My issue with clerks 2 is that even when the main characters were being jerks in the first one, I got where they were coming from. I’ve worked retail and I get that sense of impotent rage.

In clerks 2, they just come off as assholes. Dante has a woman who loves him and has managed to get him a much better job.…

I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Clerks 2, mainly because I really identified with the characters’ situations. I’d been out of college for a few years and felt pretty rudderless. I was still working a dead-end retail job and had no idea what I was going to do or how I would do it. Clerks 2 spoke to me on that…

I had loved Crichton’s book The Lost World, and was very disappointed how little of the book’s plot made it into the movie.

Lost World is overall pretty lousy, but I will say it has some things going for it. Spielberg is still great with setpieces and action scenes, and while some of them in Lost World really don’t work, there are some really fantastic moments here and there, like the scene with the raptors in the grass. It still has some…

JP2 was indeed my first “wait, this sucked large quantities of ass” moment as a kid. It taught me movies I was excited for could actually be bad and I needed to perhaps save my money in some cases. That laid all the track I needed for Phantom Menace to come in and not break my heart as badly.

Wow. Season 3 (excellent) of Fargo is a masterpiece below season 2 (nearly flawless) and above season 1 (surprisingly good). Season 3 is a Rorschach test for the viewer. and characters. It’s a Schrodinger’s cat experiment. The prison escapee/fake cop doesn’t work at all, but that’s the only big misfire. I still think…

The prequels were so bad and I will never understand why the past four years have brought out the apologists.

I did a Buffy rewatch maybe two years ago and I was surprised by some of my takeaways. Season 2 is still the best story the show ever told, and season 3 was its high point for overall quality. Season 6 was wayyyyy better the second time around because by now I’m used to serialized storytelling, plus the drug-metaphor…

I’m gonna make a case for Captain Marvel.

The Lost World is easily the shittiest sequel I can think of off the top of my head in any given situation. WOW. It is so fucking bad. 

Zelda II is nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be; it’s just different. 

I saw Clerks 2 while living in New Jersey, and everyone around me in the theater was absolutely HOWLING with laughter the entire time. I just kinda sat there and chuckled from time to time. It was odd. Then we all came outside and it was raining because of course it was. We were in New Jersey.

I remember turning off The Lost World after like 40 minutes out of boredom as a child, never got around to seeing the whole thing and I would watch complete junk all the way through.

What I hate most is how Lost World turned Ian Malcolm into a grimy action star. It’s like Goldblum isn’t even playing the same character.

I remember right after the dual T-Rex attack having this sudden realization in the theater of “Wait, does this movie . . . suck? How is this possible?” And then it went on to prove me right for the rest of its run time. 

I thought Clerks 2 was perfectly fine for what it was trying to be. On the other hand, while I like-to-strongly-like most of Kevin Smith’s movies, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was easily the worst excuse for a comedy I have ever seen in my life and I pray there’s never a direct sequel.

Wait. There's a show about a group of friends living in the same building in NYC, and it's titled The Village, and it takes place in Brooklyn!?

Yeah.  Wanting to sleep with Kattan is a pretty bad look.

Streaming content is a disease. Meet the cure.

Replace Constance Wu with her in Fresh Off the Boat and everyone’s problems will be solved.
