I mean, he was kind of playing in the same realm as Richard Linklater and Quentin Tarantino, but I'd put most of the Clerks dialogue up there with anything from Slacker and the opening diner conversation/commode story from Reservoir Dogs.

Randal's off camera delivery of "Hey, what happened to all the Gatorade?" might be my favorite line in the movie.

I didn't think Red State was bad. It was interesting, at least.

Ill go to bat for his utter commitment to the character of Shaggy being one of the very few endearing things about the Scooby-Doo movies.

Showtime was running a marathon leading up to the premier, and it was helpful watching the back half of season 2 again, just for context. They didn't run Fire Walk with Me, though, which I've never seen and apparently the new series takes a lot from.

They're DONALD'S nephews! And they have super easy-to-remember names, too!

It can be two things. And when you're watched by millions of people a day, many of them under 15 years old, it matters.

You have to hand it to those dolphins. They just wanted it more.

It's mentioned in the article, but as a non-wrestling fan, John Cena went way up in my estimation when I learned about his work with the Make-a-Wish Foundation. That's a decent human being, right there.

He was also the only thing that was even remotely bearable in Fred: The Movie.

You know you can just watch the Mexico scenes from Ocean's Thirteen, right?
