Kevin Smith is still making another goddamn Clerks
Kevin Smith’s latest intolerably wide-eyed, puckered Instagram selfie comes with a warning: he’s seriously making another Clerks sequel.
As the first person hitting 50 and still thinking their best shit was done when they were a 23-year-old service worker writing about their own life, Smith has long been fixated on for some reason continuing his so-called “View Askewniverse”—the lazy, Jersey-set cinematic world where Smith divides his persona into this one obnoxious guy who usually has a goatee, this other white guy who’s even more of an opinionated shit-head, and a poor man’s Greek chorus of two bros who smoke weed. He already claimed he started writing Clerks 3 at 4:20 (hilarious!) back in 2013, and threatened it at least the year prior.
But now, thanks to reconnecting with original Clerks star Jeff Anderson, he’s apparently re-starting the entire campaign. He’s beginning a new script—at hopefully an equally hilarious time!—and again trying to conclude what he acts like was always meant to be this trilogy filled with in no way notable characters.
