Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel
bckrispi writes "Director Kevin Smith has announced an official sequel to his indie cult classic, Clerks. Currently titled "The Passion of the Clerks", the film will pick up with Dante and Randal ten years after the original as our two heroes trudge through the malaise of their thirties. Jason Mewes, now out of rehab, is back on deck to play Jay across Smith's Silent Bob."
As a Kevin Smith fan, perhaps you could explain why you are a Kevin Smith fan in the first place? I'm not a hater or anything, I like a couple of his movies. He just seems so ... sophomoric. Like a guy who's learning how to write screenplays and make movies, and has learned enough to actually make them, but isn't terribly talented or inspired or anything; more like he's just got a couple of stock characters he made up in high school and now he makes movies with them. What's the real attraction to him as a fan?
