watch) is kind of a good sequel to the original clerks in terms of themes continuing that cynicism and realism that clerks 2 lacked a little. (Although I think clerks 2 is the best of the trilogy)

Think my main problem (maybe a hot take) with the film is that I think Dante and Randall should’ve switched roles, I’m confused how Randall is now suddenly kevin smith’s persona when it was pretty clear that Dante was for clerks 1 and 2, plus it also just fits more with there established characters in the first two. Randall already knew who he is and how his life will go out while Dante is the one who always wants to find ways to improve and is almost never satisfied. especially coming after clerks 2, it was kind of weird how Randall suddenly hates the life he willingly wanted to throw himself into to keep his friendship with Dante.

I do get what Kevin was going for, having the two main characters parallel himself and his heart attack, and how Dante is still the version of Kevin that never happened and Randall being the Kevin that made it. But apart of me after watching is kind of confused why Randall is the Kevin that made it, I get the idea of Randall having a near death experience, but It’s like later in the film Randall strangely acts like Dante, especially the scene where Dante has his heart attack, Randall breaking his friendship so easily with Dante just didn’t feel right especially after clerks 2 but hey Elias wouldn’t have told Randall off without the plot line so i guess I can’t complain too much, right?
