Saw Clerks II tonight. I thought it was decent, which I was pleasantly surprised at because I was prepared to hate it. I just have never thought that much of Kevin Smith. I did like the first Clerks, but when dude tries to get topical or plot-driven, he just sucks. And he's wayyyyy too full of himself. But this was decent--it did make me laugh quite a bit, so I tolerated the plot and the schmaltziness.

And it featured the music of the one and only KING FUCKING DIAMOND, and you can't beat that with a stick.

Lonzie scolded me for coming home late. :(

It's funny that you got more remarks about your cat than about Clerks II. Best thing for avoiding kitty abandonment issues is getting another cat for that sucker to play with while yer gone. They'll keep each other straight (and entertained) and will develop much better personalities. Just don't get 98 more cats and end up dead in a mountain of filth. 2 cats. No more.

I didn't hate Clerks II, but I thought he put in too many sell-out moments. The love crap and the dance scene were not very good. The cameos were not so great. He apparently failed to get Matt Damon in on it and I really wish he hadn't bothered with the other has-been. He didn't capitalize on Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee's present jobs. There was a mild hint of fraud througout the whole thing. But, I did have a laugh. I think Dogma's still his best effort with a large-ish budget, but just about anything's better than Jersey Girl.
