I didn't even like Clerks the first time, or Mallrats or Chasing Amy or any of those, but I thought Clerks 2 was a totally watchable and well put together little labor of love. I would totally watch a third movie, no matter how much of a self-parody Kevin Smith seems determined to become.

"We made too much money," said Harry. "Yes," said Ron, quietly. "We made too much money."

The song sucks and all, but why would "my love don't cost a thing" be a lie? Jennifer Lopez makes a lot more money than most people she's liable to want to have sex with. Do you really think she's holding out for a sugar daddy?
