May 26 2006Clerks 2 Clip on Sequels
Fans of Kevin Smith, wet your Clerks 2 whistle with this clip of Dante and Randal discussing the merits of sequels and their catchphrases, poking fun at other movies and itself. Personally, I couldn't agree more on the ridiculousness of the reprise of catchphrases in sequels. They're the reason that, upon the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. and after the mourning, a lot of people were kind of glad that it meant no direct sequel to the "I Have a Dream" speech. While it had a terrific impact the first time, critics worried hearing the famous line too much might turn the civil rights leader into, "another Urkel."

Everything Kevin Smith has touched since and including Dogma has sucked. Sorry Kevin. You're contending for king of those who make movies for themselves and their friends to giggle at. "I'll be back"? How awesomely 1991!!!!

So when you watched the first Clerks, were you yelling at the screen "Death Star, how awesomely 1980!!!1" Randall and Dante aren't talking about current pop culture, they're talking about the same things we all grew up with.
