"three movies about people walking!"

clerks II. i am sorry to say that the above quote is the ONLY thing that even made me smile about this movie, and that makes me very sad. like any other angst filled younger person in the 1990s - i found great joy in watching kevin smith movies. when i heard he made a sequel to 'clerks', the funny albeit raunchy, movie about a few 20something slackers who work in crappy minimum wage jobs, i was ecstatic. then i saw it. rather, i saw 40 minutes of it because that was all i could take. i have only ever walked out of one movie in my life prior to today: jerry maguire (that's another story). clerks II was following the same guys - now 30something slackers working in minimum wage jobs- and the raunch factor was times ten now. i have no issue with raunch but it seemed completely pointless and the biggest problem was - IT WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL! i think there was a 'pussy' joke every 5 minutes- none were funny. i don't really even know what else to say...i guess that was kevin smith's problem too. hey --- he had a good run. f.
