The Passion of the Clerks.
August 6, 2006Yeah, I had to see it. Skepticism ran high but curiosity trumped low expectations and I found myself downloading Clerks 2. (My female companion had as much intrest in going to the theater with me to see a sequel to a low budget 90’s gem as I have in joining her in a 5 hours long evening with the dvd reissue of Gone With the Wind. And I love sleeping.)
So this morning I woke up early, fixed myself a spanish coffee and got down to business. The outcome? I feel surprisingly good. And the movie wasn’t bad either. Naturally I had to expect stupid, if I hadn’t I wouldn’t be a true fan of the original, would I? And I got what I planned on. In a good way, though. Even at my age I really do enjoy watching a bondage clad bouncer-ish guy fucking a donkey in the dining room of a fast food joint. Some things never change. And after all, as Randal himself says, “What’s the point of having an internet connection if you’re not using it to look at weird fucked up pictures of dirty sex you’ll never have yourself?”
