"How the *beep* do you always have like two good-looking girls who want you? You're the most hideous *beep* chud I've ever met, and you always have a pair of girls fighting over you."

Then it goes into *beep* supernova with a amazing last third... the entire movie is such a strong sequel up there with the best of them... poetically this is certainly Mr Smiths *Empire strikes back*

To all the above posters, the OP is saying that the first two thirds of the movie were great, and the last third was even better. The he compares the movie as a whole to The Empire Strikes Back, I assume because he feels it is a sequel that surpasses its original.

"... [The] entire movie is such a strong sequel [sic] up there with the best of them... poetically this is certainly Mr Smiths [sic] *Empire strikes back*" - User tthbrmt

I sincerely disagree. No...this movie CLEARLY went into film-making Supernova during that iconic moment where Jay says:

"Yeah... I'd be the first [expletive] to see a new galaxy, or find a new alien life form... and [expletive] it."

I mean, that sort of sheer brilliance of wit is up there in the sheer comedic heights of any of Shakespeare's farces, or Spike Milligan's "Puckoon"...at LEAST comparable to Douglas Adams, the *beep*ing hack.

And the direction! The SCALE of Smith's filmic achievement! The sheer ARTISTRY of putting one's WIFE in the film, in a total sweetheart of a role (her character has what is referred to as an "unnaturally large clitoris") - Ci-ne-ma-tic B-L-I-S-S, people! Especially notable is Smith's restraint. For example, the scene in which he makes his wife walk into the restaurant, saying not a word - only to hop up on to the foodstuffs counter, and begin erotically making out with her man - ol' Smithy topped himself with that one. And then...le mot juste...Ben Affleck, the unwitting customer, looks right into the camera, breaking the fourth wall (ALWAYS a daring move) and he has a "Whattaya gonna do?" look on his face...Well! THIS is how it's done, ye students of film.

In fact my first viewing experience was SO good, I destroyed my collections of both Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick films in utter disgust at their ridiculous attempts at filmmaking, if one can even call it that, compared to Smith's talents and I swear a solemn oath that if I ever have the misfortune of meeting Woody Allen, I shall spit in his face and laugh at his sheer GALL; calling himself a maker of COMEDIC FILMS in the time of SMITH. Blasphemous in the extreme.

Were Charlie Chaplin alive to see the triumph of "Clerks II", I do believe he would have ordered all prints of his films destroyed, and then he likely would have died out of sheer jealousy...myself knowing full-well how unlikely a cause of death that may be.

If he ever releases a "Clerks III" (one can dare to dream!) The will likely have trouble keeping such brilliance from causing second earth-destroying supernovae, and thus our time may very well be limited. I shall die happy, having seen this.

Good day to you.
