A rotund, insufferably smug oxygen thief inexplicably granted an endless supply of cash to write / produce / direct / 'act' in an agonising series of self-gratifying filmic
shit.
'Clerks' was passable at the time of its making, but he wanked it dry, and the whole setup is no longer either believable or
funny.
It doesn'
t help that he can't write - his supposedly
quirky 'observational' stuff is painfully contrived - and that none of the otherwise unknown cronies that populate his lead roles film after film can act.
Still, while he, Michael Bay et al continue to find
work there's hope for the least of us.
I never thought my screenplay 'Lindsay
Dawn And Deng Xiaoping In The Quest For The
Cunt Of Mohammed' would sell until I saw
Kevin Smith's 'Clerks 2'.
