Clerks 2 is the superior Clerks

I think I would only be excited if they announced that the movie will just be three previously unaired episodes of Clerks: The Animated Series.

WHAT’S THIS?

“Maybe he and this Chelsea Flanders are related?”

... and in Tampa, at that.

Land O Lakes Jail? Is that where they're sending Hillary for all those butter emails I keep hearing about?

i had this very boomer liberal feminist history professor in college and she was doing this very droll bit about how napoleon’s whole thing was to make up for feeling insecure about his height or something and so i pointed out that he wasn’t and because it was 2002 and I said i read about it online she ridiculed me…

Thanks for this thorough overview. I say this as a straight white cis guy, but what baffles me so much about pop culture gatekeeping in its depressingly myriad forms, is how refreshing it is to see a new or under explored perspective. My wife and I just watched the finale of BLSS last night and even when the sketches…

Hey all. Just wanted to drop in here and give a very sincere thank you to everyone who’s read the piece and everyone who’s commented below. I had to kind of talk myself into writing this, for a number of reasons, but I’m glad I did, and I’m deeply moved by the responses here—by those of you sharing your own…

Absolutely Awesome, Dowd.

This is damn good writing, A.A. It resonated with me in many ways. Like you, it seems, I grew up in a household that could be kindly described as volatile, under the thumb of a cruel and violent stepfather and a mother who encouraged and occasionally participated in what he did. And also like you, I first read IT at…

CUT MY COW IN TWO PIECES!  THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!

Only time in my life I’ve had an honest-to-goodness blackout panic attack was watching the end of The Mist.

Agatha Christie, maybe. That BBC Poirot show adapted every single Poirot story, and by the third or fourth year every episode was basically a 90-minutes TV movie. Then there’s the Miss Marple stuff, various theatrically-released movies, and even a recent anime about both Poirot and Maple (yes, really).

He can't do James Brown without Dr. Joyce Brothers.

I, to my shame and delight, know what the Suncrusher is. 

Star Wars was a culture juggernaut from 1977 to about 1983 and then, like most things back then, it sorta faded from the public. Sure people still enjoyed seeing it on TV. A lot of people’s first VCRs came with a collection of bootlegs that included it. People knew about it but didn’t obsess over it. Even the…

Or crying because Rian Johnson didn’t mash the action figures together the way they wanted him to.

I don’t disagree, entirely, but the mainstream brand of Star Wars was at its lowest ebb in the early side of the 90s. The movies were always popular, sure, but there’s the entire garbage fire of the EU that was definitely a niche interest. Nobody knows (or should know) what the Suncrusher is. Or remembers that there…

Their flower power was no match for my GLOWER POWER!
