or Clerks XXXVII

it’s gotta be so good it makes your dick fly off.

To be fair, the cinematography was stellar. Still wondering how they managed to fit all the lights in there.

Yes, it was. Don’t ask how we got the footage, though. We promised not to tell.

Bit unnerving with the proctologist approaching with the camera while saying “KALI MA...KALI MA...”

Not to be pedantic, but getting a kidney stone removed is better than anything.  It’s the kidney stone itself which is hell (I’ve lost count of how many I’ve had).

Not a 37-minute standing ovation?

It’s definitely in newspaperese. But not quite a “crash blossom” like the original “Volinist linked to JAL crash blossoms” (referring to how a young violinist injured by a crash has recovered), or my favorite: “McDonald’s Fries Holy Grail for Potato Farmers” (referring to how getting a McDonald’s contract can be very…

I think of soap. And murder.

or Clerks III!

This is your helpful reminder that Clerks II received an 8-minute standing ovation at Cannes: https://filmthreat.com/uncategorized/clerks-2-gets-8-minute-standing-ovation-at-cannes/

I thought it was a little too much to have Adam Driver come out in the post credit scene just to stab Indy in the gut and toss him into a pit.

“At Bell Labs we are bringing the future of communication to your home. No more will Father, Mother, or little Billy have to ask an operator to connect them. With its futuristic “dial” it’s in their destiny to directly contact the person they want to speak to!”

Meanwhile, people who are me are already dreading weeks of hype/anti-hype/hot takes, and are perfectly content to not really spend much time thinking about this movie until they see it, and then they’ll discuss it for a bit, and then they’ll move on to more important things.

Something about the title makes me think of one of those Bell Telephone educational short films.
